THE FLOTILLA FRAUD SINKS THE SHIPS THAT LIE.

One thing for sure is that the Gaza flotilla radicals are lying through their teeth.
Weeping crocodile tears for the weak and the oppressed they head of for Gaza to relieve the suffering of a increasingly middle class society who have just opened their second super Shopping Mall in Gaza City. Meanwhile, they have turned their backs on the Egyptians, Libyans, Syrians, Tunisians, Yemenites, who are being slaughtered by their leaders in favour of a terrorist regime that also tramples on the rights of its people in Gaza.
  Their adventure cruise in the Mediterranean may seem to them to be a goodwill mission but the effect will be to dislocate the Middle East even further and drive a dangerous wedge deep within Palestinian society. The result of their expensive, foolish, and illegal jaunt will not affect Israel one iota.
Let me explain with three sharp examples:

1. THE FLOTILLA RADICALS, BY THEIR ACTION, WILL DELEGITIMISE THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.
By heading for Hamas controlled Gaza they are outlawing the official Palestinian Authority in favour of the Islamic terror regime in the Gaza Strip. This is bound to cause irrevocable damage within Palestinian society, fracture even further Palestinian politics, and make peace even more distant. In their ignorance, they are unaware of the delicate Palestinian political balance and rivalry. Instead, they intend to go blundering into Gaza. This can only result in stirring up a hornet's nest that will weaken the more moderate arm of Palestinian politics. Or maybe it is one of their intentions to support and strengthen an Islamic terror regime that has introduced harsh Shariah law rather than a pragmatic liberal, secular, democracy? By doing so, they trample on any hope of normal human and civil rights as we know them for Hamas does not respect rights for women, gays, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press. Yet, amazingly, these are the people to whom the flotilla crazies are sailing with their letters of love and their out-of-date humanitarian aid.  Come on! Give me a break!

2. THERE IS NO HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA. The International Red Cross has said so.
You only have to search Google Earth to view spectacular pictures of modern day life in Gaza with beautiful homes, gorgeous squares and broad avenues, luxury hotels, fine restaurants, new sporting facilities, several splendid shopping malls. So what is all this nonsense of coming to rescue and free the poor people of Gaza?
The gates are open between Israel and Gaza with aid, goods, money, and services finding their way into the Strip in an orderly and supervised fashion. There is full cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. All goods and services are checked by both parties and, as long as there are no weapon grade materials, everything flows into Gaza unhindered. Since the upheaval in Egypt the border between Gaza and Ehypt is now also open. The rush of Palestinian wishing to leave has been surprising. Only an average of two hundred and fifty people care to "escape" Gaza daily.
If their motivation was to bring human rights and an expression of love and humanity to people in Gaza why did they refuse to make contact or demand that Hamas release Gilad Shalit. This Israeli boy was kidnapped in Israel, dragged across the border into Gaza, thrown into a dark room, been kept isolated from the world for five full years. Hamas has refused to offer any sign of life. They refused access from the International Red Cross. They cruelly taunt Shalit's family. Yet, the "humanitarian" cruise passengers refuse to confront Hamas and demand the immediate release of Gilad Shalit from Gaza should they get there. Alice Walker! Where is your compassion now?
Readers should research not only the level of prosperity in Palestinian society with an economy growing at a rate of 12% annually. They should also compare Palestinian lifestyle with other areas of the world. Life expectancy if longer than people in Africa and Asia. Child mortality is lower than those regions. Obesity is greater than those places. All signs of a healthy, wealthy, society.
So why aren't these flotilla radicals not taking their aid to places where it is desperately needed? Because the starving in Africa are not the poster child of the radicals, nor do they interest the Arab Muslim world. They have no interest in following the lead of stars such as Bob Geldorf  and Bono who are genuinely trying to help the genuine needy of this world. Israel helps these people, as it helps improve the lives of Palestinians. The flotilla mob, however, are using their pet project as a club to beat Israel. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the bottom line, the profound truth, about what this flotilla joke is all about.

3. THE FLOTILLA PARTICIPANTS ARE COMMITTING AN ILLEGAL ACT.
The blockade of Gaza is legal. International law says so. After suicide bombers, tens of thousands of rockets and mortars fired from Gaza into Israeli civilian areas, the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit, Israel has the legal right to protect itself. The supervised flow of goods into Gaza is one legal way of ensuring its self defense. The flotilla mob want to destroy that defense. They embark on their flotilla campaign knowing that it is a criminal act. They try to dress it up with the liberal language of humanity but their malevolent intent is to cause harm to Israelis.

