White House senior adviser Jared Kushner is pushing a peace deal and hyping its possible benefits as Israeli forces use lethal force against Palestinian protesters in Gaza.
On Monday alone, Israeli troops killed 16 Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy and a man in a wheelchair, and some 500 protesters were injured, at least 200 by live bullets.
The UN has been investigating Israel's use of force against the Palestinians, of whom more than 60 have been killed since March 30 when the protests started.
The Palestinians are protesting what they see as an occupation of their lands by Israel, and many of them have said they will cross into Israel's border to fight the occupation, something which Israel has repeatedly met with force.
The protests will culminate on Tuesday, the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, or what Palestinians call a "catastrophe," when Israel was created and large swaths of land moved into Israeli control.
"A massacre will happen on a 15th," Isam Hammad, one of the organizers of the protests, told Haaretz.
On Monday alone, Israeli troops killed 16 Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy and a man in a wheelchair, and some 500 protesters were injured, at least 200 by live bullets, health officials said, according to Reuters.
Some estimates Monday morning put the number killed at 41, and the number injured in the thousands.
The UN has opened an investigation into Israel's use of force against the protesters.
Experts almost unanimously agree that moving the US embassy to Jerusalem will make a peace deal more difficult.

Sort of evens out the Achile Lauro attack....
The hatred of God’s people consumes the followers of Allah.
AOL? Is that even a thing anymore? Next, they’ll blame murder victims for deforming bullets.
Great point.
Jeez... any more SJW/Anti-Semitic slant, and they might as well just get over it, and use the associated terminology, such as ‘Al Quds’ in place of Jerusalem, and ‘Occupied Palestine’ instead of Israel.
Has anyone gotten the required sound-bite from Roger Waters yet?

People under threat of annihilation often use force to defend themselves.
Israel IS the occupied land they want.
The Arabs want ALL the land.

Ya riot; ya get shot. What’s wrong with that?
AOL always was suspect..... still is letting lies give them BM OF THE BRAIN!
Wow! Talk about pro-terrorist propaganda!
Good.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all if they put the boy and wheelchair bound man at the front of the crowd.
I had to explain to someone the other day that Iraq was harboring Abbu Abbas (”mastermind” of the Achille Lauro murders) when we invaded Iraq.
Pure propaganda article.
There would be no deaths if the animals
had not tried to storm the border.
A man in a wheelchair. GIVE ME A BREAK.
Question, what’s a live bullet?

Experts? In the Middle East? Well what have these experts accomplished in the past 30 years?
Now we know what the “N” in “UN” stands for (along with NBC).
