Today marks the anniversary of Israel’s victory in the 6 Day war. Realizing they can’t defeat Israel militarily, they are using a new tactic. The Islamists are using unarmed human protestors to harass Israel’s borders. This tactic is being done to force Israel to use violent force and make them look bad.
MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights – Israeli troops on Sunday battled hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters who tried to burst across Syria’s frontier with the Golan Heights, killing a reported 20 people and wounding scores more in the second outbreak of deadly violence in the border area in less than a month.
The clashes, marking the anniversary of the Arab defeat in the 1967 Mideast war, drew Israeli accusations that Syria was orchestrating the violence to shift attention away from a bloody crackdown on opposition protests at home. The marchers, who had organized on Facebook, passed by Syrian and U.N. outposts on their way to the front lines.
“The Syrian government is trying to created a provocation,” said Israel’s chief military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai. “This border has been quiet for decades, but only now with all the unrest in Syrian towns is there an attempt to draw attention to the border.”
The Assad regime is in trouble in Syria. They are trying to distract from these troubles by instigating incidenst with Israel. Plus they are trying to get sympathy from the world by making Israel look bad.
These people are sick.
