Israeli forces wound 130 Palestinians at Gaza border protest

 

 

GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli soldiers shot and wounded 130 Palestinians during protests near the Gaza Strip border on Friday, the enclave's Health Ministry said.

 

An Israeli military spokeswoman said about 10,000 demonstrators massed at the border and that some threw burning tyres, grenades and explosive devices at the troops across the fence.

 

But the protest was relatively small - some of the previous gatherings included about 30,000 people, a sign that tensions that have built up in the past few days may be easing.

 

On Thursday Israel had ramped up armoured forces along the Gaza border, a day after a rocket fired from the enclave destroyed a home in southern Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, vowed "very strong action" if attacks continued.

 

A Palestinian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Egyptian security officials had held separate meetings in the past few days with Israeli counterparts and with leaders of the Palestinian Islamist Hamas group that rules Gaza in an effort to prevent an escalation in violence.

 

Palestinians have been protesting along the border since March 30, demanding an end to Israel's blockade of the territory and the right to return to lands that Palestinians fled or were driven from upon Israel’s founding in 1948.

 

About 200 Gazans have been killed by Israeli troops since the protests started, according to Palestinian Health Ministry figures, and an Israeli soldier was killed by a Palestinian sniper.

 

Palestinians have also launched incendiary balloons and kites from Gaza into Israel and on occasion breached the Israeli frontier fence.

 

More than 2 million Palestinians are packed into the narrow coastal enclave. Israel pulled troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005 but maintains tight control of its land and sea borders. Egypt also restricts movement in and out of Gaza on its border. Israel and Hamas have fought three wars in the past decade.

The Arab World are using the Palestinians to pressurise Israel because the Arab World doesnt accept the Jewish state .

  Arab Countries could quite easily take the Palestinians to their own Countries , but they keep them pressed against Israel to show their disdain for Israel

Wrong, they don't want the trash either.

What do the Palestinians hope to achieve by these protests ?

For them there , on the ground , you can understand them taking some action .

But , from a distance , looking in , what do they expect the outcome to be ?

Its not as if the Israelis will give any concessions at all .

Do they think that Israelis will say "Fair enough , come and live in Israel" , and take the fence down ?

Israel could de-escalate the situation by easing the 11 year old Gaza blockade and allowing some elderly Palestinians and their immediate families security vetted to return to the land they were born in and were ethnically cleansed from.

 

The only reason they won't do this is pure racism.

On a political level, the protests provide an outlet for public sentiment regarding ongoing conditions in the Gaza Strip, without the angst being directed at the Hamas regime itself. It also helps to keep the narrative of "resistance" alive, regardless of actual achievements.

 

Vs. Israel, the equation is that ongoing protests, casualties, incendiary attacks on neighboring territory and such would eventually erode Israel's resolve, and/or create enough of a momentum for international pressure in order to achieve a partial lift of the blockade, and allow aid funds to pour in, without Hamas giving away much.

The blockade is in place precisely because of Hamas's actions, agenda and policies. It is not that it was always in place. De-escalation would require the Hamas to take some serious steps as well, and alter it's policies. Your attempt to paint deescalation as a one-way street is ridiculous. 

 

Similarly, despite your misleading presentations, the blockade on the Gaza Strip is maintained by Egypt as well. If Egypt was so inclined it could effectively nullify most of the effects associated with the blockade. Somehow, Egypt consistently fails to do so. 

 

On top of that, the conditions in the Gaza Strip are directly tied to the ongoing schism between the two main Palestinian factions. Whether you like to acknowledge it or not, Abbas is on the forefront of tightening the screws on the Gaza Strip, at least until he gets his political way.

 

Your usual, bogus, right of return nonsense was addressed on numerous topics. It seems that your are either oblivious to facts, or determined to ignore them. Keeping up a false narrative is pretty much all you've got going at this time.

You post seemingly knowledgeable comments regarding this subject on numerous threads.

 

Perhaps you could explain something. The Jewish people of Biblical times, the ones who fell under Roman occupation and before that, lived in the Middle East. Where did they live and who owned that land?

Oh dear... You went there

 

the Bible is fairly clear on this... there was a great flood, but Noah was prepared... he built an arch, and filled it with two of everything... the arch grounded out, as the water receded, upon mount Ararat.

 

now... mt Ararat lies just to the north of the Middle East, so as the water receded, all the fornicating animals descended southward, to warmer climes, thereby inhabiting what we now call the Middle East.

Whatever you're imbibing you need to give it up and seek help - quickly.

 

Or perhaps you think Monty Python's version was real?

 

Try reading about history rather than religion.

Because they were ethnically cleansed from Israel, and they have a right to return there. Israel would like the Palestinian refugee right of return very conveniently to disappear, but that ain't going to happen. So Israel should face reality and strike the best deal they can...acceptable to both sides.

Agreed. People who share the Jewish faith certainly did live in the Middle East 2,500 years ago, but not the same ones stepping off a plane at Ben Gurion airport who have never set eyes on the place before claiming a right of return and instant citizenship purely on the basis of their religion, while Palestinians who were actually born in Israel protesting at the fence are not allowed a right of return purely on the basis of their ethnicity and religion.

 

That's racism.

Oh dear... you were serious.

 

ok.... the Israelites followed a man named isreal (hence Israelites).... these followers of isreal, were a collection of tribes in the Levant, occupying cannonite and phillistine territories, that grew in number, until they were strong enough to other throw the pre existing establishment of Philistines, setting themselves up as the new rulers under their own kings (David)

 

palestine is a derivative (linguistic from Latin or Greek) word of phillistine

 

so... around in circles we go... Palestine ( née phillistine) became the kingdoms of Judea and Israel, which was in turn completely subjugated by Rome following the Maccabean rebellion against Rome.... then crusaders... then saracins

 

or something like that

 

so... arguably the area of isreal, historically, is Palestinian.

 

Damn... maybe I know something about history, after all

And... there we were, waiting for the fabulous jarad k, defacto ambassador to Saudi Arabia, to roll out his brilliant Middle East peace plan.

 

i guess that ain’t going to happen anytime soon ????????????

@farcanell has explained who they were, so the next question is where did they go?

 

Many left Palestine over the centuries for a variety of reasons; sometimes forcibly. Many more remained and these days are called Palestinian Jews. 

 

As an aside, there have been many accusations that these are treated as de facto second class citizens by European Jews exercising their right of return; but I have no evidence on this.

 

Others who remained converted to Islam, for one reason or another, and some even became Christian. It is these who today are called Palestinians and for many their ancestors have lived on the land as long, if not longer, as the ancestors of any Israeli.

 

BTW, the term Palestinian Arab refers to any one whose ancestors have lived in Palestine for generations; be they Jewish, Muslim, Christian or whatever. Though these days it is usually used to refer to non Jews in general and Muslims in particular.
