What Israel has to understand: KEEP THE MEDIA AWAY.

NO MEDIA...NO FAKE NEWS...

You don't must be a GENIUS to understand.

1.that those riots were well prepared en organised by people aswell in Gaza, aswell by organisations ioutside Gaza, espeacilly in EUROPA.

THEY AND NOT ISRAEL ARE RESPONSABLE FOR ALL THE CASUALTIES ON THE BORDERS OF ISRAEL..

HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT HUNDREDS OF SO CALLED JOURNALISTS FROM ALL OVER EUROPA , WERE ON THE SCENE.

EUROPA , AND THEIR COLLABOS FROM HAMAS HAVE INCITED THOSE MORRONS TO RISK THEIR LIVES...PRESENTING THOSE RIOTS AND VIRULENT PROVOCATIONS AS ..CONSIDERED BEING PACEFULL.

THAT KIND OF SO CALLED MANIFESTATIONS IN IRAN, TURKEY.
, SYRIA, RUSSIA, WOULD CAUSE MUCH MORE CASUALTIES.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

THAT'S WHY, ISRAEL HAS TO DO EVERYTHING TO KEEP ALL KIND OF PROVOCATEURS AWAY...

THE EUROPEAN MEDIA ARE THE ONLY GUILTY ...NOT ISRAEL
3. The Battle for Gaza won't be over until the slate is clean
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (05.16.18)
I am very sure it will outlive Alex Fishman and Netanyahu as it outlived Begin, Shamir, Rabin and Sharon.
4. Alex: I am a journalist like you: listen to me carefully:
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (05.16.18)
The battle for Gaza is actually the battle for Jerusalem. That is why it will outlive you and me. Try to Think beyond the moment. We are doomed to war without an end.......The Crusades! they stayed here 300 years. You are only 70.
5. You slaughter our kids in the morning, and offer Hamburgers
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (05.16.18)
in the afternoon! Oh, this won't work!
6. Totally irrelevant, predicted outcome
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (05.16.18)
People are the best weapon of all, low cost and self-activated for 50 shekels a head. That is the sum Hamas pays each rioter. For 50 shekels, Hamas gets a walking bomb, imbued with Hamas-produced anger, frustration and despair. That is the real story of what is happening at the border fence for the last few weeks, the reality that clearly exposes the reason Hamas is defined as a terror organization: the war it has declared on the residents of Gaza since the day it first took over their lives. Now it is sending them to their deaths, knowing full well that Israel will never, ever allow them to cross the fence to reach any kibbutz or moshav filled with men, women and children. The very thought of the horrific massacre that would ensue is terrifying.

Hamas is a terrorist organization not because of its war against Israel but because it has betrayed the residents of Gaza: Instead of an Islamic regime, it has instituted a regime based on fear. Instead of work, it has brought unemployment. Instead of hope, it has caused despair. Hamas rule has dragged the Gaza Strip into three rounds of violence with Israel
7. Why do peaceful demonstrators need a smoke screen?
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (05.17.18)
To hide their not so peaceful intentions
8. Hamas got a hiding yet again.....
Shachar ,   Eilat   (05.17.18)
So many commentators harp on about the PR war and what other countries say....it is totally irrelevant. Nobody in the world cares about Gaza, other Palestinians don't care about Gaza...nobody is going to care about a people that don't care about themselves. All Hamas's tactics were a complete flop, they failed to achieve anything whatsoever and they got hit hard. This is exactly the result we want every time they do something stupid. The IDF has done very well yet again, very impressed with this Chief of Staff.
9. Retake Gaza and avoid all these horrors
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.17.18)
Israel needs to do the thinking. The obvious truth is that before Israel fled Gaza, none of these horrible things happened. No Gaza wars. No Gaza terror. No Gaza rockets. We had thriving beautiful communities in Gaza. We can avoid infinitely more suffering by reversing our mad retreat from Gaza, and all our other foolish retreats and concessions to "Palestinians".
