Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Gaza protests: “One thing people don’t appreciate if they haven’t seen it is that this is not a peaceful demonstration”

Apr 7, 2018 10:51 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

As part of the recent renewed violence in the ongoing jihad against Israel, Palestinians planned to “engulf the Gaza border with smoke and flames from thousands of burning tires….as Israel holds firm to its order to shoot any protesters who come close to the security barrier.” One Palestinian protester “threw a Molotov cocktail at the fence.”

Richard Kemp, a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan came to see the protests. “One thing people don’t appreciate if they haven’t seen it is that this is not a peaceful demonstration,” he said. Despite Hamas’s claims, he said that seeing the clashes close up revealed the reality. “This is a deliberate and specific intent by terrorist organizations to penetrate the state of Israel and kill civilians and the IDF has no option except to use lethal force to stop such a dangerous threat.”

There is no limit to the tactics used in the Palestinian “resistance,” as proponents of Palestinian propaganda like to call it, a false notion that is intended to disguise the jihadi mandate to obliterate Israel.

The propaganda war against Israel has been raging since its 1948 founding, along with immediate and ongoing efforts to destroy it. The cycle continues: Palestinians attack Israel, Israel defends itself, the death tally rises, Israel gets blamed. Never mind that recently Hamas was found to be paying $500 to Muslims in the Gaza border protests to get shot by the IDF, and if they get killed, then $3000 would be awarded to the family. Still, there is no global outcry over such routine practices, nor against Hamas and its global affiliates.

“Reporter’s Notes: Palestinians Burn Tires As Second ‘Great March’ Protest Heats Up,” by Seth J Frantzman, Jerusalem Post, April 6, 2018:

Thousands of Palestinians gathered along the Gaza border on Friday for the second week of protests that they have called the “Great Return March.” Amid warnings from Israel and the US to stay at least 500 meters from the border, Palestinians brought masses of tires to burn to shield their movements from the IDF. According to Gaza’s health ministry, by nightfall seven Palestinians had been killed and at least one thousand injured in the Friday protests and riots.

By ten in the morning, fires and black smoke were already lit and billowing at two places in the northern Gaza Strip near the town of Beit Hanoun. Hundreds of Palestinians could be seen on a road leading to the border, and food trucks and camping equipment festooned the road. Most of the Palestinians appeared to be onlookers. At a berm constructed by the IDF along the border, the army watched the burning tires and Palestinians.

Palestinian media reported that dozens of ambulances had deployed a “field hospital” near Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. In Khan Yunis hundreds of men with tires were filmed. Shehab media’s twitter account claimed a Palestinian was wounded in Jabalia in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Closer to Gaza City the protesters achieved what they wanted around two in the afternoon when the winds shifted slightly and blew the smoke toward IDF positions. The army fired tear gas to keep some of the protesters back who had come closer to the fence. One young man could be seen on a mound of earth near the border waving a Palestinian flag before he was engulfed in the thick fumes. Another man threw a Molotov cocktail at the fence. Stun grenades and sniper fire could be heard. Israeli fire crews were deployed to try to spray water across the fence at the fires. A giant fan was also brought up to blow the smoke away, but neither were effective.

Palestinians on loud speakers chanted religious slogans and someone could be heard using a loudspeaker to give out gas masks and also sell food. The combination of the three symbolized the larger protest movement. Most of the thousands who came appeared to be onlookers, not interested in approaching the fence. In a major difference from last Friday, both the Palestinians and the IDF appeared to hold back. Last Friday 17 were killed.

Richard Kemp, a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan came to see the protests. “One thing people don’t appreciate if they haven’t seen it is that this is not a peaceful demonstration,” he said. Despite Hamas’s claims, he said that seeing the clashes close up revealed the reality. “This is a deliberate and specific intent by terrorist organizations to penetrate the state of Israel and kill civilians and the IDF has no option except to use lethal force to stop such a dangerous threat.”….

    Aside from the from the ecological nightmare these morons want to produce, this could be a good thing for the Israel border guards. The government needs to mass industrial size fans to blow the smoke back to the “Palestinians.” In facit, if you don’t give a damn about poisoning the whole region, it could be a cheap “wall” to discourage or disable illegal entrants.

