Israeli Forces Fired at Palestinians at Border killing 16 |
East Jerusalem : Israeli Forces killed at least 16 people and injured scores as Palestinian people ousted by Israel since its birth in 1948 towards Syria, Lebanon along with Gaza and West Bank, marched toward Israeli borders to mark the day of “Nakba” .
The marches, which brought the protest culture of the Arab Spring to Israel’s doorstep,
marked an unprecedented escalation of the annual demonstrations on the anniversary of the illegal establishment of Israel in 1948.
Palestinians commemorate Israel’s founding as al-Naqba, or the catastrophe, marking the displacement of hundreds of thousands in the war that followed Israel’s declaration of independence.
The coordinated protests on Sunday were organized using many of the social media tools that have propelled revolts in Arab countries in recent months, and the message they carried, of Palestinian demands for the right to return to their ancestral homes, struck a raw nerve among Israelis, who have been watching the popular uprisings with concern that they could strengthen groups hostile to Israel.
