Palestinian shot dead, border crossing torched as Gazans clash with Israeli forces
CNN ^ | Fri May 11, 2018 | Andrew Carey

Dozens of Palestinian youths set fire to the Kerem Shalom border crossing, the only point where goods enter Gaza from Israel. Gas pipelines at the crossing, bringing fuel into the coastal enclave, were damaged, the army said.

This is the seventh straight week that Palestinians have participated in the "March of Return" along the border fence with Israel.

Palestinians are calling for an end to Israel's blockade of the territory and their right to return to lands their families fled or were expelled from during Israel's founding seven decades ago.

Israel says the demonstrations are orchestrated by Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza.

Abu Mustafa is the latest Palestinian to be killed during the protests. Since they began in March, more than 50 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, according to a CNN count based on figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

No Israeli soldiers have been killed or injured.

Palestinians and human rights organizations accuse Israel of using excessive and illegal force on what they described as mostly peaceful protesters.

The IDF said on Friday that forces are "responding with riot dispersal means and are firing in accordance with the rules of engagement."

Well, I hate to see dozens of youth die, but what the heck.

If they have a death wish, so be it.

CNN's discernment once again placed on display for the public to assess.

And no Arabs were expelled from Israel 70 years ago. Some left, however, thinking they could come back when all the Jews were dead.

At least CNN cited the source of their misinformation.

YUP; last time I checked, a brick or a medium rock to the head will kill you just as dead as a 7.62mm round.

Palestinian Arab rioters haven’t harmed Israel. But they have cut off their own gas supplies.

No fuel for cooking and heating. And there are more days of rage ahead.

Can’t fix stuck on stupid.
