Hamas wants war with Israel. If it isn’t now, it will come later.
“Hamas to Swarm Israel’s Border, Sparking Fear of New ‘Passover War,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, March 29, 2018:
The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas is planning a mass demonstration along Israel’s border on Friday, prompting fears of a new war with the Jewish state ahead of the Passover holiday, according to regional experts and U.S. officials who say they are closely monitoring the situation.
On the heels of a recent military exercise that observers described as “unprecedented,” Hamas leaders have called for some 100,000 Gaza Strip resident [sic] to engage in six weeks of mass demonstrations along the Israeli border as Jewish families gear up for the Passover holiday, which begins Friday evening.
Regional experts closely tracking the situation say the demonstrations are meant as cover for a mass military campaign to swarm Israel’s border and stoke violence against the Jewish state.
The situation is being closely monitored by Trump administration officials, who outlined concerns that Hamas could use civilian protesters as human shields as cover for attacks on Israeli forces.
Tension are high ahead of the mass demonstration, dubbed the Great Return March, with the United Nations already imploring Israel to not attack children or other civilians.
Officials with the U.N. Relief Works Agency, or UNRWA, a body routinely cited for its anti-Israel bias, have already endorsed the demonstrations, stoking further concerns the U.N. is setting the stage to blame Israel for any violence that could erupt. UNRWA has offered medical facilities to any Palestinian who may be injured during the weeks of protest.
State Department officials told the Washington Free Beacon that they are aware of the upcoming protests and will be tracking the situation closely.
“We are aware of calls by Hamas asking people to march along the Israeli border over the coming weeks,” one U.S. official told the Free Beacon.” We will monitor the situation and developments closely.”
The State Department emphasized that it still considers Hamas a terror group and is aware of its routine use of human shields during terror operations.
“Our position on Hamas has not changed,” the official said. “It is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Any use of human shields is absolutely unacceptable.”
Omri Ceren, a managing director at The Israel Project, a D.C.-based organization that works on Middle East issues, warned that Hamas is using civilian protests as cover for a massive military operation that could launch another regional war.
Evidence suggests Hamas has already prepared to flood Israel with armed assets during the demonstration and has even positioned equipment such as tractors to shift the ground and erect fortifications.
“Hamas is trying to trigger a Passover War and the U.N. seems eager to help them,” Ceren said. “Hamas is preparing thousands of civilians to rush Israel’s border, tear down the defensive fence, and provide cover as Hamas fighters flood into Israel.”
While Israeli military officials have planned to use as little force as possible to control any violent eruption, things could get out of hand quickly, Ceren said.
“The Israelis will do everything possible to prevent escalation and avoid casualties, but this is the kind of thing that could go really bad really quickly,” he explained.
“Meanwhile the U.N. is supporting Hamas and setting up Israel to get blamed for anything that happens to Hamas’s human shields,” Ceren said. “American lawmakers were already inclined to view the U.N. as biased and unhelpful when it comes to Israel and this can cement that view.”…
Observers have been warning that Hamas is not seeking a peaceful protest, but a military campaign in the guise of civilian demonstration….
Sentinel says
Wouldn’t they like to repeat this at all border fences – in Europe and the USA ?
It would be foolish to back down and not defend the borders. I can’t help feel that this is part of the UN’s openly avowed intention to smash down all borders.
A good reason to stop funding the UN.
Westman says
And send it to Brussels where delegates can have first hand experience in Molenbeek. There, the OIC would be busy explaining how the local Muslims were “not really Muslims”.
Georg says
“And send it to Brussels…”
The Eurocrats already had to shut down the barracks… ehem… mosque downtown as the ROP had come to be seen as too close for polite company.
David Veenbaas says
Hamas is a terrorist organization. Crush them.

Very disturbing, Andy. And, of course, the invading Muslims will blame Israel–and many idiots will believe them.
Andy says
Hi gravenimage What you said is correct. (As usual)
I don’t know if you have seen this story?
Where is the international outrage?

Thanks for the link to that article in the JPost, Andy. Important piece–and important questions.

Looks like this would be a quick way to rid the world of 100,000
Hamas terrorist in one group. If Israel has had a little help…well maybe they wouldn’t need that help after all.
Gail says
Get the Serbs involved.
Gail says
The U.N. nation s like the Brits, French, Fijiians, Dutch and other nations should send troops to show monetering along the border. It would be the U.N. against the UN. Hamas sent a 7 year girl out front as a lead demonstrator. IDF returned her to her parents. They should have kept her and given her ice cream. That’ll show them!
Gea says
Amen! Israel should spray tehm with skunk juice if they try to cross the border and/or turn violent…That will give those guys something to do for a few weeks to get the smell out…
D-spot says
The UN wants the Israelies to not target women and children….Really!!! They have nothing to say about the muslim horde attacking Israel, Jewish people all over the world and using human shields of women and children. What an excuse for an overpaid group of non-entities who apparently think it’s OK to rape and terrorise. I may be wrong, but don’t seem to remember much in the way of the UN appealing to muslims to cease and desist from following their prophet’s mysogenistic, paedophile, etc.etc. ways.
wm1 says
If IDF slaughter women and children because they were used as human shields, their blood will be on Hamas’ hands. Israel has to do whatever it has to do to protect themselves and the land God gave them. Period.
gravenimage says
Israel never targets women and children or any other civilians.
Phil Copson says
Now he’s got the job, it’ll be a character-test for Bolton. Can he and Haley get Trump to cut funding further to the PA and UN for every week the protests last and every casualty they create ?
The savings would help fund the latest spending package, or pay for a section of wall – South or North…
Terry Gain says
Bolton has a spine of steel. And he’s very knowledgeable and smart. My misgivings about Trump after he appointed McMaster and Tillerson have been allayed.

