Are “Palestinians” finally getting tired of the constant haranguing to hatred and genocide of the Jews? Are they weary of the constant incitement to violence, the constant vilifying of the Jews, the constant fabrication of Israeli “atrocities”? Unlikely, but this is good to see.
“Hamas says disappointed by low turnout for Gaza border protest,” Israel Hayom, April 1, 2018:
Senior Hamas members are reportedly disappointed with the comparatively low number of 30,000 protesters who participated in this weekend’s protests in Gaza, the first of a series of events expected to culminate in the “March of Return” on Nakba Day on May 15. Hamas reportedly expected some 100,000 demonstrators to turn out for Friday’s event.
Nakba Day commemorates the displacement of Palestinian refugees during Israel’s War of Independence, known in Arabic as the “Nakba” (“catastrophe”).
Gaza’s rulers were also said to be disappointed by the fact that a day after Friday’s march, only a few hundred protesters remained from the tens of thousands who had gathered at six predetermined meeting points along the Gaza border from Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip to Jabaliya in the north.
Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that 17 people were killed and another 1,400 wounded in Friday’s border clashes.
However, Hamas is taking encouragement from the fact that Friday’s march, which was intended to serve as a dress rehearsal for the Nakba Day march, was a relative success.
“There is some disappointment at the low turnout … we expected at least three times as many participants,” a Hamas official told Israel Hayom.
The official said that Hamas was optimistic about the upcoming protests.
“If 30,000 showed up for the first event, a quarter million to a half million [people] at least will come to the Nakba Day march. We are very optimistic about what is to come. The residents of Gaza have proven that they are willing to sacrifice and pay for their freedom in blood.”
In response to the numbers of dead and wounded, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas declared Saturday a national day of mourning and a general strike in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Hamas, meanwhile, condemned Abbas for ordering his security forces to prevent protesters from marching in solidarity in the West Bank.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a statement, “Abbas did too little, too late. If he wants to help Gaza and unite the Palestinian people, he must cancel the sanctions on Gaza immediately.”
Several Arab nations, including Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, issued condemnations of Israel over Friday’s events along the border.
The Arab League announced it would convene an emergency conference over recent events. Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit called Israeli policy on the Gaza border “barbaric and criminal” and said the international community must condemn it.
Hamas marketed Friday’s march as a part of a nonviolent popular struggle. Hamas-affiliated TV stations showed images of tens of thousands of protesters being bused to the meeting points, stressing that most of the marchers were families, women, and children.
Hamas senior military leader Yahya Sinwar – who rarely makes public appearances – responded to the IDF’s criticism that senior Hamas officials rarely send their own families to protest at the border by presenting his wife and some of his children to the crowd and saying, “Today, we are presenting the Zionist enemy with a new equation. We are prepared to pay the price.”
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said that “Land Day expresses the Palestinian people’s solidarity with the Arabs of 1948 on the land of occupied Palestine. The [Palestinian] right of return is a national interest and no one in a position of authority will forgo it. The Zionists said the right of return will be forgotten, but the massive crowd proves that it has the homeland in its blood.”
Haniyeh criticized the PA and Arab states for “abandoning the [Palestinian] issue for the sake of normalization with the Zionist occupation, despite the Trump administration giving Jerusalem to the occupation. What right did he have? Palestine comes before everything.”
As Friday’s march was underway, Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai and IDF Spokesman in Arabic Maj. Avichay Adraee published social media posts that showed Hamas exploiting children by sending them to the border fence to clash with soldiers.
“Hamas sent a 7-year-old girl from Gaza to the Israeli border. IDF soldiers returned her to her family. Hamas apparently isn’t familiar with the famous hadith that tells of a 14-year-old boy whom the Prophet Muhammad forbade from fighting in war because of his age. There is no greater shame than using children for war, and every Muslim with a heart and a mind who knows the hadith rejects that. Recruiting children is a disgrace,” Mordechai and Adraee wrote.
Adraee also tweeted, “The terrorist organization Hamas ignores the rights of women and children and sends them to the fence to achieve the group’s terrorist goals while evading responsibility for their lives and welfare.”…
Hari Singh says
The bigoted nature of the Terrorist Hamas called for invasion of Israel is quite clear. Just as they cancelled Bethlehem’s Christmas celebrations ,they now invade during the Easter-Passover holidays.
The Israelis are justly meeting this invasion strongly in contrast to the gutless West Europeans. The demographic Jihad tactic has been openly declared by Muslim leaders. They believe the world has been given to Muslims, good thing Israelis didn’t get the memo.

