The Sun Will Rise - Is there any hope in Oslo Accords?
RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
This is a pitch using the bid for an emotional appeal. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "freedom."
It seeks a connection to a mother's sympathy. It is not a bad technique but used so many times that it becomes a critics choice.
It opens with the peaceful nature of the march, and then it transitions into the standard "parade of the wounded and the dead," making sure they center on any children that they can.
(COMMENT)
It does not ask even the most basic journalistic interrogatives.
If it was peaceful:
◈ Were there any incendiary devices?
◈ Were there any explosive devices?
◈ Were there any leaders encouraging attempts to rush and breach the border?
How many former inhabitants of Israel were actually there and taking part. If they were an infant, they would now be at least 70 years old.
I suspect that if the Gazans had stayed away from the border barriers → there would have been no injuries or death attributed to the Israelis. The entire event was orchestrated by HAMAS to create a media event and sympathy for the Arab Palestinians of the Gaza Strip.
Most Respectfully,

Was there an occupation? Was there a siege? Were there regular bombing attacks? Were there regular shootings of civilians?It does not ask even the most basic journalistic interrogatives.