It is imperative that Israel show the funders and organisers of future flotillas that their provocations will be costly. Israel should impound all equipment used in this illegal act against the Jewish state. It should check international law and see if it is legal to impound the ships themselves. Those who provide the ships, the crew, and the equipment will think twice if they know they chance losing their assets.
It is time to close this avenue of confrontation.

FRAMING THE IMAGE.


PUBLIC OPINION IS FORMED, INFORMED, MISINFORMED BY THE IMAGES THEY RECEIVE ON THEIR TV SCREENS OR IN THEIR NEWSPAPERS.   USUALLY, TV AUDIENCES AND NEWSPAPER READERS ARE PASSIVE MINDS ABSORBING WHATEVER SIGNALS THEY ARE RECEIVING, NOT REALLY ANALYSING THE DATA THEY ARE BEING FED. THEY SIMPLY ACCEPT IT AND ABSORB IT. THEY RARELY CHALLENGE OR QUESTION THE ‘FACTS’ THEY ARE BEING FED.

WHEN YOU GET AN IMAGE THAT IS PERSISTENTLY ECHOED AND REPEATED IT HAS THE EFFECT OF SOLIDIFYING THE PERCEIVED NOTION THAT THAT PRODUCT IS RELIABLE, THAT THE NEWS ANGLE IS CORRECT, THAT THE  IMAGE IS THE REAL THING. 
NOBODY QUESTIONS THAT THE IMAGE HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT, THAT THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY, THAT, IN FACT, THE IMAGE IS MISLEADING AND ITS EFFECT ON PUBLIC OPINION IS A FORM OF MANIPULATION BY THE MEDIA.
THIS HAS BEEN THE FATE OF ISRAEL’S IMAGE ON THE WORLD.

ISRAEL HAS HAD TO FIGHT SEVERAL WARS AND DEFEND ITSELF FROM THE MOST HORRENDOUS ACTS OF PALESTINIAN TERROR FOR DECADES. IT HAS BEEN ASSAULTED BY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ROCKETS FIRED BY AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANISATION IN LEBANON CAUSING MILLIONS OF ISRAELIS CITIZENS TO FLEE THEIR HOMES IN NORTHERN ISRAEL.  IT HAS BEEN VICTIM TO THE SAME FATE IN THE SOUTH AS ANOTHER ISLAMIC TERROR REGIME ALSO FIRED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ROCKETS INTO ISRAEL’S SOUTHERN TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
BUT THE CONSISTENT MEDIA MESSAGE IS NOT OF ISRAELI SUFFERING, OR ISRAELI JUSTIFICATION IN DEFENDING ITS CITIZENS FROM THIS ONGOING ASSAULT.  INSTEAD, THE MEDIA IMAGE HAS BEEN DOCTORED TO PRESENT A BRUTAL REGIME DELIBERATELY OPPRESSING INNOCENT CIVILIANS.

FROM IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN YOU GET IMAGES OF AMERICAN AND BRITISH TROOPS ON PATROL SMILING AT LOCAL KIDS AND HANDING OUT CANDY.  YOU NEVER SEE THOSE IMAGES WITH REFERENCE TO ISRAELI SOLDIERS THOUGH IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS.  AMERICAN AND BRITISH TROOPS IN FAR OFF AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ ARE PERCEIVED TO BE KEEPING THE PEACE. ISRAELI SOLDIERS ON PATROL ARE THE CAUSE OF THE TENSION. IT’S ALL ABOUT IMAGE AND INTERPRETATION. AND SO, WHEN ISRAELI SOLDIERS FIRE TEAR GAS AND WARNING SHOTS AT THOUSANDS OF VIOLENT AND PROVOCATIVE ARABS WHO HAVE BEEN PAID TO CREATE A MASSIVE BORDER INCURSION INTO ISRAEL THE IMAGE IS ONE OF ISRAELI SOLDIERS OPENING FIRE ON UNARMED DEMONSTRATORS. THE DESIRED EDITORIAL EFFECT IS TO EQUATE I.D.F. SOLDIERS WITH THE FORCES OF REGIONAL DICTATORS WHO ARE SLAUGHTERING THEIR OWN PEOPLE.  IN OTHER WORD NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL.

