Is the demise of the peace process leaving Palestinians losing hope
? | Inside Story

Published on Mar 31, 2018
The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for an independent investigation into the deaths of 17 Palestinians shot by Israeli forces during Friday's protests in Gaza.

More than 1,400 protesters were injured, half of them by Israeli gunfire.

The protestors were marking Land Day, when 2,000 hectares of land was confiscated from Palestinian citizens of Israel in 1976. Six people died in subsequent protests then.

As the two state solution peace process dies, are frustrations rising?

And can a Jewish majority in Israel be maintained if Palestinian refugees are ever allowed to return to their land?

Shooting 773 with Live Ammunition

going on to say

killing 16 and injuring 1,400. Journalist Max Blumenthal

is good and accurate of course, but

considering 14 or so were killed
posting this as in the REAL NEWS is giving an overly dramatic virtual scaremongering report of the incident

not impressed when you consider all other reports,a few days ago
i am glad i get my news from various sources
we know how volatile the situation has been for years but i do wonder re news/interpretation of news,and esp what/how its put out there by some at times

glad i cancelled my monthly donation to them


Israel Massacres Unarmed Gaza Protesters, Shooting 773 with Live Ammunition

The Israeli military brutally crushed a protest on the Gaza border led by tens of thousands of Palestinians, killing 16 and injuring 1,400. Journalist Max Blumenthal speaks of Israel's suffocating blockade of the strip and the biased media reporting on the "Great Return March."

K-Pop Concert in North Korea Signals Further Thaw

It’s a sign of harmony. A group of South Korean musicians, including K-pop band Red Velvet, gave a peace concert in Pyongyang Sunday, attended by Kim Jong Un and his wife. State media described the North Korean crowd clapping, cheering and singing along — and reported that Kim’s “heart swelled” and that he asked questions about the songs after the show. The performance coincided with South Korea and the U.S. beginning their annual joint military drills. A landmark summit between North and South Korea is set for April 27.

China Institutes New Tariffs on American Foods
How do you like them apples? After President Donald Trump levied high tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum, Beijing has responded in kind with duties on 128 American goods, including tariffs of 15 percent on fruit and 25 percent on pork. China’s finance ministry says the penalties are necessary to balance damage done by Trump’s punishing tariffs, which it claims violate global trading rules. Later this week, the Trump administration is expected to announce a list of Chinese products it identifies as intellectual property violations.

a diffeent and perhaps mie accurate report on that iolence

Israeli defense official threatened owners of Gaza bus companies in days before protest
hOrdMh0zxS8SgrDc56eVV7sJlIbGGymT7azehAn1pya8xXM2V17ljPm7HnfAdeqjqfBVoeuxLZzfEKgUoOgn31TYZy9aN203TVOs2lSB703Lxt_3trjriHogsUUZzp10GObt43w0z-rN6OVM56dvidz6ARa-z6o3CEgbTwUoWI3nWDBu7U56lp2PzwLiSKWYc583SUI=s0-d-e1-ft

Liberman: Israeli soldiers "deserve a medal"

Shlomi Eldar reports that the Israeli defense establishment was feeling “nervous” in advance of the "Great Return March" protest, including an unusual threat by the Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) warning the owners of 20 Gaza bus companies that "you and your families will be held personally responsible" if their buses brought protesters to the border.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the European Union and international human rights organizations have called for an independent investigation into violent clashes at the Gaza fence March 30, where as many as 30,000 Gaza residents demonstrated against the Israeli blockade. Fifteen Palestinians were killed and as many as 1,000 injured by the Israeli military. On March 31, the United States blocked a draft UN Security Council statementcalling for an investigation.

While Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have claimed that Israel responded with live ammunition against protesters who were not armed with anything more than stones and tires, the Israeli government has responded that its forces were hit by Molotov cocktails and that most of those killed or injured were linked to Hamas, which Israel considers a terrorist organization.

“Israeli soldiers did what was necessary,” Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said April 1. He added, “I think all our soldiers deserve a medal. … As for a commission of inquiry — there won't be one."

Hamas had planned the Great Return March on March 31 as a show of both force and desperation in the context of a crisis in Palestinian leadership, and the alarming economic and humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, as foreshadowed by Eldar’s column on March 29, as well as reporting by Al-Monitor’s Palestinian Pulse columnists, and a recent UN report.

North Korea ignores US-South Korea military drills
North Korea has remained unusually silent as US and South Korea military drills kick off. Does the Kim regime's softer tone indicate it is ready to enter negotiations over its weapons program? Julian Ryall reports.

The joint US-South Korea Foal Eagle and Key Resolve military exercises began on Sunday with nearly 300,000 South Korean military personnel and 11,500 US troops involved in a series of field drills and computer-based tabletop exercises.

In previous years, the commencement of Foal Eagle would have provoked a barrage of propaganda from Pyongyang decrying the drills as a prelude to an invasion of the North and the forerunner of a nuclear exchange.

However, North Korea has suspended its rhetoric this year, warning of a conflict engulfing the Korean Peninsula.

Saudi Prince to Visit Hollywood Royalty
He’s going Hollywood. Heir apparent Mohammed bin Salman will be visiting the likes of Rupert Murdoch, super-agent Ari Emanuel and Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger on his tour of Tinseltownthis week. Though Saudi Arabia only reversed its ban on public cinemas last year, the kingdom has pledged $10 billion for film investments in the coming decade — and Hollywood is rolling out the red carpet to get a share of Saudi cash. Meanwhile, the prince will be met by protests from Codepink over his country’s record of human rights abuses.

Netanyahu scraps deal on residency for African migrants
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a deal that could have seen thousands of African migrants relocated to Europe and Canada. Under the agreement, thousands more migrants would stay in Israel.



Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he had met with Israeli residents in Tel Aviv and decided to cancel the agreement.

The Israeli prime minister, who suspended the deal on Monday, spoke to disgruntled Israelis living in and near "Little Africa" - the part of Tel Aviv that has attracted the largest migrant community in Israel.

The decision followed complaints from nationalist members of Netanyahu's government, who had said the deal was "bad for Israel."

"I have listened carefully to the many comments on the agreement. As a result, and after I again weighed the advantages and disadvantages, I decided to cancel the deal," a statement from the prime minister's office quoted Netanyahu as saying at the session.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman says Israel has 'right' to homeland
Saudi Arabia's de facto leader has explicitly acknowledged Israel's right to its own homeland, a first for a senior official from the kingdom. However, he also made a bizarre comparison between Hitler and Iran's leader.



Israel has a "right" to a homeland alongside the Palestinians, Saudi Arabia's influential crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, said on Monday in an interview with US magazine The Atlantic.

Asked whether the "Jewish people have a right to a nation-state in at least part of their ancestral homeland," bin Salman said: "I believe the Palestinians and the Israelis have the right to have their own land."

Countdown begins to Putin-Erdogan-Rouhani talks

Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to travel to Turkey Tuesday for a two-day visit that will showcase warming ties between the two historical foes.

The Russian leader joined his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, for an Ankara ceremony to officially inaugurate Turkey’s first nuclear power plant, Akkuyu, in the southern Mediterranean province of Mersin. It is being built by Russia’s state Atomic Energy Agency, ROSATOM. A first reactor is slated for completion in 2023, marking the centennial of the modern republic founded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
