Gaza Riots: Really About the Embassy?
The Gatestone Institute ^ | May 18, 2018 | Bassam Tawil

Throughout history, the excuses to attack Israel keep changing.

For 8 years under the Obama administration, the Palestinians had portrayed themselves, and been treated as, the deserving underdog -- the "good guys." Now, a foreign government is actually holding the Palestinians accountable and calling them out for activities they had taken for granted, such as incitement to riot and murder, or funding terrorists and their families. The Palestinians do not like it one bit.

The Palestinians hate the Trump administration not because of the decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, but because it speaks truth to them and exposes their perfidy and malice. They hate the Trump administration because they see it as an obstacle on their way to eliminating Israel.

What happened at the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip was an act of aggression by Hamas on Israeli sovereignty. It was an act of war. Even the terrorists did not say that they were protesting the embassy relocation. The terrorists and the rest of the Palestinian demonstrators were chanting "Death to Israel" and "Death to America." They were chanting that their goal is to replace Israel with an Islamic state.

Do the Arabs Muslims need a serious excuse for yet another “Day of Rage”? They are all in a state of “Perma-rage” and now as Ramadan is here, they are even more enraged by...you name it.

When these people pull their collective heads out of their rear ends (perhaps another 200 years) and see that they can advance themselves, then the world will be a safe place but until then, watch out folks.

An interesting possibility. No Democrats were at the ceremony. Was there any Democrat involvement in the Hamas intended invasion? Did any of them know this was going to happen? If so, when did they know and were they responsible in organizing or funding the act of war?

They started four months ago, the objective then and now, return. Hamas said nothing about the Embassy. They have said the assault on Israel's borders to facilitate said return will continue, but Egypt spanked Hamas, so things have toned down. They're giving Sunnis a bad name.