HELLO PRCS — A solid +10.
Superb & remarkable brief moments TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HATERS OF ISRAEL AND PALESTINIAN HISTORICAL REALITY.
I just sent an email to Robert — letting him know of the video’s placement in the comment stream.
Billy Chickens says
Hmm..maybe they decided that they didn’t want to be killed. Maybe they got tired of “peaceful” rock throwing as battle weapons against guns. Maybe they got tired of being guinea pigs for Hamas.
However, I think the biggest “maybe” is that they were shocked (can Muslims be shocked? It’s debatable…but anyway…) by Hamas sending a little girl – 7 year old child – whom Hamas hoped would be killed by Israeli soldiers so they could say that Israel killed a 7 year old girl during the “peaceful” demonstration.
Hamas is stupid. Israel is too smart to fall for that.
jihad3tracker says
HELLO JAY — Yes, “caravan of Leftist reporters” also perfectly describes coverage of the Gaza riots by CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS.
THERE IS NEVER ANY PUSHBACK BY TRUTHTELLERS — THAT HAMAS’S ONLY REASON FOR THIS WAS TO GET “PALESTINIANS” KILLED.
It knows that biased Israel-haters in mainstream media will ALWAYS SIDE with Muslims who pray for annihilation of the Jewish State.

It’s not just money–it is also denial and “political correctness”.
Shmoovie says
From 30,000 to one half million certainly is “optimistic”.
They must have plans to load hundreds more buses with thousands more children. Little ‘soldiers’ equally ready and willing to shed their blood for the cause (surely).
The European says
Muslim fighting tactics are so disgusting and so dishonest. There is always a large crowd of protesters consisting of women, children, families, but hiding among them you’ll find violent Muslims throwing bombs and grenades and firing guns at Israeli soldiers. But when the Israelis return fire in self-defense, killing involuntarily civilians who are used as human shields by these Cowards from Hamas, there will be an indignant outcry: “barbaric, criminal, violation of human rights and the whole stuff…” These Muslim scoundrels who have no qualms about sending unarmed women and children to death, still have the impudence of accusing us of immoral and barbaric behaviour.

So true.

Those palestinians Who refused to participate in the protest for fear of being kiłled by fascist evil zionists must idiots. What is the use of their lives being caged like birds. They should challenge the oppressors no matter the consequence,learning lesson from Lebanese Who forced fascist evil zionists out of their land

“….kiłled by fascist evil zionists must idiots….”
– You forgot: Nazis, racists, Islamophobes! Sloppy, very sloppy.
“…Lebanese Who forced fascist evil zionists out of their land….”

Feel free to move yourself and family over to Gaza and lead from the front, Ibrahim.
Or at least your wife (plural?) and kid(s) can be in the front, with you right behind them throwing the rocks.

