Today is the 6th Friday of the #GreatReturnMarch. Last Friday there was a more organized attempt to reach the #GazaFence & Israeli army promised to respond harsher. Israel also declared human rights laws do not apply to the protesters. 48 killed & ~7,000 wounded so far in Gaza
Meanwhile, Giro d'Italia 2018, the biggest sporting event in Israeli history, begins today (& Israelis bitch about the traffic)
haaretz.com/israel-news/gi…
#normalization
#update: 100s of protesters are already near the #GazaFence (the main protests will begin after Friday prayers). Media reports Israeli army is using tear gas. Palestinian media report 1 captured by the Israeli army
Also happened today: Israeli governmental committee finished its work & handed a legal report that, if approved, will legalize 1000s of Jewish houses built w/o permits in the West Bank
The report was written by serious legal experts (all Jewish of course) but includes ideas like building bridges & tunnels to Jewish outposts surrounded by private Palestinian land
#photos: Friday prayers in one of ths #GreatReturnMarch protest camps
And a other piece of @realDonaldTrump's "ultimate deal" was revealed by @yanircozin today: Israeli will cut off 4 Palestinian neighborhoods from East Jerusalem and they will later serve as the "Palestinian capital". Sounds promising, right? #2StateIllusion
Oh & those 4 neighborhoods do not connect & even have Jewish neighborhood between some of them
Now @eliorlevy reports Mahmoud Abbas apologizes for his antisemitic remarks & say he "respects Judaism". He still needs to go, for the sake of everyone living here (& not because of his antisemitism, although it doesn't help). Unfortunately, the PLO convention just reelected him
#update: Israeli army orders farmers near #Gaza not to touch the Molotov-kites because there might be explosives attached to them
And the full Abbas apology in Arabic & English
MK @Ahmad_tibi is participating in the solidarity with the #GreatReturnMarch protest in Erez crossing

#GreatReturnMarch
#ICYMI (via @oritperlov)
#The2StateIllusion
And a bit about the growing tensions between Gaza & the PA

Israeli army to #GreatReturnMarch protesters via loudspeakers: "we don't want an escalation. We suggest children will stay away from the #GazaFence & advise the adults to keep them away & stay away. If you think you could do what you did last week, you are wrong" - via @eliorlevy

#update: @IDFSpokesperson estimates only 1000 protesters participate in the #GreatReturnMarch protests in Gaza today. In previous weeks their estimates were not always accurate
And here is a video allegedly showing the protesters shooting down the Israeli drone with a slingshot
Now the Palestinians claim they took down another Israeli drone in Gaza
#BREAKING: Palestinian paramedic wounded in the leg from Israeli (live/rubber-coated) bullet during confrontations in al-Bira in the West Bank north of Jerusalem

​​- #Gaza MoH
#update: #Gaza MoH is urging the international community to intervene after Israeli forces targeted Palestinian personnel with tear gas during the #GreatReturnMarch & the attacks are preventing them from offering medical assistance to injured protesters

6th #GreatReturnMarch Friday: Israeli army claims 2 attempts to breach the #GazaFence stopped. Palestinians broke into Kerem Shalom crossing &vandalize it. At least 431 protesters wounded, 45 of them from live bullets. 3 in serious condition. But it's the 1st Friday w/o any death
#update: 1,143 protesters wounded today - 83 from live bullets. 3 in serious condition. 149 minors & 78 women injured. No Palestinian was killed today. Since the #GreatReturnMarch started, 47 Palestinian killed & over 8,000 wounded - #Gaza MoH
Recap: 1,143 Palestinians wounded today, 83 of them shot by Israeli snipers (#Gaza MoH), yet the Israeli army seemed more restrained than last Fridays. 2 attempts to "breach the #GazaFence" blocked w/o deaths.
Hoping the 3 seriously wounded protesters make it through the night

Read the story of the of 8-month-old Layla Ghandour, who died after breathing Israeli tear gas when her grandmother was holding her in the #GreatReturnMarch protest camp, 100s of meters away from the #GazaFence. By @declanwalsh
nyti.ms/2IpSxcA
And if you want to see how does it look like when the new Israeli tear gas drones attack the #GreatReturnMarch protest camps, where families stay 100s of meters away from the #GazaFence, here is an example
#ICYMI:
@IDFSpokesperson admitted: #GreatReturnMarch is Palestinian PR success. But soldiers killed 100 protesters & nothing changed in Gaza.
Israel says Hamas doesn't want war.
Yesterday there were no protests
but more shots were fired at Israel than since the protests begun.

Thanks to Trump's embassy move, #Nakba70 protests start a day early. Israeli army expects West Bank protests & 100,000 demonstrators in #Gaza, is preparing to use lethal force against them & again threatens to air bomb Gaza. 49 Palestinians killed & 9,545 wounded so far in Gaza
Here is a short #thread about the #Nakba

Short #thread: Lies that Zionists tell themselves about the #Nakba
Myth: the Arabs attacked the Jews & lost & then escaped.
Reality: the ethnic cleansing of what later became Israel started before the Arab armies intervened or even before the British left. In fact, most Palestinian cities were conquered before the declaration of independence.
Myth: the small Jewish army won a miraculous victory against the much larger Arab armies.
Fact: the only army that equaled the Jewish army during the war was the British-trained Jordanian Legion, which generally respected the UN partition plan & didn't invade what became Israel.

Update: we are now in the same club as North Korea, Sudan & Iran
#JewishState
Clarification: the recommendation to deport @OmarSShakir was made by the liar-minister @giladerdan1, who is responsible for fighting *against* #BDS. I guess it was too complicated for him so now he's working to help #BDS

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory
