Casualty Reported As Protesters Storm Israel Embassy In Cairo; Video Of Palestinians , Syrians Entering Israel-Controlled Golan Heights

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As the Nakba protests continue late in the night across the Middle East, things in Egypt have taken a turn for the worse after Reuters reports that Egyptian police have fired teargas to force back pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had broken through a barricade in front of the Israeli embassy in Cairo, according to witnesses. Additionally, according to the twitter stream, at least one person has been killed during the protest after being shot in the head. Those who wish to follow the latest on the ground updates from Egypt and Israel may do so by searching the #May 15 hash tag. Judging by the early drop in the EURUSD, the sentiment is definitely risk averse.

Additionally below we present a video of Syrians and Palestinians entering the Israel Controlled Golan heights earlier today.

More from Electronic Intifada:

A dramatic video published by the website baladee.net  shows the moment when hundreds of Palestinian refugees and Syrians break through the border fence from Syria into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights (part of Syria occupied by Israel in 1967 and illegally annexed in 1981).

The video, which appears to be taken from the Israeli-occupied side shows a group of hundreds or perhaps thousands of marchers carrying Palestinian flags heading toward the boundary fence. Spectators on the Israeli-occupied side – apparently worried about the safety of the marchers – call on them to go back because of the danger of land mines.

However, undeterred, the marchers continue, and break through the border fence as people on both sides call for the liberation of Palestine. As the marchers break through there are scenes of joy, high emotion and embraces with those on the Israeli-occupied side. One man is heard to say, “This is how liberation is.”

And for some of the more dramatic pictures from today's Nakba violence we turn to the Guardian.

Israel uses the tanks, because everytime they do, they run the bitches off like scared rats. If those people, and a large mass of them, charge the tanks and take them over, then Isreal would rethink the strategy. If you have enough people, and yes some will probably get killed, but not all of them, and they can take over that equipment.  You just can't be in the street with a bunch of chicken shits who run at the first sign of a fight.

Sorry J, can't happen. A Merkava tank has 800 round coax ready box, plus another 400 in the copula, plus beehive rounds. It would take 1-2K dismounts to actually try it, and then the tank would just move. That is why they use tanks. Life is not Star Wars or Saving Private Ryan.

All you need is some sticky bombs to disable the tanks. Easy to make, very effective. Cost is minimal. Not to mention, not all the vehicles they are using are tanks. Take the others over first, use the soldiers as shields.

If a mob were to make the journey over the river and through the woods and start scaling my fence one day, whether they were civilian or in uniform, or whether they were armed or unarmed would make very little difference in my decision to repel the invasion.  On the margin it might alter my choice of caliber, cyclic rate, or impact point, but the basic course of events is actually determined long before boots are on the ground.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the Palestinians had the support of the U.S. instead of Israhell?

What if the Palestinians were able to enjoy the fruits of a parasitic nature and buy an Army and Air Force and it were the Jews were the ones throwing rocks?

Yeah.. Those brave IDF soldiers..  Nothing but respect for those women and children murderers.. At least they do it with the blessing of the US and ostensibly look like the good guys.. Nice... real nice..

If that were the case, it still couldn't match what the USA did for israel. My opinion on this conflict has always been neutral, which is why i do not usually engage in discussions in these threads. However, to claim that the palestinians have as much support, equipment and stability as israel, is just blind. One may discuss what would be fair and who does what kind of things, but to compare military, social and economic strength one just needs two eyes.

I don't claim they have as much support as israel. I merely asked why the Arab nations don't support the Palestinians. Why haven't the Arabs opened business's in Gaza? provided jobs?

Israel is not perfect. They are not without responsibility. I am just asking what about the Arabs?

The Arab 'nations'?

Well, for a start the Arab people do support the Palestinians.

But the Arab people don't run 'their' countries, do they?

So what you're really asking is... why don't the Arab governments support the Palestinians?

Mmm, how about, because most of them are US satraps? Or, because if an Arab government helped the Palestinians, it would get sanctions/blockaded/invaded by Israel or the US?

Oh, and just in case you hadn't noticed: Gaza - it's blockaded. That's why the 'Arabs' haven't been busy opening businesses in Gaza.

The problem here isn't that Israel isn't 'not perfect'. The problem here is that Israel has almost complete control of the Gaza Strip and West Bank and is slowly squeezing the life out of them. The problem is that Israel is a racist, apartheid state, determined to steal every last remaining inch of Palestinian land, and the US - the world's only hyperpower - is backing them to the hilt.