Trump has already started cutting funding to the Fakestinians:

Trump cut UN funding by 50% today. That’s a good start !

I can’t believe how the U.N keeps pointing the finger at Israel, as in, ‘Don’t you act mean, “Israel”…. while ignoring the murderous plans of Extremist?!?!?!?! The U.N.really is upside down. DISGUSTING!!!!!
Terry Gain says
The UN is inverted as much as average liberal.
Terry Gain says
The 6 liberal Jewish groups who oppose John Bolton’s appointment could not be reached for comment.
WPM says
Many be the communist current Pope can wash the feet of the protestors !
Adam says
I hope hamas does and I hope Israel crushes them and I also hope US arms makers make a good profit.
That’s the kind of hope and change I’m talking about.

Hamas calls for 100,000 Muslims from Gaza to demonstrate along Israeli border
………………..
“Demonstrate”, huh? Somehow, I don’t think this is the word they are looking for…
sidney penny says
Where is Hamas getting their arms and money from
?
Terry Gain says
Hamas finding? Likely from Obama via Iran.
sidney penny says
Why are we funding the UN when the OIC (and many rich ones at that) are not pulling their weight?
Especially when the UN instead of attaching Hamas for the provocation is attacking Israel for any response.
UN is blaming the victim when the UN should blame the perpetrator.
Georg says
The UN condemns Israel for tomorrow’s Hamas attack just as Muslims in the West fear backlash from next month’s terror attack. We’re not biting.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Georg.
Older Canadian says
I can’t believe the hate the UN has for Israel, which is evident in their apathy towards jews period.
I can’t believe they would threaten to do this over passover, and the UN will sit and watch.
If this happens, and feel it well, I hope Karma justice, if it actually exists is needed now, for all who is complacent with this.
Halal Bacon says

Georg says
“…the demonstrations are meant as cover for a mass military campaign to swarm Israel’s border and stoke violence against the Jewish state.”
And accomplish what, exactly? I’ve always felt humanity’s strongest foe is stupidity as it undergirds all the idiotic crap on top (ie Islam, slavery, you name it). Guess the world will have to witness this March for Stupidity where the rational Israelis are blamed for taking exception with crazed bigotry.
gravenimage says
It’s intended to make Israel look bad to those who aren’t paying attention, and–if possible–to murder some Jews along the way.
Jack Holan says
Israel must ignore the UN that would love to see her replaced with a Despotic Regime and 58th Muslim Country. The IDF must engage with total unforgiving force to set the precedent of any testing of the International borders.
brane pilot says
For decades, Palestinians have been breeding like rabbits to produce enough Holy Warriors to demographically swamp Israel. Unfortunately, Israel has a border that it enforces and the effect has only been gross overpopulation and environmental collapse of Palestinian areas.
Hamas figures it is time to use all those holy warriors for their intended purpose. To invade Israel as a human Tsunami on its border. This is their end-game. With the collapse of US Funding of Palestinian’s forced-breeding campaign, and no other fools/donors in sight, they have no choice.
Baucent says
With no armoured vehicles or air force, I can’t see Hamas trying an invasion into Israel. However they may well have been busy digging more tunnels over the last few years and some sort of terror attack behind the border could occur, as well as launch more of their unguided missles. Israel’s growing problem is the Arab citizens who live within Israel and are becoming a “5th column” for future conflicts. Already about 20% of the population I believe. A mistake in 1967 was not deporting them to Jordan, the real “Palestinian State.”
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Then the brutal zionist respond with mass killings of palestinians, including children, and apartheid evil united states applauds the action saying fascist evil zionist state has right to defend itself against defenceless.
Buraq says
@ Ibe tace Muhamed
Defenceless?! Hamas and the so-called Palestinians?
Hey, Habibi, you forgot about the 8,000 rockets they fired into Israel aimed at civilian centers, they Israelis they murdered in cold blood and the soldiers they kidnapped. Do try to keep up!
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Buraq, who informed you that these protesters Will be carrying rockets ? Not long ago you wicked people were supporting idiots protesting against Iran. Is that not double standard from you supporters of fascist evîl zionist state of Israel ?
gravenimage says
Ibrahim itace muhammed has said before that Israel has no right to protect her borders.
And no–supporting peaceful protesters in Iran is entirely different from supporting a violent invasion of Israel.
WPM says
The ” defenceless ” defenseless do not lob missiles into heavy populated cities from there territory into Israel ,they do not sneak into Israel and butcher families in there sleep. The do have their Imams give sermons that Jews and Christians are the worst of creatures. That all Jew should be killed not just in Israel but in all the world. You should be happy that America is finally cutting off money to your little Tin pot rulers of your fake state Fakenstine .Hamas wants to crash the border I am sure the will throwing rocks ,hand bombs ,arm with AK 47s ,car loaded IED putting their children in front as human shields ,they hate Israel more then they love their own children.
Just a side note do you have spell check on the computer in your mom,s basement you demented hipster?? defenceless ??

Israel needs to get the skunk odor spray ready to tag the terrorists. The odor lingers for many days.
Wellington says
This serves an an opportune time for both the US and Israel to withdraw from the UN (or, at the very least, withdraw their Ambassadors to the UN indefinitely).
If not now, when? If not ever, why?
The UN is worse than useless. It is an apologist for orchestrated terror and, let’s face it, really, really doesn’t like borders (rather like the EU). Time for the UN to become a relic. A great first step aiding this would be America and Israel leaving this decrepit organization. Perhaps other brave nations would follow. There are just some things the world be better off without. Islam is one of them. The UN and EU are two others.
WPM says
Kick the UN headquarters out of NYC put them with EU in Europe , or better yet in some Islamic country in the Middle East .
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington and WPM.
