15 may demo Erez crossing

Nakba Day. The day of the Catastrophe. A day to mark the ethnic cleansing of 800,000 Palestinians from their homes. A day to remind themselves and the world, that one day, they will return to their homes, that they have not forgotten their land. Today marked 63 years of dispossession, 63 years of ethnic cleansing. Thousands of Palestinians marched north from Beit Hanoun to the wall; thousands of Palestinians marched toward their homes.

As we approached the wall the Israeli army barked out its hello. A tank began to fire over the crowd and into the sand dunes lining the road. The Israeli bulldozers had already thoroughly destroyed anything that was once on this land, outside of threatening the crowd there was nothing to accomplish by this shooting. It is a strange thing to be fired at with a cannon from a tank; you can almost feel the air shake when the shell explodes. The crowd did not stop, it continued forward, chanting against the occupation, chanting their love of their land.

Soon the stream of wounded began. From the front of the crowd men and boys carried by their friends, by whoever was standing near them when they were shot. They came in a steady stream; you could hear the tak tak tak of the Israeli rifles echo against the calm sky. In the West Bank, the soldiers are usually stationed on a hill, first comes the tear gas, and then come the bullets, usually rubber at first, later the live ammunition. In Gaza there are no pretenses, first the tanks fire their cannons, then the soldiers safe in their concrete tower start to shoot live ammunition into the crowd.
Saber says: "On the tower in front of us there is a sniper, he does not miss a shot fired: every bullet achieves exactly the target. The tower on the left is fitted with a remote control machine that shoots projectiles with a caliber much bigger, those are illegal under international law."
According to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, one 18 year old boy is dead and the total number of wounded is 105, including 31 children, three women and three journalists. The injured were taken to three different hospitals in the Gaza strip, and incredibly, some of those with minor injuries returned to the demonstration after being treated at the hospital. Others preferred to stay at the demonstration rather than be taken to the hospital; for example a man with a wounded leg, his trousers torn and stained with blood, tied a flag around his bleeding leg and continued demonstrating.

Beyond the fact that no country on earth would allow Jihadist supporters who are devoted to the destruction of the state,to cross its borders and throw stones at their sons and brothers,this islamic terrorists were armed and were firing on Israeli civilians and soldiers

Забор безопасности спасает жизни. Каждый, кто против его строительства объективно помогает террору. Жаль эту молодежь. С промытыми левой пропагандой мозгами ониделают то, за что им будет нестерпимо стыдно в будущем. Террористы грамотно используют романтические порывы, свойственные возрасту, точно так же, как у террористов-смертников. Эти видеоролики - хорошее разоблачение деятельности левых и объективно работают на государство Израиль. Тот, кто их выложил, явно просчитался.

This is terrorism. These people are unarmed. All they would do is shout and shake the fence and maybe throw stones. Certainly they are not in any way a deadly threat to armed soldiers.

And Israel displaced around a million people in 1948 and 1967. These people have the damn right to protest.

The US, to its shame never gives a shit about this open terrorism by a state that only pretends (ridiculously) to believe in law or equal peace.

These people are treated like animals and nothing changes

[alio122000]

See world, Israel shooting at people who are simply voicing their opinion with no violence is still considered terrorism in Israels eyes. Israel is a fraud.