Right now, the Egyptian junta has forbidden the Egyptian people - who do stand with the people of Palestine - from marching from Tahrir to Rafah.

Because the junta gets PAID from Uncle Sam, as long as they obey the diktat to serve Apartheid Israel.

Here's a hint, muppet:

When the USA and Saudi Arabia do deals on swapping an Eygptian revolution for a 'police action' intervention in Bahrain, do you really think the USA [and by proxy, Israel] don't trade off for non-recognition, and likewise, do you really think that the Arab states don't use Palestine as a political / PR bargaining chip in return?

You, sir/madam, are a fucking tool. My "meds" obviously need to be stronger, to get anywhere close to your level of retarded shilling.

Go back to Europe, White Man.  The border moved long before the Mexican's did.

As for all those 'Free' things!  Ha.  Immigrants provide their Capitalist owners with superprofits, and have virtually no legal protection from super-exploitation by parasites.  No mention of that part from you - what a fucking shocker, considering you're nothing more than a banker-gangster bootlicker!

It's a real paradise for immigrants here on Uncle Sam's plantation.  

Maybe if the Capitalist wet-dream called NAFTA hadn't dispossessed so many Mexicans of their means to survival, handing millions acres of arable land to Uncle Sam's multinationals, they tidal wave of immigrants would have never occurred.

Moreover, these poor wage slaves are under constant attack from the merchants of hate such as yourself.

A typical defense of massive population dislocation by a banker-gangster (jack)bootlicker.  

It was all the peasant's desire to leave their family and homeland, work in maquiladoras, meet fascist parasites who hate them, and buy shoes with lights in them.

It has NOTHING to do with the Capitalist's mad race to the sweatshop bottom.

Actually they came here so they could eat at McDonalds, shop at Walmart, and suck up Welfare.  Mexican immigrants, just like the hordes of Arabs in Europe are race traitors.  Instead of running off to the supposed land of marxist milk and honey they should be building something in their home nations.  If their home nation is on the US payroll, as most are, then they should be fighting against that hegemony AT HOME.

It's hard to imagine that the White Man's Burden is still alive when the world White Capitalism has produced has SO fucked the planet in so many ways.

People frequently leave their family and homeland behind because they want to, don't they?  And they ESPECIALLY love to do so when the alternative is sweatshop labor or super-exploitation by the very same agribusinesses who have stolen their land thanks to NAFTA.

It's funny when a White Supremacist burglar who lives an overprivileged existence thanks to immigrant labor whines like a little bitch about all White Civilization has done or those it exploits so viciously!   You're like a White Slaver (e.g., a founding father) who called slaves lazy while they're cooked, cleaning, and being raped by their owner.

Immigrant crime is out of control and the immigrant drain on the education system and the medical system is absurd.  No one owes those parasites anything.  As for slavery in America, you do realize that was a Jewish operation right?

i think three main points of contention and rightly so, are the suez canal and the true control of it by egypt's people, 2, the stupid and silly but fucking the jews are doing to the egyptians on that stupid and silly gas contract that the traitor , their former presidente for life, mubarak signed behind their backs giving the jews a sweetheart deal on gas

http://www.upi.com/Business_News/Energy-Resources/2011/04/22/Post-Mubara...

and 3, the control of the sinai desert which is technically part of egypt but which has been kind of a quasi no man's land since the 1973 war, i believe.

but the reality of the situation is this. israel believes that their official boundary is the nile river in the west, the lutani river in the north, and the euphrates river in the east. phase 1 is about complete with a very large united states of israel embassy located on greater israel's eastern border on the euphrates river with a border garrison of 50,000 american mercenary troops there to guard israel's eastern border and to protect israel's oil pipelines to israel from iraq, where they are stealing iraqi oil. (and you thought we went in there because of 911, or regime change of some stupid shit like that)

well of course. enemies are needed in order that wars are fought. and if there are no enemies then enemies are created. israel cannot exist unless there is war or unrest. if there is peace, it would collapse under its own corruption. actually, the above statements are a microcosm of the way things are all over the world now. fiat money is collapsing. so the sheep need entertainment and distractions. and buddy are we getting them as of late, it seems.....the muslims, like us all, are being used as tools and historically speaking as well, this has always been the case. infitrations of islam by the enemy were done from the start, just like it was done to christianity through catholicism firstly, then protestantism and certain cults that sprang up in the 1800's etc. the world system looks like a giant octopus with its tennacles into every crevice of our lives. no wonder that the apostle john said in the book of Revelations in the Biblical text, who can make war with this beast? who can stand against him?  who?

