Gaza (New)

BT: you write,....''the Israelis are depriving the people of Gaza basic human rights'', What I consider as,

Universal Declaration of Human Rights = Right to Equality, their belief is in the Koran ,is there equality there between men and women?
Right to Life, Liberty, Personal Security = Does Hamas grant them these things?
Freedom from Slavery. = They can leave Gaza if Hamas approves of it !
Freedom from Torture and Degrading Treatment. = Completely! OK if you belong to Hamas,if you don't ??
Right to Recognition as a Person before the Law. = Does Hamas grant them these basic rights?

I do not think in Gaza, ''the Israelis are depriving the people of Gaza basic human rights''. You mean Hamas !!!

'' demolishing their homes,'' Sure they fire thousands of rockets ,thousands! I was in S'derot in 2009, by then they fired hundreds of rocket'd some 'home made' We have to defend ourselves ! By the way the Syrians last 2 weeks have demolished the Palestinian Refugee Camp in Yarmuk, near Damascus .But the Media wa sin complete silence , ( maybe thats OK thats internal matters !)

How the hell can you justify that? ???

Pictures of old scrap metal does not justify killing sixty unharmed civilians.

Even if they had broken through the barbed wire perimeter, any protester could easily be arrested and brought to trial.

Not one protester was armed with a weapon or had suicide vests on.

Arbitrary slaughter of innocent protesters is not helping Israel's cause IMHO.

Even if they had broken through the barbed wire perimeter,

Why were they trying to break through the perimeter BT ? What was the point ?

Expelled Israeli ambassador humiliated at Istanbul airport

After he was expelled from Turkey, Ambassador Eitan Na'eh made to go through strict security check at airport in front of Turkish media cameras, which were especially invited to cover his departure; Foreign Ministry summons no.2 Turkish diplomat in Israel for reprimand.

Na'eh was also asked to remove his shoes, following which a Turkish security guard patted him down. "This was an intentional humiliation," an Israeli official said. "The journalists were invited to the airport and taken into the sterile area of a Turkish Airlines flight, where security checks are done right before boarding."

Returning to Israel, Na'eh said he always has to undergo security checks at the Istanbul airport, but that this was the only time cameras were brought in to witness it. "There's no place like Israel," Na'eh added.

Because of the on-camera humiliation, the no. 2 diplomat in the Turkish mission in Israel, Umut Deniz, was summoned by the Foreign Ministry for a reprimand.

Upon his arrival at the Foreign Ministry, Deniz was asked to present his identification at the entrance—Israel's response to the humiliation of Na'eh.

In her meeting with Deniz, the director of the Foreign Ministry's Southern Europe Department, Iris Ambor, "expressed Israel's strong protest to the outrageous Turkish conduct," adding that "Israel cannot tolerate such behavior towards its representative. This behavior constitutes a blatant violation of the diplomatic code of conduct common among nations. This position has also been made clear directly to Ankara as well."

50 members of the Hamas terror organization were among those killed in the protests along the Gaza border on Monday, according to a Hamas spokesperson. Monday's violence on the border, which took place as the United States opened its new embassy in Jerusalem, was the bloodiest for Palestinians since the 2014 Gaza conflict.

IDF tanks were ordered to fire at Hamas positions within the northern Gaza Strip in retaliation to gunshots fired earlier at IDF soldiers along the strip's border, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said. There were no casualties among the Israeli forces.

Hamas accepted four trucks of aid supplied by the Palestinian Authority and two trucks supplied by UNICEF, but two further truckloads of medical aid provided by the IDF were turned away when the origin of the equipment became apparent.

In addition to 53 tons of medical equipment set to be transported into Gaza this week via the crossing, the increased Israeli aid included more than 14,000 units of intravenous infusions, 40 medical basins, 20 medical examination couches, 25 infusion stands, 85,000 disinfectant pads and 12,500 bandages.

A joint investigation by the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) concluded that at least 24 of the Palestinians killed during Monday’s clashes were members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad

Members of the Knesset in response concluded that the time had come to recognize the Armenian genocide by the Turks, a move Israel had previously avoided in order not to harm diplomatic relations with Turkey. MK Shmuly emphasized that “We won’t accept moralizing from the antisemitic Turkish butcher who bombs thousands of Kurds in northwest Syria every day, and whose country is responsible for the genocide of the Armenian people and the historic horrors toward the Assyrians,” adding later that recognition of the genocide should have happened long ago.

Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid sponsored a bill to recognize the Armenian genocide earlier this year, but it was voted down in February, which means it cannot be submitted again until August.
Lapid called for Israel to downgrade ties with Ankara permanently along with recognizing the Armenian genocide, openly helping the Kurds and encouraging the US to try to remove Turkey from NATO.
