Reality is, we can register our disgust of Isreal's bullyism, but we can't do anything. There are a few countries including Turkey and France who are speaking against this move. This is fresh, but I expect much more happenings in the weeks and months ahead.
Again, I blame Mahmoud Abbas for not taking a tougher position with Isreal before this happens. He was bought and sold for American $$.
Come on now fellow. What do you think would happen if thousands of Mexicans try to invade the US carrying weapons etc? You are only telling half the story.
By late in the evening, 58 Palestinians, including several teenagers, had been killed and more than 1,350 wounded by gun fire, the Health Ministry said. Israeli soldiers and snipers used barrages of tear gas as well as live gunfire to keep protesters from entering Israeli territory.
The Israeli military said that some in the crowds were planting or hurling explosives, and that many were flying flaming kites into Israel; at least one kite outside the Nahal Oz kibbutz, near Gaza City, ignited a wildfire.
By midafternoon, the protest nearest to Gaza City had turned into a pitched battle — a chaotic panorama of smoke, sirens and tear gas that stretched along the fence. Emergency workers with stretchers carried off a stream of injured protesters, many with leg wounds but some having been shot in the abdomen. A number were teenagers.