The principles of the plan, Road Map For Peace, were first outlined by U.S. president George W. Bush in a speech on June 24, 2002, in which he called for an independent Palestinian state living in peace with the Israeli state. Bush was the first U.S. President to explicitly call for such a Palestinian state.

Conflict between the Semitic nations, (Hebrew and Arabic), has remained a constant for the better part of 3,300 years, but more so since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 following the Arab-Israeli War

Ishmael was considered Hamite because his mother, Hagar,  was an Egyptian (Hamite) princess. Jews reckon heritage through the mother. Muslims through the father.

That is why muslims rape conquered peoples, in order to make more muslims.

Man who gives a fuck about the middle east! The Jews,Arabs,Persians,Turks have been fighting each other since the dawn of civilization. Why cant we just leave the middle east and let these factions go all out in a war and destroy each other. I am sick and tired of us meddling in a region that knows only violence. There will never be peace in the middle east,only war and chaos. Lets us leave that region and let them destroy themselves. Being globocop and giving foreign military aid has only bankrupted us. End foreign military aid to Egypt,Israel,Turkey,Palestine,Yemen,Saudi Arabia.Bahrain,Iraq,Pakistan,Oman,Kuwait,Afghanistan,Pakistan etc. Let the various fight each other. Let them clear the bad blood if they want war so much."

Whilst we admire the spirit, the practical thinker within me says:

"Bring some chain, learn how to make a grappling hook". At the very least, bring an angle grinder, and cut through the chain link fence.

But hey, (and pay attention now), here's the rub:

 

They're ill educated (some of them, at least after the West bombed their universities - +10 points if anyone knows why Beirut got attacked by proxy CIA way back in the '80's... Hint: it was financial, not political reasoning) but at least they're alive. Naive to think this will change anything, but alive.

 

 

More than I see in the West. And if we're having to queue up to justify our humanity in the next big pogrom, they're +100 points over someone guzzling on MSM and thinking the world will never change.

A wild guess: The usual answer in the case of polar-opposite camps is: "When both camps STFU or in other ways stop opposing each other." While this does not yet fix the problem, it allows people get to work who actually want to solve the root issues. Problem is that any such "ceasefire" can be abused by a party to get an advantage.

May apply here, or may not.

Your sense of history fails you:

AD 10ish:

Jewish Nationalists: We're revolting, fuck you Romans!

Roman Empire: Ok kids, STFU. Not paying taxes? Sigh. Ok then - we're sending garrisons in and hiking up taxes and rescinding tax rights from Herod to Pilate.

King Herod [likes whores]: WuT?

R.E.: Deal with it loser - spend less on whores and frankincense & run your kindom.

Pharisees [actually Sadducees, but let's ignore Biblical propaganda, shall we?]: HA HA

AD 29

King Herod [KH]: I totally like beheaded this false prophet John Dude

PH: +1 for Jewish victory. Stomp these millennium fuckers already

JN: Aww, messiah = we kill all Romans, KK? :(

RE: Cool, keep that shit down, we've got problems with Visi/Emo Goths

AD 30

<New player joins game>

Jesus [Big J]: Hi, I'm like a newb here, how to you play this game? Like wut are the controls?

<Ghost of> John: Hey! I totally called you logging in dude, before I got fragged.

Big J: Ye, you like poured water on me and shit. Sucks you got fragged. Guess I should form a party & get shit moving

KH: Wut?

PH: Wut?

RE: FFS - Can't you police your trolls Jew-boys?

Big J: Hey, calm down, calm down, I'm only like making water into wine n shit

KH: OH GREAT! THANKS. THERE GOES THE VINEYARD BUSINESS YOU TOSSER

...And so on.

Top hint: Israel ceased to exist circa AD 70 because the religious nutcakes pissed off their rulers [Roman Empire] enough for the Roman Empire to 'pull a Carthage' [here's a hint, for the narcissistic self-involved religious types: they had form, you tards, and even stated it legally when they made your country a province. So stop with the "we're so special" bullshit] and the Jewish fruitcakes couldn't fight for shit [got wiped out] and then mass-suicided [no really, they did - after the Romans pulled an "epic feat of engineering" with storming the rock pinacles].