    The bleeding-heart eco-freaks had better get off their Post-Liberal butts and scream about this stupid human trick.

    Greetings:

    I still get some of my TV news from the France24 English-language broadcasts. In the usual EURO-borg way, its been covering the recent “Palestinian” demonstrations at the Israeli borders.

    Somewhat remarkably, I have not heard a word about either “climate change” or “environmental pollution” in regard to the extensive tire-burnings.

      Muslims and Islam was born to create climate change, pollution, domination and violence.political Islam is dangerous.in my points of view,the Mars planet was burnt and exploded by some sort of violent people who believe in false God Islamic politics religion in order to colonize and dominate others religion,who created violence,war against humans and nature,to such extent of this, despite of the fact, God had given them warning,but those Muslims had never abided to the command of God, there up on , God destroyed the planet in order to annihilate the all people.therefore Muslims love enjoying that type of destruction.

    Even of idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel ,.Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. So those “peace talks” are a hoax. For the “Palestinian”leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocked attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel . For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]

    What’s with these guys and the burning tyres? They’re a sophisticated expensive fairly high-tech manufactured product. Unlike bombs, you can’t build them in the cellar of your local hospital. And they aren’t cheap, in case you haven’t bought any lately. Did our taxes buy them these weapons too?

    • David says

      Apr 8, 2018 at 9:27 am

      elee, did you consider that these may be worn out tyres? They are a problem to dispose of normally. Burning them is of course a bad idea, environmentally. Could the Palestinians care about that?

    dear delightful Palestinians, You and I KNOW that you are peaceful. In order to
    prove your noble allah-driven PEACEFULNESS—–why not line your Imams up
    between yourselves and the border fence? By so doing you can PROVE that
    you are not hurling missiles or creating noxious burning rubber fumes as some
    Islamophobic bastard jews CLAIM GOOD IDEA??

    Maybe Israel should stop selling car tires to those who want to burn them so they won’t have to invest in gigantic fans for the next “peaceful protest”.

      Where did all those tires come from? The media keeps showing us an absolutely false image of poverty and animal-drawn carts of the typical “Palestinian” and telling us they live in an occupied prison . Go to the google maps street view in the West Bank – cars everywhere, just as in France and Germany. Even the rock-throwing teen-age thugs seem to have modern threads, unlike the poorer areas of Africa.

      Maybe there is a two-tier economy maintained by corrupt “Palestinian” leaders? Maybe avoiding a peace with Israel gives them special perks? Maybe intifada’s and demonstrations are now staying-in-business ventures?

    Do you know this? http://matzav.com/swiss-parliament-expected-to-vote-on-proposed-hamas-ban/

    The result of the vote on March 15, 2018: 71 voted yes and 110 voted NO, 10 abstained! – Our foreign minister (Federal Council), Ignazio Cassis, thinks this is correct as Switzerland had to stay “neutral”. They want to go on with the “critical discussions” with Hamas. A**-kissing? Yes. We are Swiss and live in Switzerland. We are angry and ashamed. Hamas IS a terrorist organisation!

    Why aren’t Greenpiece, Open Borders, Tides Canada and Dogwood Initiative as well as enviro-terrorists world wide attacking the Palestinians for such horrible pollution. All the above should be donating to Israel to help defend themselves against these Muslim attacks.

    I am not Jewish, but my heart is always with Israel because that beautiful country is in the midst of muslim barbarism and is a first line of defense for the world. I am not surprised that the main stream media as well as the leftist media are sympathetic to these muslims barbarians. I attribute that to covert antisemitism as well as hatred of Jews among commies as Jews have been very successful capitalists. The only solution to the Palestinian and muslim problem is the one that Israel is demonstrating right now. We must learn from Israel and completely contain islamic infilration.

    Unfortunately the UN and all their western puppets will not see it for what it is.

    Read our canadian newpapers and see who the victims are, and unfortunately again the majority are being programmed.
