The Haaretz article says “Friday’s attempt to breach fence was most violent yet”.
That implies the attempted breach was the most violent yet on the part of the Palestinians. Or it is poor English and they meant the response was the most violent yet?
Either way, an attempt to breach the fence is not exactly peaceful. October 7 was a breach.
I acknowledge that certainly is a disturbing number of injuries. Did they all happen in the space of a few minutes before people could retreat? Or were they refusing to retreat and pressing on?
they had tried the peaceful option
Hamas and PIJ were viloently trying to thwart the Oslo peace process.
And I thought the very reason Likud became more right wing was because the suicide and missiles attacks were happening even after the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, perhaps even emboldened by the withdrawal.
Gaza remained under siege
Because of the attacks and the need to prevent rearmament.
It is delusional to think Jews will withdraw from the Levant regardless of whether we think they should be there in the first place. Egging Hamas on is therefore irresponsible IMO.
Regardless, the expansion into the West Bank has me concerned. I have no opinion on how to curb that at this point apart from the hope of a turnaround in the October Israeli election.
The “violence” of the march was sporadic and low level, not organized. Do the French police open fire on protesters because one threw a Molotov cocktail? In fact, that’s beside the point, as the IDF used live ammunition immediately, not in response to violence on the Palestinian side.
If your country becomes more fascist because the people you’re oppressing refuse to just lie down and take it, that’s on you. That’s the basic ethnic supremacist logic of the Israeli project at play.
In fact, I don’t think the Israelis are as attached to their alleged “homeland” as you think. Many of them will leave when it becomes a free Palestine, because they will not want to live in a state with Palestinians as equal citizens. Same as white South Africans.
Am happy to discuss at this level.
