IDF concerned as Gazans establish tent cities on Israeli border

Hundreds of tents are to be erected near the Gaza-Israel border for a six-week protest, officials said Thursday, in what may stir fresh tensions with Israeli forces.

Gaza families are to set up hundreds of tents -- possibly thousands - for the protests running from March 30 to May 15, organizers said.

Protesters plan to call for the granting of a right of return for millions of so-called “Palestinian refugees” across the Middle East.

Organizers said the families could stay in the tents for prolonged periods, with youth and community activities planned.

The demonstration has the backing of all political factions in the Gaza Strip, including the terrorist group Hamas, which rules the Strip.

Israeli media said the army viewed the event as a potential security threat, while authorities were concerned over how to respond if violence erupted with women and children among the protesters.

The protests will coincide with Israel Independence Day – a date mourned by Palestinian Arab opponents of the Jewish state as the “Nakba”, or day of “Disaster”.

Hamas has denied it initiated the tent protest.

We might have tent cities protesting on the Mexico border. That is if we had a border.

No, I think that Hamas is taking a page from our California squatter cities. Any disruption of these poor communities is the intersectional combo of racism (they're Arab), anti-immigrant, capitalist, and anti-Muslim. And, yes, they provide cover for weapons smuggling and infantry quartering under the tents, as well as tunnel camouflage.

Will Israel be expected to deliver electricity and water?

Watch hamas will launch rockets from within this tent city and the world except US will say don’t retaliate! This could get interesting.

Palis have lived in tent cities since 1948 & since then their Arab brethren haven’t lifted a finger to resettle them in other Arab states, for reasons as obvious as this latest intifada. They’re used to living like this.

Israel will fortify the Gaza border wall, turn their tunnel detectors up to max, create defense in depth, and will be ready to repel human tsunamis trying to swarm over the wall. No doubt crowd control weaponry such as water cannon & tear gas will be deployed (watch for gas masks!).

This is an existential threat no less serious than 1967.

Iran is behind this. They are getting ready to attack from Lebanon and Syria with Hezbollah and will stage a counterattack from Gaza with the tent city as a shield. Look for a massive missile attack to precede the attack. They are lining up to pre-empt the Embassy opening in Jerusalem. They will find an excuse to attack and already laying the groundwork. Read:http://m.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Report-Hezbollah-in-Lebanon-fears-Israeli-attack-declares-state-of-emergency-544578. This just my opinion, but the clues are there.

Using a helicopter spray pig shit over everything, people, tents, sand. And do it the next day, and every day until the muzzles leave.

Just like that English farmer who deployed his manure spreader against demonstrators in his fields.

We shouldn’t second guess the Israelis; they’ve had seventy years of experience devising countermeasures against every form of Arab aggression & every conceivable scenario.

But sometimes the simplest works best: a heliborne sh!tslinger would create mass revulsion & disgust; it’s hard to advance against the hated Jews when the air is full of you-know-what.

There’s a device called the “skunk” that flies over the heads of the crowd, spraying them with a substance that smells so offensive that the crowd quickly disperses, won’t wear off for hours. Invented for IDF use.
