It’s a human wave! In a repeat of last month’s assault on Israel’s borders, an enormous horde of refugees has once more stormed the Jewish state from Syria. What do they want?
They say they’re commemorating yet another “catastrophe,” last month being the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, and this time (Naksa Day – the "setback") Israel’s victory in the 1967 Six Day War, in which they conquered the West Bank and Gaza, the Sinai, and the Golan Heights. It’s their way of ramping up the pressure on Israel to recognize a Palestinian state, where these refugees can presumably settle. But it looks like what they really want is to get themselves killed! That way, they can claim that those dastardly Israelis, who not only took “their land” but have added another slaughter to their infamous legacy.
I suppose it’s a measure of their great respect for life… They know the Israeli Defense Force has no choice but to open fire when a mass of people is storming the border, which can only mean they’ve got a suicide wish. Brilliant! Realistically, the international media ought to be looking at this crazy horde of border-breakers and shouting “Stupido!” What are you thinking? But instead, the propaganda mills will be working overtime, branding these “underdogs” as martyrs for the cause of Palestine.
Wouldn’t it be great if any population who wanted to take over somebody else’s country could just storm their border en-masse? Or maybe some sort of exchange could be worked out. The Mexican population could take over America, while the Americans set up shop in Mexico. Perhaps the Palestinians could take over Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem, while the Israelis take over Syria. Wasn’t President Obama talking about “land swaps”? That could solve everything!
