Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border

[Sixties Fan]

Ma'an reports:

A member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Saleh Rafat, reiterated that the Central Council will meet after the Eid al-Fitr holiday and in the forefront of the issues to be discussed is the cessation of all forms of security coordination with Israel.

Regarding Israel’s intention of deducting the amount of damage of the (burning) kites from the tax revenues, Rafat stressed that this measure is illegal and illegitimate. He said that this comes in the framework of the piracy that Israel conducts. He demanded that Israel compensate the sons of our people that have been driven out with trillions, and enable them to return to their lands (or houses), in accordance with UN resolution no. 194.”
Trillions? Is that all?

That's pocket change for those people who own the banks, right?

Straight from the murderer’s mouth…

This is scary. Hamas is saying publicly what we’ve known for years. Hamas, a terror organization, admits that the money trail leads straight to Iran. In other words, Iran supports Hamas. Terrorists supports terrorism. Yes, Hamas states that they get support from Iran. And they say it was’t cheap. That’s no surprise, considering they waste their money on building terror tunnels and ruining their economy.

What's interesting is that the two hostile, majority tribes of Islamism (Shiite Iran and Sunni Arab) will occasionally find a reason to declare a Hudna in their 1,400 year long blood feud. They will temporarily halt slaughtering each other for the purpose of Jew killing but make no mistake, these angry 7th century retrogrades despise each other. It's only a matter of time before the Sunni Arab world ramps up their slaughter of the Shiite apostates.

However, The Post, while reporting that the IDF “destroyed” its 10thterror tunnel since October 2017, failed to fully note Hamas’s genocidal motivation for the attack. Instead, the paper resorted to uncritically repeating Hamas claims that “the blockade” was creating “a growing humanitarian crisis in what they describe as an open-air prison.” This, Hamas claimed, was the reason for the violence. That this “crisis” is entirely Hamas-made and could end any second should the terror group desist from attempting to destroy Israel was not mentioned. The perennial misuse of international aid by Hamas (some examples of which can be found here) was also omitted.

Nor did The Post inform readers that the security blockade allows for essential supplies. Instead, the paper stated, “Israel has not granted permits to all of the injured to cross into the other Palestinian territory in the West Bank for treatment.” The report failed to inform readers that the terror group has a long history of using ill Palestinians to smuggle weapons and explosives (see, for example “Palestinian Women Tried to Smuggle Explosives as Cancer Medicine, Media Shrugs,” CAMERA, April 26, 2017).

Indeed, any semblance of Palestinian independent agency and Hamas responsibility was completely missing from The Post’s dispatch. The same day as the newspaper’s report was filed, The Times of Israel noted:

On May 14, as in all the preceding weeks, there were actually two demonstrations taking place. One, which was largely peaceful, was hundreds of meters from the border fence. The other, which was right up against the fence, was anything but peaceful. Members of terrorist organizations threw bombs, Molotov cocktails, and slingshot-propelled rocks at soldiers. They flew incendiary kites across the border to set Israeli fields ablaze (to date, some 300 of these kites have ignited 100 fires, destroyed more than 3,000 acres of wheat and caused millions of shekels worth of damage). They vandalized the fence and tried to break through it. These are the “demonstrators” Israel targeted with measures ranging from tear gas to, when necessary, live fire, as evidenced by the fact that 53 of the 62 killed belonged to terrorist organizations.

Baby Layla was taken to the nonviolent protest by her 12-year-old uncle, who mistakenly thought her mother was there. Upon discovering his mistake, he responsibly kept her in the nonviolent section until late afternoon, when she began crying. Then, wanting to hand her off to an older relative, he “pushed forward into the protest in search of her grandmother, Heyam Omar, who was standing in a crowd under a pall of black smoke, shouting at Israeli soldiers across the fence,” the Times reported. Panicked by Layla’s crying, he deliberately brought her into the most violent part of the protest, where Israel was exercising its legitimate right of self-defense and where no baby should ever have been. And she died.

An axe that the army says had been in the possession of a Palestinian man who tried to cross into Israeli territory from the southern Gaza Strip before being shot dead by IDF troops on June 4, 2018. (Israel Defense Forces)


A Gazan man armed with an ax was killed and another man was injured as they tried to breach the security fence Monday, the military said.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the two men approached the security fence east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, damaged the barrier and tried to enter Israeli territory.

