"Peaceful" Protestors in Israel

The IDF has maintained the view that Jawaher Abu Rahma, did not die from inhalation of tear gas during a "Peace Protest".  

The news reported that  Jawaher Abu Rahma, 36, had inhaled tear gas fired by the IDF and died as a result. The story was further played up with the claim that she was the sister of an Arab who was killed in Bilin in 2009 after being struck by a tear gas canister. Once again the Palestinians and their anarchist, anti-Israel groupies have managed to pull off another hoax on the world at large. Nothing says publicity like a grieving mother holding her dead daughter's photo. 

What is particularly disgusting is the continuous abuse of grieving families. Any death is horrendous, but to use a tragedy to spin anti-Israel lies is just plain vulgar.

Although the Palestinians claim the protest was peaceful, photos of the scene have shown just the opposite. Below is a film of the riot that took place at Bil'in on 07 January. This is the scene that takes place week after week, without fail. Listen to the warnings, the IDF  gives in English and Hebrew, and the warnings not to cross the yellow gate, all of which are totally ignored. Watch  the soldiers who do not show any signs of aggression as they are being pelted with stones. These are the Peace Activists you hear about in the news.  This is what they call "peaceful protests".  Think about it--these are the peace-makers...
