Cry-Baby Israel | | Vacy Vlazna - Countercurrents - srael, one of the most technologically
advanced military superpowers, is making a colossal fool of itself on
the global stage by crying Wolf – ‘We have the right to defend
ourselves from – from ?- hold onto your hats, folks, from – Kites,
Balloons, Stones, Cameras, a Slap, a Poem. Seriously? Damn Right.
These aren’t just any kites, balloons, stones, cameras, slap, poem.
These are terror toys of Palestinian mass defiance and of monster
maquisards, mainly teenagers and youth, that strike fear and panic in
the mighty Israeli armed forces. Oy Vey! Oy Vey!-rh | 27/6/2018 |

Gaza border communities lead Ministers Bennett and Erdan to demand

The justifications given for the deaths of Palestinian protesters just don`t add up | | Muhammad Shehada and Jamie Stern-Weiner - Vice (UK) - The
Government of Israel claims that the Gaza demonstrations have
featured "violent mass incidents", that were "exceptional in their scope and the extent of threat they posed". These violent incidents allegedly included the firing of live ammunition at Israeli soldiers. In fact, credible observers report
that, while a minority of demonstrators did throw stones and flaming
bottles toward out-of-reach Israeli soldiers, the demonstrations
"have largely involved sit-ins, concerts, sports games, speeches and
other peaceful activities". An American journalist in Gaza found
that, even among those demonstrators who approached the fence, "[t]here were no guns, no grenades, no rockets". Amnesty
International informed us that, as of the 8th of June, it had "not
seen evidence of the use of firearms by Palestinians against Israeli
soldiers during the protests". This would explain why Israeli
soldiers felt able to stand around in plain sight of the protesters
while taking pot-shots into the crowd. [ak]