“IDF troops arrived at the scene and opened fire, killing one of the terrorists,” the army said.

“It would seem to me that in a journalistic environment where nine out of ten articles that are written about the Gaza conflict are critical of Israel, you’d think that some journalists would take the time and go and meet with experts and try to understand what could have been done differently or better before they criticize. And I just haven’t seen it,” Friedman said at a media conference in Jerusalem.

Friedman said he had spent a great deal of time speaking to military experts in the US, Israel and other countries about the proper rules of engagement — which he said reporters should have done — and had found that the criticism of Israel was for the most part unfounded.

Total of at least 17,500 dunams – nearly 7 square miles – of land burned as Palestinians repeatedly send airborne incendiary devices across border


Since the first few weeks of Gaza’s “March of Return,” young Palestinians have been flying so-called “incendiary kites” into Israeli territory, setting fire to vast swaths of grasslands, agricultural fields and nature reserves.

More recently, however, a new arson tactic has been gaining popularity along the Gaza border. Instead of kites, a different children’s toy is being flown into Israel: helium balloons.

"First of all, it must be clear that we are unwilling to accept the kite routine, nor riots on the fence, nor attempts to breach the fence and cause damage to works or to sovereign Israeli territory," Liberman said.

"Therefore, we will act accordingly. I just want to emphasize that we will act in accordance with the Israeli interest, at the time and circumstance advantageous to us, when we decide, but in any case I don't customarily leave accounts open and we'll close all accounts with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all the rest of the terrorists acting against us from the Gaza Strip.

"To date, some 600 kites have been launched, of which 400 have been successfully intercepted using technological means. About 200 have reached our territory, causing 198 fires and burning about 9,000 dunams (2,225 acres) of agricultural crops and forest," Liberman said.

Kahlon says 25 claims have been filed, which relate to damage to 5,000 dunams of wheat fields, orchards and irrigation systems.

“In order to make it easier for the farmers to get through this difficult period, we decided today to grant advances of 50% of the estimated cost of damages and the rest will be dealt with as quickly as possible without delays,” Kahlon says.

The interesting element in the above is that ISIS has been slaughtering moslems across Iraq and Syria in the most brutal and inventive ways. They are also very adept at making slickly produced videos documenting the burning, shooting, smooshing, tearing apart, asplodin' etc. of their moslem victims.

At some point, we may see Hamas Cultists starring in ISIS videos. Hamas needs to start sucking up -big time- to israel for protection.

ISIS attacking Hamas is an islamic terrorist vs. Islamic terrorist problem. Aren't folks like you the first to launch into seething rants complaining of Israeli "interference"?

Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (the Jewish National Fund) says it intends to sue the Hamas terrorist organization for environmental damage in the areas near the Gaza strip that have been heavily damaged by repeated arson attacks emanating from the Palestinian territory.

Originally it was announced that today, for Naksa Day, there would be lots of demonstrations near the fence, although reports also say that since this Friday is the last Friday in Ramadan, the Hamas protest organizers are “saving it” for then.

Any instance of these “March of Return” protests (mistakenly described as “peaceful protests” by all sorts of publications such as “Democracy Now” and others, written by people who obviously live in Lala Land … ro wherever… at any rate NOT here in the Gaza Envelope) usually include tire-burning protesters, whipped into a frenzy by their leaders. (Ironically, I hear on the car radio as I am driving, that today is World Environment Day. The black smoke from the tires and the burning fields make it kind of clear that not everyone gives a hoot about that.) Protesters usually try to damage and breach the fence, throwing rocks and molotov cocktails at IDF soldiers, planting booby traps near the fence and even shooting. While the IDF use crowd control methods on the thousands of incited people, desperate and angry about their hopeless lives in Gaza, turning their fury against the fences rather than their leaders who have lead them there, sometimes, when it gets really out of hand with burning tires turning the air thick and black, rubber bullets and even live ammunition are used in order to prevent thousands from breaching the border – because if that were to happen, a massacre would be practically unavoidable. And that’s when protesters get wounded or killed. And that’s when the rockets start again.

At any case, as a person who lives here and travels here, I have to admit that I am just a wee bit concerned about this trip today. I will NOT change my plans (as I sometimes have – when my instincts and reactions to the winds of change have caused me to cancel travelling). Because every time I do that, terror wins. Because THAT is the target of terror. THAT is what the Hamas are trying to do – to make Israelis afraid in our own land.
