| 'There would be no killings if Hamas told protesters to stay away from border'-- Israeli PM spokesman |
| 2018-04-02 |
| [RT] The deaths during the 'Great Return' protest are the fault of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, says the Israeli Prime Minister's media front man. According to him, Israel was only defending from an "onslaught" of Paleostinians trying to cross the border. Speaking to RT, David Keyes, Benjamin Netanyahu's foreign media spokesperson, said the 'Great Return' protests staged by Paleostinians along the security border fence separating the enclave from the Israeli-held territory are the "opposite of peaceful protests." "The aim of this event is to swarm into Israel and overwhelm it, and it's a part of a long track record by Hamas of waging war against Israel, launching tens of thousands of missiles, conducting suicide kabooms against cafes, against civilians and in buses," Keys charged. He went on to argue that Israel essentially bears no responsibility for the deaths of 17 people and the injuries of hundreds more during the Friday festivities, as it only fought back against Hamas, which has been de facto in control of the Gazoo Strip. Hamas is, consequently, the one with the ability to rein in the violence, by demanding that its supporters stay clear of the border fence, Keys argued. |
