April 28, 2018 -- Week Five of Protests at Gaza-Israeli Fence


The fourth week of protests at the Gaza-Israeli boarder resulted in the deaths of three Gazans who were shot by Israeli troops.  Hundreds of others were wounded.  The recent boarder conflicts have seen a number of responses.  On the one hand, the United Nations human rights leader criticized Israel for its “excessive force” against the protesters.  On the other, Israel claims that it is following rules of engagement in order to protect its boarders.  In a surprising development, a leading Palestinian official,  Mahmoud al-Habash, criticized Hamas for sending children into the border conflict.  Al-Habash’s words were praised by Israel, but criticized by Hamas.
