If it’s Friday, this must be Biilin. I didn’t get around last week to linking the weekly riot. But there’s today’s:

A Border Police officer and four protesters - two of them Israeli citizens - were hurt during the weekly anti-security fence protest in Bil’in on Friday afternoon.

The Border Police officer broke his arm when protesters threw rocks at the security forces in the area.

IDF and Border Police troops dispersed the protesters using tear gas and stun grenades.

And here’s a report on last week’s fence riot, where the protesters got more violent than usual, and of course, blamed it all on the border guards.

At least 14 protestors and two officers were injured during violent protests against the security fence near Bilin, Friday afternoon. Some of the injured protestors are Israeli citizens, including known anarchist Jonathan Pollack.

An IDF officer, whose leg appears to have been broken, was wounded during an altercation with protestors. A border guard police officer was injured, also in the leg, from rocks thrown during the rally.

And let’s listen to how the “peace” protestors lie:

A protestor by the name of Kobi added: “We marched towards the fence and sat on the ground. Police and soldiers immediately began to shoot brutally with stun grenades and rubber bullets.”

He explained that crowd dispersal was undertaken by a unit of soldiers who had not been present at previous protests (which have taken
place in the village every Friday for the past two years) and described the troops as unusually violent.

Uh-huh. What’s the other side to the story?

The IDF had a slightly different story, reporting that the forces had responded with crowd dispersal gear when the protest this Friday became particularly severe, causing the injury of an IDF officer. As mentioned, a border guard police officer was also injured.

Figures. But notice this little tidbit towards the end:

The Bilin area calmed down after about an hour. Shortly afterwards, there were a number of similar clashes between IDF forces and Palestinians, during riots near Kalandia and Bitania, north of Jerusalem.

In one such incident, Palestinians threw Molotov cocktails at IDF forces north-east of Ramallah. Palestinians also opened fire at an Israeli civilian vehicle during a violent riot near the Kalandia refugee camp. There were no ensuing casualties or damages in either incident.

Interesting. So these were coordinated attacks in several places. Funny, how those “spontaneous” riots by the pals never seem so spontaneous when you look at the overall picture.

Yep. The ISM and PalSolidarity. They’re all about the peace.

Not.

Putting out a few fires and other work busy-ness have been keeping me offline today.

But it also keeps me in food and shelter, so I’m not complaining.

The news media reports on the Mecca Agreement, but never really tells you what it says other than that it got Hamas and Fatah to stop shooting at each other and agree to share power. Here is the full text if you wish to read it, but the pertinent part of the agreement is this:

Third: to move ahead in measures to activate and reform the Palestine Liberation Organisation and accelerate the work of the preparatory committee based on the Cairo and Damascus Understandings.

What is the Cairo Understanding? Well, here’s a post I wrote a while back on the Cairo agreement. You can read the full text here. And an excerpt below:

Cairo Declaration:

(1) Those gathered confirmed their adherence to Palestinian principles, without any neglect, and the right of the Palestinian people to resistance in order to end the occupation, establish a Palestinian state with full sovereignty with Jerusalem as its capital, and the guaranteeing of the right of return of refugees to their homes and property.

“Resistance” is the codeword for suicide bombings, stonings, stabbings, firebombings, murder, and all the mayhem the terrorists have been using over the past. There is also the real deal-breaker: The “right of return.” The Arab world refuses to so much as acknowledge that the fifth generation of descendants of the people who fled the war in 1948 will not be settled in Israel. It simply is not going to happen, and the so-called “right of return” is just another codeword for the destruction of the Jewish state—especially since the UN actually designates as refugees people who were born in the USA of parents whose parents or grandparents were refugees in 1948. The Arabs would give those people refugee status and say they have the right to settle in Tel Aviv, if they so desire, and that Israel must accomodate that right.

Never. Gonna. Happen.

The Mecca Agreement was made specifically for Hamas and Fatah to stop murdering one another—and civilians beside—before a real civil war broke out. The Cairo Agreement was an agreement between terrorist groups of much the same thing. The text of each of them was so clear that you can’t even call it a subtext: The documents call for the groups to stop fighting each other and traing their weapons instead on Israel.

In point of fact, Mahmoud Abbas, the so-called moderate leader of the Palestinian Authority, who was Yasser Arafat’s hand-picked replacement, and who also wrote a Holocaust-denying thesis, had this to say during the fighting:

“Shooting at your brother is forbidden. Raising rifles against the occupation is our legitimate right, but raising guns against each other is forbidden. We should put our internal fighting aside and raise our rifles only against the Israeli occupation,” said Abbas in a speech in the Muqata compound in Ramallah attended by World Net Daily.

I am not a big fan of World Net Daily, and it has a less than sterling reputation with many people. But that story was also carried by Ynet, the English-language version of Israel’s largest daily newspaper, and I respect the Ynet editors’ judgment. The AP reported on the speech but whitewashed the damning quote.

What you are not being told by the mainstream media is that the palestinians don’t want peace with Israel. They want the destruction of Israel by any means possible. If they can do it through demographics—by flooding Israel with millions of “refugees”—so much the better for them.

And that is the part of the 2002 Saudi peace plan (that has suddenly re-emerged as a “serious” document rather than the same irridentism that has been displayed for 40 years) that the Saudis want Israel to accept in full.

Once more, with feeling: Not. Gonna. Happen.

Not. Ever.
