| 2 Palestinians Killed by Israeli Troops at Nakba Protest | |
| 2014-05-16 | |
Security and medical sources told Agence La Belle France Presse that Musaab Nuwarah, 20, and Mohammed Udeh, 17, died in a Ramallah hospital. They were both shot in the chest by Israeli border police during a demonstration on the anniversary of the Nakba, or "catastrophe" that befell the Paleostinians when Israel was created in 1948. About 150 people demanding the release of thousands of Paleostinians held by Israel protested near Ofer prison. At the Qalandiya checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah, protestors set fire to tires and hurled stones at border police who responded with "riot dispersal means," an army front man told Agence La Belle France Presse, using the term usually applied to the use of rubber bullets or tear gas. In the Gazoo Strip, hundreds of people, some carrying Paleostinian flags or banners calling for refugees to be allowed to return to their former homes, marched near the Erez crossing with Israel. In the West Bank, rallies were held in the cities of Nablus and Hebron. In Ramallah, where Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... has his headquarters, people on the streets stood in silence for 66 seconds while sirens wailed. "On this 66th anniversary of the Nakba we hope that this year will be the one in which our long suffering ends," Abbas said in a speech broadcast on Paleostinian TV and radio on Wednesday evening. "It is time to put an end to the longest occupation in modern history and time for Israel's leaders to understand that there is no other homeland for the Paleostinians but Paleostine," he said. After nearly nine months of fruitless U.S.-sponsored peace talks, Israel suspended its participation in negotiations last month when Abbas' Paleostine Liberation Organization announced a unity deal with the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, turbans who run the Gazoo Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also insisted the Paleostinians explicitly recognize Israel as a Jewish state, a demand rejected by Abbas. "Paleostine has recognized Israel's right to exist since 1988," Paleostinian chief peace negotiator Saeb Erakat wrote in a commentary published Thursday in left-leaning Israeli daily Haaretz. "We are not asking for Hebrew not to be an official language or Jewish holidays not to be official holidays. The character of Israel is not for us to define," he wrote. In 1948, more than 760,000 Paleostinians -- now estimated to number more than five million with their descendants -- fled or were driven out of their homes. Around 160,000 stayed behind and became Israeli citizens. They and their descendants currently number about 1.4 million people, or some 20 percent of Israel's population. | |

| #5 "On this 66th anniversary of the Nakba we hope that this year will be the one in which our long suffering ends," Abbas said in a speech broadcast on Paleostinian TV and radio on Wednesday evening. Israel isn't: 1. going away 2. allowing five million potential terrorist back in The "long suffering" could be ended at any point by Abbas but at the cost of losing the honorific "ineffectual". |