THIS REINFORCEMENT OF A FALSE IMAGE CAN BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AS MAJOR MEDIA CHANNELS HAVE EMBEDDED THEIR REPORTERS WITH THE ACTIVISTS WHO ARE INTENDING TO FORCE ISRAEL TO RESPOND TO THEIR ILLEGAL ACT OF BREAKING A LEGAL BLOCKADE OF GAZA ON THEIR FLOTILLA. THIS TRUTH WILL HAVE LITTLE PLACE IN THEIR REPORTING. IT IS THE IMAGE THEY ARE AFTER, THE IMAGE OF ISRAELI TROOPS STORMING THE SHIPS. THE GREATER THE RESISTANCE AND VIOLENCE THE MORE SENSATIONAL AND NEWSWORTHY THE VIDEO AND PICTURES.  ONE PICTURE, THEY SAY, IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS AND ISRAEL WILL HAVE TO EXPEND A THOUSAND WORD TO EXPLAIN THAT ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE SIMPLY  APPLYING THE LAW IN DEFENSE OF ISRAEL, BUT THAT MESSAGE IS IRRELEVANT TO THE IMAGE. WHO WANTS TO HEAR THAT ISRAEL IS CONSTANTLY UNDER ATTACK. IT IS THE IMAGE  THAT FORMS PUBLIC OPINION. HENCE THE VICIOUS CIRCLE.

THE IMAGE GOES BEYOND FORMING PUBLIC OPINION. IT EXPRESSES ITSELF IN CONCRETE ACTION THAT IMPACTS ON ISRAEL. ONE MICROCOSM CAN ILLUSTRATE THE KNOCK ON EFFECT. 
A LITTLE KNOWN, INSIGNIFICANT, LOCAL COUNCIL IN SCOTLAND HAS IMPOSED A BOYCOTT ON ISRAEL. IT HAS ALSO BANNED ISRAEL BOOKS FROM THEIR LIBRARY. WEST DUNBARTON COUNCIL, YOU SEE, HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY A LEFT WING ACTIVIST COUNCILLOR WHO DECIDED TO CHAMPION THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE (THE PALESTINIANS BEING THE POSTER CHILD OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISTS AND RADICAL ISLAMISTS) BY CALLING FOR THE BOYCOTT. HE QUOTED THE "DELIBERATE TARGETING OF CIVILIANS" AND THE "DISPROPORTIONATE USE OF FORCE". THESE ARE OFT REPEATED  AND UNFOUNDED ACCUSATIONS  OF THE TV AND PRINT MEDIA IN BRITAIN. BASED ON HIS RESOLUTION, AND THEIR RESPONSE TO THE REPETITIVE IMAGES THAT FORMED THEIR OPINION, THE COUNCIL VOTED AND APPROVED THE BOYCOTT. 
NO ONE IN THAT COUNCIL CHAMBER THOUGHT TO INVITE ANY OFFICIAL ISRAELI RESPONSE TO BALANCE THE PROPOSAL.  THEIR DECISION WAS TAKEN BASED ON A ONE SIDED RECOMMENDATION. THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE NO FEAR OF BEING THROWN OUT OF OFFICE AS THIS ISOLATED PART OF THE WORLD HAS NO ISRAELI AND  ONLY A HANDFUL OF JEWS, IF ANY,  AMONG IT CONSTITUENTS TO RAISE A LOCAL PROTEST.  THEIR RESOLUTION NOT TO BUY BOOKS PRODUCED IN ISRAEL SAYS THAT WEST DUNBARTON COUNCIL WILL IMPOSE ON THEIR CITIZENS WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT READ. THEY HAVE CLOSED THE DOOR ON OPEN MINDED RESEARCH, DEBATE,  OR EXAMINATION INTO WHETHER THEIR DECISION IS FAIR OR RIGHT OR EVEN JUST.

AND SO, WHEN LOCAL COUNCILS, TRADES UNIONS, THE ACADEMIC WORLD, EVEN CHURCH GROUPS ARE PERVERTED TO SLAM THE DOOR IN THE FACE OF A JUST ISRAEL ACTING IN ITS SELF DEFENSE IS IT ANY WONDER THAT THE MEDIA CONTINUES TO MANIPULATE PUBLIC OPINION WITHOUT TOO MUCH OPPOSITION.
THIS IS WHY OUTLANDISH ALLEGATIONS EQUATING ISRAEL TO A RACIST, NAZI, APARTHEID STATE GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES USING A DISPROPORTIONATE SHOW OF FORCE IN THEIR ETHNIC CLEANING AND GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE GAINS SUCH FOOLISH ACCEPTANCE IN PEOPLE WHO SHOULD, AND MUST, KNOW BETTER.

