    A few thousand Palestinians attended Friday’s rally near the border with a few dozen venturing toward the fence.

    Some launched flaming kites at Israel. The devices have destroyed forests and crops and killed animals in recent weeks in Israel.

    The Islamic militant group Hamas that rules Gaza has led three months of protests that turned violent. Over 120 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire.

    Israel says it is defending its border and nearby communities and accuses Hamas of using the protests as cover for attempts to breach the fence and carry out attacks.

    Rallies are aimed in part at drawing attention to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after Hamas seized Gaza in 2007.

    They should have shot to kill and the hell with the world’s perverted opinion.

    If the Mexicans massed on the border with Texas and threatened to take back Texas and began sending kites with fires to burn Texas, I think the world would see a very strong reaction from the USA.

    This is all the fault of agent orange. He emboldened blond yutz’s husband to seperate African migrant families by doing the same at home. Now he wants to separate gaza residents from their Homeland. Where is Sharon now? Feh.
