| Israel declares Gaza protests 'state of war' |
| 2018-05-05 |
| [PRESSTV] Israel says protests near the Gazoo fence amount to an act of war, and thus it is right to respond fatally to the demonstrations in which 45 Paleostinians have been killed in recent weeks. The daily Ha’aretz cited a regime statement as saying that Tel Aviv sees the ongoing "March of Return" protests as "part of hostile acts by Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, against Israel." The statement came in response to a High Court petition filed by human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... groups, declaring that Israel "opposes the applying of human rights law during an armed conflict." "The Israeli forces’ rules of engagement comply with both Israeli and international law," Ha'aretz quoted the statement as saying. Gazooks have been protesting each Friday at the fence since March 30, demanding the right to return to their homeland. Israel’s Knesset on Monday passed a controversial law that allows the prime minister to bypass parliament and declare war or order a major operation on his own after only consulting his minister for military affairs. |