THEY DO NOT SEE THAT THE PALESTINIAN POPULATION HAS NOT BEEN ETHNICALLY CLEANSED BUT HAVE, IN FACT, GROWN AND IT IS THE JEWS OF ISRAEL THAT FACE GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING AND THE HANDS OF THE PALESTINIANS AND ARAB ISLAMIC STATES INCLUDING IRAN.

THEY DO NOT SEE THAT PALESTINIANS HAVE PROSPERED IN RECENT YEARS MAINLY THANKS TO THE COOPERATION OF AN ISRAEL THAT HAS REPEATEDLY AGREED TO A TWO STATE SOLUTION AND IS ASSISTING THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY WITH ITS NATION BUILDING.
THEY DO NOT READ THAT BOTH FATAH AND HAMAS MAINTAIN AN ANTI-SEMITIC CHARTER THAT CALLS FOR THE KILLING OF JEWS AND THE ELIMINATION OF THE JEWISH STATE.

THEY DO NOT LEARN ABOUT THE HATE EDUCATION AND INCITEMENT AGAINST JEWS AND ISRAEL THAT IS BEING TAUGHT IN PALESTINIAN SCHOOLS AND IN THE CHILDREN’S SUMMER CAMPS.

THEY ARE NOT INFORMED BY THEIR MEDIA AND LEADERS THAT THE PALESTINIANS HAVE REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH ISRAEL DIRECTLY, REJECT THE NOTION OF THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL, AND CLAIM ALL OF ISRAEL AS THEIR PALESTINE.

NONE OF THE WESTERN MEDIA HAVE CONDUCTED ANY INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING ABOUT THE TERORRIST NATURE OF PALESTINIAN SOCIETY. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE BECAUSE OF TWO REASONS. THE EDITORIAL STAFF OF MOST OF THE WESTERN MEDIA HAVE NO INTEREST OR POLITICAL BENT TO CONDUCT SUCH HONEST REPORTING. EVEN IF THEY CHOSE TO DO SO THEY KNOW THEY WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED INTO PALESTINIAN TERRITORY TO CONDUCT SUCH INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING AS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE PRESS THERE, AS THERE IS IN ISRAEL. REPORTERS AND JOURNALISTS HAVE BEEN KILLED AND KIDNAPPED BY PALESTINIANS. IT IS A RISKY BUSINESS TO TELL THE TRUTH IN PALESTINIAN HELD AREAS.

THESE ARE THE IMAGES THEY DON’T WANT TO SHAPE PUBLIC OPINION. TO RELEASE SUCH IMAGES WOULD RAISE THE QUESTION WHY THE PUBLIC WAS KEPT IGNORANT OF THE TRUTH, WHY THEY HAVE BEEN DECEIVED, FOR SO LONG.

THE SECRET JEWS

I strongly recommend that you research a fascinating and tragic period of Jewish history that stretched for more than three hundred years yet is little known.
The story of the Anusim, the Secret Jews, is a valuable and significant, yet rarely discovered, Jewish event that, in its world range, the numbers of Jews killed or affected by it for centuries can be called the longest genocide in world history.
I refer to the fate of the Spanish and Portugese Jews at the hands of the Spanish Inquisition.

The campaign of the Catholic Church to eliminate the Jews went beyond the borders of Spain and Portugal. The plague of Antisemitism swept through north Africa, across the Atlantic to South and Central America, and to the Caribbean in pursuit of the Jews.
Under threat of deportation, torture, and death by being burnt alive at the stake many Jews adopted an overt Christian image while covertly maintaining their Jewish rituals and prayers.

I attended "The Worldwide Awakening of the Descendents of the Secret Jews: Conference . This major conference marked the launch of a new international institute for the study of Anusim (the Secret Jews) at the Netanya Academic College.
Gloria Mound, an impressive English lady who has just moved to Netanya to be close to the college, has researched this subject for decades compiling an impressive two thousand five hundred books and over five thousands documents and files that record a cruel oppression of the Jews that outstrips in time and range anything seen in human history. Her archives will be a precious addition to the research centre but, as one important speakers at the conference pointed out, research is insufficient if it is not linked to practical application. This should apply to the Anusim who should be encouraged to openly adopt their heritage to the extent of making Aliyah to Israel. Early research reveals a startling statistic that as many as six million Portugese were descended from Anusim (Secret Jews).

