Close to ten thousand Muslims are rioting, throwing projectiles, rocks, attacking Israeli Defense forces in multiple locations along the security border fence with Gaza, with thousands more streaming to the tent camps.
They are rioting for “right to return”. In other words, the destruction of Israel.
UPDATE: Dozens of Muslim terrorists attempted to breach the border fence with Gaza, were shot by IDF forces securing the border. Injuries reported.
Caroline Glick wrote if this impending propaganda stunt here:
On Friday, the Palestinian terror group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, is inaugurating what it is calling “The March of Return.”According to Hamas’s leadership, the “March of Return” is scheduled to run from March 30 – the eve of Passover — through May 15, the 70th anniversary of Israel’s establishment. According to Israeli media reports, Hamas has budgeted $10 million for the operation.Throughout the “March of Return,” Hamas intends to send thousands of civilians to the Israeli border. Hamas is planning to set up tent camps along the border fence and then, presumably, order participants to overrun it on May 15. The Palestinians refer to May 15 as “Nakba,” or Catastrophe Day.The first question that observers of this spectacle need to ask themselves is whether Hamas believes that it will be able to overrun Israel.The obvious answer is, of course it doesn’t.So this brings us to the second question.If Hamas doesn’t expect its civilians to overrun Israel, what is it trying to accomplish by sending them into harm’s way? Why it the terror group telling Gaza residents to place themselves in front of the border fence and challenge Israeli security forces charged with defending Israel?The answer here is also obvious. Hamas intends to provoke Israel to shoot at the Palestinian civilians it is sending to the border. It is setting its people up to die because it expects their deaths to be captured live by the cameras of the Western media, which will be on hand to watch the spectacle.In other words, Hamas’s strategy of harming Israel by forcing its soldiers to kill Palestinians is predicated on its certainty that the Western media will act as its partner and ensure the success of its lethal propaganda stunt.
