Israeli forces kill 28 in Gaza protests as anger mounts over U.S. Embassy
2018-05-14
[Reuters] GAZA BORDER - Israeli forces killed at least 28 Palestinians along the Gaza border on Monday, health officials said, as demonstrators streamed to the frontier on the day the United States prepared to open its embassy in Jerusalem.

It was the highest Palestinian single-day death toll since a series of protests dubbed the "Great March of Return" began at the border with Israel on March 30 and since a 2014 Gaza war.

The health officials said 900 Palestinians were wounded, about 450 of them by live bullets.

Tens of thousands gathered at the frontier on Monday, some of them approaching Israel’s border fence - a line Israeli leaders vowed Palestinians would not be allowed to breach. Black smoke from tyres set alight by demonstrators rose in the air.

#6  Jerusalem will now be focus of Islamic wrath that will lead to the destruction of Mecca.

#5  How much money does each of the 28 families receive for their son's martyrdom?

More important, where does the money come from? I've said for a long time, track the money to its source and make examples of them. Dry up the money, and this will stop.

#3  It's too bad the IDF doesn't use flamethrowers. They really are the best weapon for these sorts of things. I bet the protests would be over in less than a day.

#2  For Palestinians this is a victory. Or would be if the World wasn't busy with other things.
