Cry-Baby IsraelVacy 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!-rh27/6/2018

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] 12/6/2018
