Press TV: On this anniversary of NAKBA, so far we have 65 people injured and at least one person killed; we have reports of a journalist being critically injured in Gaza. We also have reports of 30 Palestinians hurt and four killed in So

Is this the spark that starts the tinder to inflame the whole world? Riots and military incidents are on the rise as well as Governments saddling their peoples with fascist laws and imprisonments. Make peace with your friends and family. Do what good you can and then you can rightly say like the old Duke Nukem game, "Let God sort them out!"

First time in 63 years!?! 50,000 Palestinians!?! All the unrest occuring in the middle east nations?!?

15 killed as Arab protesters march on Israel borders

MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights — Mobilized by calls on Facebook, thousands of Arab protesters marched on Israel’s borders with Syria, Lebanon and Gaza on Sunday in an unprecedented wave of demonstrations, sparking clashes that left at least 15 people dead in an annual Palestinian mourning ritual marking the anniversary of Israel’s birth.

Is it just me, or have things in the region just gone haywire in the past few months?

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

This may be overblown. The story from presstv.ir was from yesterday. From the link-

These people cannot do anything peacefully.....

Israel wasnt involved. Its on the Palestinian borders.So how were those people killed? ...If anyone understands Islam it is the same old internacine conflicts

I continue to find it absolutely hilarious that liberals support Palestinian interests when the feeling is anything but mutual. Arab-Islamic Palestnians do not support most things liberal hold sacred; democracy? NO. Gay rights? Hell No. Womans rights? No...Even Humans rights? Again, No. Its against Islam the concept of human rights...

And yet the mindless liberals continue in their support of the Palestinians... It is by far the most ironic 'friendship' in human history....Really the only plausible common interest they have is a hate for Israel...

Oh so 50,000 Palestinians crash through the gate and Israel will no doubt start a bloody massacre, causing more activists to yell and scream at Israel causing more bullets to kill more activists to scream to cause more bullets to kill more activists, etc

Nice strawman, but not only the "mindless liberals" are supporting palestinians.

95% of you on ATS uproared at the IDF for engaging some of the more violent border crossers, however... Imagine if 50,000 Mexicans, mix of family oriented civilians and gang members, flooded the El Paso border instanteously??????....

Would you want the U.S National Guard to engaged any of them? Or just let them come in and "deport" them later?...

You press an excellent point there.

But I will say in our defense, the US is not running Air and land raids or missile attacks on Mexico on a regular basis, or ever since the Mexican American war.
We also do not restrict the Mexicans freedoms and run blockades on them.
Kind of like apples and oranges don't you think?

"Oh it's over sensationalized guys/gals, I mean come on it's just some worthless nobody nothings in some other country suffering and dying due to being oppressed. It's such a non-story and doesn't matter at all. Here is my proof, it's not on the MSM front page therefore it has no bearing on reality or matter at all in any way!"

There seems to be a black-out on this today. Does anyone have a link to a live feed on this development?

Maybe someone could give me a twitter keyword?

Thanks for the video footage. I guess this really happened.

Around 6minutes into the video, the people started rushing over and climbing the fence towards freedom. That was really cool. Hopefully the gunshots I heard were celebratory and not aimed at anyone.

All in all I have to say this was cool. I am always happy to see slaves running away from the slave master.

Underground railroad anyone?
Why yes, I guess I am an abolitionist after all.

Hmmm.

Yup. People in this video ran from Surya to Israel, after all.

I am always happy to see slaves running away from the slave master.

I am not sure that Assad is THAT bad.
On a serious note - sadly,deadly serious - 4 people died there.

what is happenning in the video. Is this a Twitter protest ?why are they syddenlt running to the boarder. Boarders are silly really. why fence of whole countries or rather the Earth. its hard to find anywhere to walk , there are so many fences. Fences are symbolic of our own capture within .

As much as it is nice to see people doing what they are told they cant do ...in reality this muslim religion will cause so much strife all over europe in mass protests and burning of the cities.
I think Mother shipton has predicted this . Mother shipton was one of those seerers from the days of olde in England .
it seems that events are being pushed into this direction . Is it by folly or by design . Oh the muslim hoardes again running all over the Earth this time. I say lets their own countries be happy , peacefull , prosperous places , then maybe they wont need to swamp Europe and australia and the world . Let them live in PEACE and freedom in Muslim counries.