Even today many thousands of Spanish speakers on three continents are fearful or wary of announcing their Jewish heritage. Others are not aware that they have Jewish blood in their veins as this part of their history has been kept from them for generations out of fear, and out of shame.
The Spanish Government is loath to open its official archives to researchers of this horrendous period in Spanish history. The Vatican, similarly, keep documents and records secreted away in the Vatican vaults.

Increasingly, though, Anusim people are making their way to Israel to fulfill a new life that had been forbidden for hundreds of years to their family. And here lies another problem. Israeli authorities do not know how to receive these people. Are they truly Jewish and welcome in the Jewish state under the Law of Return? Or are they, as they publicly claimed, really Catholics?  The feeling at the conference was that Israel should welcome these people home with open arms. They have suffered centuries of persecution for holding secretly to their faith and it should not be down to local politicians or bureaucrats to question the ambition of these people to come and live as free Jews in a state of their own.

I knew about the Spanish Inquisition but never fully appreciated the scope and size of the persecution of the Jews. I read a book tantilisingly called "The Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean" when I was on vacation that opened my eyes to this episode of history. Now this conference revealed more amazing stories and detail.
Please research this rich and dramatic story and be prepared to be moved by the human tragedies, tales of ingenuity, and learn about a period of Jewish history long forgotten but slowly being discovered. The effect of its telling will affect Israel, the Jewish people, and Christian conscience.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PALESTINIAN BORDER INCURSION FROM SYRIA.

Interesting developments followed the recent unsuccessful attempt at a mass insurgency from Syria into Israel in early June.
  The numbers showed a reluctance from the Syrian Palestinians to involve themselves in an Assad sham. Those that were paid and did participate received a bloody reminder of the cynical use that regimes make of civilians.
On Naksa Day on June 3rd border protesters were easily repelled by the IDF with the use of tear gas and sniper fire to the legs of a few. Much more serious was the deaths that took place close to Kunetra when protesters stumbled across an old Syrian minefield. Up to nine people were killed by the exploding mines.
  Little media attention was given to events in the Yarmuk refugee camp near Damascus. The inmates understood that they had been duped into acting for the Assad regime to detract attention away from their blatant murder of civilians. It took time for the bodies to be returned to their families by which time tempers were boiling. An estimates 100,000 took part in the mass funerals. They chanted slogans against Assad.
Syria is the base for some of the extreme elements of the Palestinians, including Hamas and the PFLP led by Ahmed Jibril. Jibril came to the funerals with some of his close henchmen and leaders of other radical Palestinian organisations. When he started making a speech blaming Israel for the deaths and praising Assad the crowd drowned him out with their protests. He was asked to leave and allow the people to bury their dead, but he chose to remain. At this, the crowd began pelting the visiting leadership with stones. Then the protest grew more violent. Protesters vented their anger by bursting into the PFLP offices. They broke furniture before setting the offices on fire. Two PFLP guards were killed in this assault and Jibril's security forces opened fire on the protesters killing 14 and wounding many more.
Hamas leader in Syria, Khaled Maashal, visited the camp in an attempt to appease the protesters but he was met with jeers and was driven out of the camp.
  Ahmed Jibril is not only the head of PFLP. He is also a senior intelligence official of the Assad regime.
  The only official communique from the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah was a tepid response saying that " a group of armed men was responsible for the crimes and promised an investigation.
  In short, the deaths of the Palestinian can, in no way, be blamed on Israel.

THE NAKSA BORDER INVASION - WHY IT FAILED.