Ludicrous–this is nothing but projection. Ibrahim itace muhammed has said that he wants to see civilized Israel destroyed, and that he personally looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews.

itace, -51 ole boy. You should be tied under a sick camel.
Baucent says
Mate you should go to Hongkong and see what “caged birds” can do with a small area of land with hard work, resourcefulness and energy. Gaza was a productive agricultural area under Israeli management. The Palestinians when given the land trashed the development and now sit on their backsides waiting for handouts from the EU.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Exactly the case. Since ‘Palestinian’ is just a handy propaganda slogan, when Israel let the muslims have Gaza back it just became the new front line in the war against Jews.
gravenimage says
True, Baucent.
Karen says
Hamas has this one play in their play book. Go to the border, start throwing rocks, etc., and send the children to their deaths. People are sick of it.
Rarely says
It is getting a bit repetitive isn’t it? Maybe the populace feels they have better things to do than the will of these thugs. I expect them to force people out for the big day.
One day the press may get bored writing the same old story every time Hamas goes into their crybaby routine. Tens of thousands are dying in Syria, Iraq and Yemen from war and famine (maybe even pestilence too — if I knew what that was) and they are whining because Israel won’t let them in or allow them to import the instruments of war. Difficult to hold their people’s attention.
I just hope they don’t do something really dramatic in an attempt to get the World’s attention…again.

Extremely unlikely.
Being a pawn/martyr is drilled into the “Palestinians” from the day they are born.
The chance of the “Palestinians” becoming self-aware to the point of realizing they’re being used just isn’t going to happen anytime soon…
Baucent says

AleX says
After disrupting the Christian’s Easter celebrations and the Jewish Passover, the parasitic fakelestinian ticks want to be an annoyance for the next 5 weeks in hopes they could extract more sympathy from the gullible, uninformed jeehadi liberal lovers in the West.
Only they don’t realise their belly-aching whining is long compromised and mostly nobody cares about their ’cause’ anymore. By repetition of same disingenuous victimhood for decades, the fakelestinians have somehow immunized the West and the liberal cohorts of the ‘solidarity’ disease.
The revoking of funding should continue until either the fakelestinians move back to Trans Jordan or they change course and assimilate into Egypt.

……………..
What a bunch of losers!
don vito says
I saw the same tactic in a video from Dearborn Mich. A group of christians ( some arab I recall) wanted to partisipate in an arab community celebration. On public land arab moslems surrouned the nonmoslem group, yelling, jeering, and letting the younger members of the moslem gang throw water botttles and other things at the nonviolent christian group. Many christians were injured, the older moslems were ready to pounce on the christians, if the christians tried to protect themselves. Police forced the christians to leave public property or be arrested for disturbing the peace. Eventually this christian group won a courtcase against the city of Dearborn for violating their constitutional rights. The similarity between hamas getting women and children into the danger zone at the gaza border, and the moslem gangs letting the young members of their gang do the violent throwing are striking.
gravenimage says
Yes, don–this was an appalling case in Dearborn.
There’s a video here:

What’s really revealed in this Dearborn film is how the ego-swelled little rugrats are allowed to act like they’re big boys on the front lines. The Christian men won’t seriously attack them back and if they did the vicious adult swarm would suddenly wake from its “hands off policy” and descend upon them with fury.
The megaphone may admittedly have been a provocation but once it was set aside then tolerance would surely be what was expected from the muslim crowd. It didn’t happen and their spirit and what is going on in the upbringing of their children is now well captured.
Unbeliever1 says
I guess they want the crowds to be dense enough to present more targets.They are disappointed that there aren’t more deaths among Palestinians.
Carol (the 1st) says
Whether by accident or not, the news article certainly seems to show this apathy.

March of return?
To Israel?What islamic nonsense is this?
But..but ..it was given to the Jews.What the hell do the Palestinians think they are doing?

Hey ibraham :why dont you go over to the fence in gaza and get yourself killed by the idf you coward.you want the little kids to die for your jihad!
wm1 says
Apparently, many ‘Palestinians’ (a FAKE name for a FAKE people) are wising up and would rather not deliberately march to their own deaths at the hands of people who, otherwise, treat them better than their own brethren: Muslims (throughout the Middle East) who abandon them to suffer as clueless and unwitting, political tools in the hands of a wretched, evil ideology.
Carol (the 1st) says
It just points out that the adults are on the Jewish side of the fence.
