JP was on top of this story:
In a protest organized by a coalition of left-wing movements, over 1,000 people demonstrated at the Erez border crossing on Saturday in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the residents of Sderot, under the slogan: “Stop the siege on Gaza: A demonstration for Gaza and for Sderot.”
I, however, just heard on the radio (on the wireless for you Brits) the bit they missed:
The protest dispersed after a Qassam rocket, followed by a few mortar shells, landed in the vicinity of the Erez border crossing.
Yep…

Update from Meryl: The JPost seems to have withdrawn this aspect of the story. It’s no longer in the article.
Update from STG: The JPost didn’t have this tidbit at all, sorry for misunderstanding. As I have mentioned (not clear enough, as it appears), the Qassam + mortar shells were reported via radio (Army Radio around 19:00), while the JP article timing is 14:50.
Update from Meryl: Oh. Never mind.
No doubt those damned Israelis got Hamas to do that for them.
I just watched my local Minneapolis FOX news affiliate, they had a video showing the GAZA strip breech as a wide open border to Egypt, then a clip of the protest march in Israel. No mention that the “The protest dispersed after a Qassam rocket, followed by a few mortar shells, landed in the vicinity of the Erez border crossing.”
So much for FOX being “fair and balanced.”
Herschel, I think the story as it was initially put out was in error. It no longer carries a report of a kassam breaking up the protest.
I have an email out to Snoopy, but Israel is seven hours later than our time, so it’s the middle of the night there.
People who hold a demonstration in favor of the Palis as well as in “support” of the residents of Sderot, whom the Palis are showering with rockets trying to kill them, are people unable to reason from proposition A to proposition B, let alone to some logical conclusion from the two propositions.