Following a trial run in May a coordinated effort was launched by Hamas, Hizbollah, and the Syrian regime to mount a massive three-pronged border invasion into Israel. The aim was to gain international propaganda by the sight of thousands of unarmed protesters demonstrating their desire "to return home to Palestine". The anticipated numbers were put at 100,000. Israel prepared itself to face this illegal action.
  The organisation began to unravel from the beginning. The Palestinians had just announced a unified front between Fatah and Hamas and the Palestinian leadership insisted that this was not the time to disrupt delicate international diplomacy with a violent confrontation with Israel. In a secret agreement, the Palestinian Authority agreed to let some local Arabs blow off steam in and around Jerusalem if Hamas backed off. In a surprising show of authority, the Lebanese Government told Hizbollah that they would not tolerate a major border incident with Israel and placed troops along the border to head off the rioters. And so the much vaunted "humanitarian" cry to return home came down to about a thousand Syrians transported to the border near Magdel Shams, and about five hundred on the Golan border near Kunetra. Each was paid the equivalent of a thousand dollars each for their time and efforts to breach the border fence.
  The IDF was instructed to act with restraint using tear gas and only open fire if the border fence was breached and then only to fire at the legs of demonstrators. This, indeed, was the tactic employed on the borders. The "Skunk" liquid canon was used in the demonstrations in Kalandiah near Jerusalem after rocks were thrown by rioters and injuries began to occur among the soldiers as a result of the stoning.
  The Syrian regime, keen to distract attention from their wholesale slaughter of their own people, announced that twenty three demonstrators had been killed in the border incident.  This false claim was immediately adopted by extremist anti-Israel activists as a club to beat Israel. The West Dumbarton Council (emphasis on the word DUMB in the middle of their title), an insignificant local authority in Scotland that has been hijacked by radical leftists including a Jim Bollan, has recently passed a resolution boycotting Israel and banning Israeli books from their library. The radical rantings of Bollan preferred to support the lies of an Assad regime that butchers its own people than, heaven forbid!, accept the truth from Israel and from non partisan observers that twenty three Syrians were not killed by Israeli gunfire during a massed and violent border incursion attempt.
  Sky News were also guilty of unsubstantiated sensationalism when they announced the Syrian numbers without prefixing their announcements with words like "alleged" or "according to Syrian sources". Instead, they gave out the number as if it were fact.
  When I say that no one was killed by Israeli gunfire my claim is much closer to the truth than the murderous Assad regime's falsehoods. Several were injured as can be seen by video footage.
  The truth is that four people were killed when they strayed into an old Syrian minefield near Kunetra. You would have thought that the Syrian and Palestinian organisers would have warned them of the existence of this minefield on the Syrian side of the border with Israel but, hey, what's a few lives to a regime that has recently butchered over one thousand five hundred of its own people?
  It was noted, at least in Israel, that the Kunetra protesters turned around and went home after seeing poeple blown to smithereens in a desolate minefield. Well, your confidence in your leaders would dissipate a little if that happened to you, wouldn't it?  You too would lose faith in the leaders that set you up for death, and that was exactly the motive of the organisers, to try and show the world Israelis shooting and killing unarmed protesters who only wanted to go home..
Instead, the paid volunteers (a contradiction in terms if ever there was any) angrily turned on their local Palestinian leader, Ahmed Jibril, demanding to know why he sent people to their deaths on behalf of an evil Syrian regime who wanted to use the Palestinian issue as a distraction. Jibril, you see, is not only the representative of the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine in Syria. He is also a high official in the Syrian Intelligence Service.
Palestinians in Syria enjoy dual citizenship, unlike in other Arab countries but Jibril has been a useful instrument to the Assad family for decades.
  And so the recent border incursions failed. This, however, will not stop the Arabs from attempting to redesign the model of massive protest across borders in the future and Israel must take radical action now in preparation for future violent border events. It is vitally important for the IDF to preserve the ethos of purity of arms when confronting overwhelming civil unrest. Every method should be taken that leaves the use of live fire as a last resort.
  My recommendation to Israel's security and military leadership is to prepare and lay stretches of minefields at strategically sensitive locations. They should be laid in a design that leaves no possibility that innocent civilians can stray into these areas. This, on our borders, can easily be done by using the no mans land of the space between two border fences. On top of this minefield stretch should be placed barbed wire coils. The fence should be clearly marked in Hebrew and Arabic "Warning! Minefield!"  Any approaching mass demonstration can be met by Israeli soldiers cautioning them over loudspeakers that they are approaching minefields. There would be no need to open fire and anyone stupid or radical enough to venture into a declared minefield would only have themselves to blame for the consequences.
  Israel has successfully deterred Arab nations from initiating conventional warfare against it. Israel has taken radical steps to reduce the scourge of suicide bombers to zero. Israel can clearly think outside the box when it comes to organised and massive border incursions.
