Hamas riots are now going on near Israel’s border for seven weeks. This Friday, Gaza residents hurled pipe bombs, rocks, grenades, and burned down the humanitarian aid station. In response, US envoy Jason Greenblatt called out Hamas for “taking Gaza back to the stone age.”

“What an embarrassment, what desolation, what failure. Greenblatt said, “All parties interested in bringing change to Gaza need to face the reality that Hamas has failed its own people.”
Israel blames the Hamas terror organization for everything that happens in the Gaza Strip, both above and below the ground. Of course, Hamas will bear the consequences for its actions. Israel cannot allow these Hamas riots to go on without swift action and a response.
IDF Spokesman Earlier today, dozens of rioters vandalized & ignited fires on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom humanitarian crossing in Gaza. The rioters damaged gas pipelines that run from Israel to Gaza & benefit the Gaza’s residents 1:28 PM - May 11, 2018
This is what's left of the only humanitarian crossing that supplies Gaza w/ everything it neeeds from Israel: gas, fuel, goods & food.
It was intentionally destroyed yesterday by Hamas terrorists. Hamas, a genocidal terror org, has perpatrated another crime against Palestinians. 9:44 AM - May 12, 2018
Damage The damage caused at the Kerem Shalom humanitarian crossing:
The fuel terminal has been rendered totally unusable.
Gas pipelines – Damage was caused to connection stations. The main gas line is now not functioning at all.
Fuel pipes – The fueling site sustained fire and fracture damages.
Aggregate conveyor belt – rendered unsuitable for operation at all. Arab terror caused significant damage to the entire structure.
Grain conveyors, food and livestock – Arab terror damaged the electricity infrastructure.
Security infrastructure of the humanitarian crossing – Damage was caused to fences, light poles and cameras.
Israeli Reaction Due to the destruction and burning of the Kerem Shalom humanitarian crossing on the Palestinian side in the Gaza Strip last night by dozens of violent rioters under the auspices of the Hamas terror organization, the Minister of Defense, Mr. Avigdor Liberman, approved the IDF and COGAT, Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon’s recommendation to close the Kerem Shalom humanitarian crossing from tomorrow (Sunday, May 13th) until further notice. The crossing will stay open for humanitarian cases only.
The crossing will remain closed until the damages caused by the riots are repaired and will reopen in accordance with a situation assessment. The Hamas terror organization, which in recent weeks has been carrying out terrorist attacks in the guise of riots, is harming the well-being of Gazans and paralyzing their ability to go about their daily lives.
Israel and many countries around the world work to deliver goods such as food, equipment and fuel to Gaza’s citizens. The Hamas prevents these initiatives through their actions.
Nothing has changed in 50 years. Perhaps 1500 years.

Photos at link. Very little being written about the "targets" of Hamas attacks, doesn't fit the narrative I guess.
“The Hamas terror organization, which in recent weeks has been carrying out terrorist attacks in the guise of riots, is harming the well-being of Gazans and paralyzing their ability to go about their daily lives.”
I’m not sure why the article distinguishes the people in Gaza from Hamas. Hamas is their elected government. It’s raison d’etre is a war of annihilation against Israel. If the hapless Gazans wanted and needed relief, they would cease hostilities. They haven’t and, apparently, they don’t.
Fine. Let them starve in the dark.
Savages, the lot of them.

I would proclaim trump lifetime emperor god of the world if he proclaimed palisimians citizens of Jordan
I believe you're being too kind. Israel should just start throwing bananas over the wall and have done with it. It's alot cheaper.
Around 1972 or so I remember a TV news report on “The Good Fence.” Israelis made a big hole in a chain link fence and let Arabs bring their children and relatives to be treated by Israeli MDS and nurses from the Israeli side for free every day until daylight ended. This was often their only medical treatment in their lives.
Note: During the same time I remember the stories of Israeli mothers wailing in terror as Arabs kidnapped their babies and toddlers and took them to throw off building roofs while taunting the mothers and laughing at them.
Hopefully the murdering, blood-soaked, always -angry lunatics in Gaza will starve to death because of their customary bad judgment and continuing uncivility. What absolute losers.
bookmark because later the haters will decry Israel as a genocidal apartheid state. Blah, blah, blah.

Kill ‘em all, and let Allah-Satan sort them out!
I think it was Golda Maier who said there will be no Mideast peace until Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews.
We won't be that lucky. The do-gooder international organizations led by the United Notions and the Euro Whimps will spend more of our money to repair facilities and continue to feed and comfort the worthless rabble. Generations of largely ignorant and unskilled humans who are taught only one thing: to hate the successful Israelis on the other side of the fence.
I don't know if there is ever going to be a humane solution since no other Arab nation wants this riotous flock of leeches.
It may be that the most “humane” thing is to put them out of their unquenchable hatred and self-imposed misery.
Thanks SJackson.

Why not?
They all want the martyr’s death; okay, let’s oblige them.