 

Tldr;

The middle east is largely dull, and anyone educated doesn't have to descend into antisemitism or racism or even general anti-Zionism to know that.... Ye God(s) [oi vei] what a load of self-obsessed narcissistic wankers have lived there for a thousand years or so.

p.s.

I am a celt. I want the entire of England back from the evil fucking Danes [Vikings], then Germans [Anglo-Saxons], then French [Saxons] then Dutch [William of Orange] and then....Oh, wait. That only took less than 500 years? Sucks if you're claiming a 2000 year old book as your reference.

No really. This is how insane Zionists [not Jew/ish people, note] are. You're batshit insane, and somehow guilted people into $1.3 billion a year of weapons to make your insanity "true". Sorry, it isn't. Bat. Shit. Crazy. People.

 

p.p.s.

We note that a leading ultra-orthadox Jewish scholar has predicted that the "real Messiah" [note: Jesus / Muhammad were only prophets, not the "Messiah"] is arriving this year. Here's to him [like, lol.. would love it if it was a she, but that's probably "anti-Jewish"] not arriving to see a plane of glowing green in the dark glass welcoming him to his new realm.

let's face it , one the big problems that the anti-federal reserve movement has is that it is popopulated by people that think the u.s. military policy can be severed in negotiation from an attempt to negotiate/restructure/default on our national debt. 

 

it can't. the u.s. military will always have a natural ally and interest in israel, because it is the only western nation in the middle east with nukes, with a secular culture, and with an interest in controlling the oil rich nations that dominate our oil relationships. 

unfortunately, the progressive's attempt at influencing domestic money policy will be impaired by  unrealistic hopes of casting israel as a major oppresor that must be abandoned by the u.s. military. it's not going to happen , and thus you make ZH and the movement to get the u.s. back to sound money generally less likely.

At depka.com they are spinning this entirely different. They were making fun of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine for lack of orgnization on their "attack on borders". That was the first article I read on this today, as I have been out of town. I got the link from WRH.

 

So I was happy to find this more obviously true scenario of what is happening. There were clamp downs by Israel on the upcoming Nakba, so this makes logical sense, whereas the depka article looks like propaganda.

How much more can these Palestinians take from these fake Israelites?

 

How about Jimmy Carter? Hardly nothing in the news about the pro-Israelis that are suing him over his book about Palestine.

http://www.americanpendulum.com/2011/05/jimmy-carter-being-sued-for-5-mi...

Two of the people suing are dual citizens of Israel/US.

The pro-Zionist junta killed one unarmed protestor outside the embassy of Apartheid Israel and forbid the Egyptian people from marching to the Rafah Crossing.

They, like (Mu)Barak, are all about the Benjamins.

However what they did yesterday will very possibly ignite a new wave of demonstrations in Egypt to amplify the REVOLUTION that has, thus far, done little to improve anything other the consciousness of the working masses.

Don't fret. It's all "under control."

"The Colombians had entered the United Arab Emirates posing as construction workers. In fact, they were soldiers for a secret American-led mercenary army being built by Erik Prince, the billionaire founder of Blackwater Worldwide, with $529 million from the oil-soaked sheikdom.

Mr. Prince, who resettled here last year after his security business faced mounting legal problems in the United States, was hired by the crown prince of Abu Dhabi to put together an 800-member battalion of foreign troops for the U.A.E., according to former employees on the project, American officials and corporate documents obtained by The New York Times."

Israel is a great democracy.  They even allow Palestinian citizens to vote and to be members of the Knesset, where they decry the very government that gives them rights.  Palestinians are not able to vote in ANY OTHER COUNTRY!  Wake up and smell the coffee people.  Israel is a great, thriving country that contributes many great innovations to the world.  The Arab countries are filled with poor, illiterates who are controlled by the Imams. Arab countries have fewer books published, patents issued and inventions than any other countries in the world due to their backwardness.  All they care about is killing the Jews.  7 Million Jews in a tiny piece of real estate are "bullying" 200 million Arabs surrounding them on all sides.

Talking about cleansing: where are the all Christians that ounce lived in the Middle East?  Does a Christian in Middle East has any rights? The persecution in the Middle East is not that of Jews vs Arabs, but Islam vs Christianity. It's the Islamist caliphiate all over again -Islam as the supreme religion of the world but this time they don't come in to convert you: they come to murder you.
