"Israel Braces for 'Day of Rage' After Deadly Overnight Protests" by Lawahez Jabari, Yael Factor and F. Brinley Bruton
EAST JERUSALEM, Israel - Thousands of Israeli security forces were deployed around Jerusalem’s Old City on Friday as Palestinian leaders called for a “day of rage” after the biggest protests in years shook the West Bank overnight.
Further demonstrations were planned at mosques after Friday prayers as a sign of solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli strikes have killed more than 800 since July 8. It was the first time in almost a decade that the Palestinian Authority gave permission for such a march, making a dramatic shift in relations between President Mahmoud Abbas's government and Israel.
Israeli forces were put on high
alert. The entrance to the Temple Mount and al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem
-- which have been flash points in the past -- were being restricted to
women, and men aged 50 and over.
Overnight, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian protester and wounded about 200 in the occupied West Bank,
Palestinian medical officials said, as an estimated 10,000 demonstrated
against Israel's offensive in Gaza. Israel Radio reported that the
demonstrations appeared to be the largest since the end of a 2000-2005
Palestinian uprising, known as the Second Intifada.
Violence flared at
Kalandiya checkpoint north of Jerusalem as Israeli security forces
clashed with demonstrators trying to march to Jerusalem. Masked
protesters opened fire and threw stones and firebombs, as security
forces returned fire and dispersed them with stun grenades and tear gas.
Twenty-six Israeli police officers were injured, according to
officials. Police arrested about 40 alleged rioters....
On Thursday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon made an impassioned plea for Israel and Hamas to end their conflict and condemned the shelling of a U.N.-run school in the Gaza Strip that killed 15 civilians.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization called for a humanitarian corridor to be set up in Gaza to allow aid workers to evacuate the wounded and bring in life-saving medicines.

Declassified: Massive Israeli manipulation of US media exposed
Oh.
I'm going to give you what I read in print in the order I read it:
CAIRO — A series of explosions at a school run by the United Nations, which was sheltering hundreds of Palestinians who had fled Israeli military assaults, killed at least 16 people and wounded many more.
Many Palestinians initially presumed an Israeli strike had hit the shelter at the UN school, but the Israeli military suggested soon afterward that errant Palestinian-fired munitions might have been the source. The local director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs the school, said he could not be sure.
"Might" have been?
This is standard Israeli propaganda when bad public relations surface off their war criminal actions. We have seen it before, and besides, anything that comes out of Israel's mouth is a lie. That ship has sailed.
It was the third time that shelters set up in schools have been struck during the current conflict. The UN a gency, which is helping Palestinians displaced by the conflict, said more than 140,000 residents of Gaza were now staying in 83 schools where it runs shelters.
Israeli officials denied having intentionally targeted the school and said they had warned the United Nations three days earlier that the school should be evacuated because the surrounding area was a combat zone.
Now it is not that the Palestinians might have done it, but Israel didn't do it on purpose and they warned you three days ago.
The civilians who had taken refuge in the school had been gathering in the courtyard preparing to flee just when it was hit multiple times, witnesses said.
The explosions (print says shelling of the school) came on the 17th day of an increasingly bloody conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza, came as Secretary of State John Kerry was pushing intensively to achieve a cease-fire.
He's flying home this afternoon.
Here is where I started getting angry.
Whoever was responsible for the school casualties, it was the kind of event that could increase diplomatic pressure on the combatants to stop the fighting, which has killed nearly 800 people in Gaza. On the Israeli side, 32 soldiers and three civilians have been killed.
Well, Hamas doesn't want to stop if the blockade stays in place, so no motive there, but the more important thing is the qualifying "whoever is responsible" from the Jewish War Press as if it doesn't matter!
United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon, who was in the region this week to try to advance cease-fire efforts and met with Kerry, said in a statement that he was “appalled” by the school attack.
“Many have been killed, including women and children, as well as U.N. staff,” he said, adding that United Nations staff had been trying throughout the day to arrange a pause in the hostilities so that civilians could be evacuated.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said at least 16 people had been killed and “a large number” wounded at the Beit Hanoun school.
A senior Israeli military official, Brigadier General Michael Edelstein, the commander of the Gaza division, told reporters in a telephone briefing that he did not yet know what had happened. “If we made a mistake, we will say it,” he said.
Gone from might be Palestinians to Israel but not on purpose to we will admit it if mistake....
He said Israel was not acting intentionally against any United Nations infrastructure in Gaza. “We would never bomb such a place,” he said.
Except THEY HAVE and THEY DO! Once is a mistake, twice or more is intent!
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said said Israeli troops did not aim at the school but that fighting was raging nearby and several rockets launched at Israel had fallen short and landed in the area.
How can those Palestinian rockets be a threat to anyone but their own people then? They never hit anything in Israel!(?)
“There was combat there, and we have to determine whether it has anything to do with us,” he said.
Answer will be nope, not us.
Colonel Lerner said Israel had asked the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross on Monday to evacuate the school because both Palestinian militants and the Israeli Army were active nearby. Word came on Thursday that an evacuation was being prepared, he said, but the school was hit soon after.
15 minutes later they told me.
"They, unfortunately, did not comply three days ago," Lerner said.
That comment has been TOTALLY SCRUBBED from the web.
Yeah, it was ALL THEIR OWN FAULT even if ISRAEL DID DO IT!
Jacques De Maio, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross delegation for Israel and the Occupied Territories, the only humanitarian agency currently on the ground in Beit Hanoun, said by telephone that Beit Hanoun represented a “conundrum” where “you have civilians and military targets that are simply too close to each other.” That did not exonerate either side, he said.
Israeli officials have said UNRWA schools are places where militants store and launch rockets. Twice during this conflict, rockets have been discovered at schools. Some Israelis have complained that the UN agency personnel turned the rockets over to the security services affiliated with Hamas.
I'm sorry I no longer believe anything Israel says. Sorry. So sorry. So very sorry. So very, very sorry.
UN officials said the schools are packed with Gazans, and they fear just one errant shell could kill more people. Fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas militants continued Thursday, with more rockets launched from Gaza deep into Israel."
Oh, right, the genocide continues as Israel is under rocket fire. PFFFT!
That is where the print version ended it, it has all been scrubbed from the web or rewritten and reedited. WTF?!!!!!
What's with the shift of focus as Kerry returns empty-handed, 'eh?
Among the unresolved issues is an Israeli proposal that its troops be allowed to remain in Gaza during the truce.
Talk about a deal-breaker! Israeli troops get to stay as Hamas is disarmed! No wonder Kerry is returning home with nothing to show for it.
Blasts Kill 16 Seeking Haven at Gaza School" by BEN HUBBARD and JODI RUDOREN
I thought I would add these seeing as I took the time to search it out:
As the Palestinians gathered in the courtyard on Thursday, believing they were about to be bused elsewhere, blasts tore through the crowd, killing 16 people and sending scores of wounded, mostly women and children, streaming into local hospitals.
The source of the blasts was unclear, setting off recriminations between Israelis and Palestinians over which side was responsible. People in the school reported three to five blasts and accused Israel of shelling them. Israel suggested that rockets fired by militants might have fallen short of their targets or that the school might have been hit with errant shells from either side in fighting nearby. The United Nations said it could not confirm the source of the blasts.
But the world knows Ukrainian rebels shot down an airliner.
“We went to the school to be safe,” said Mohammed Shinbary, kneeling on the floor of a hospital here and cradling his wounded 7-year-old daughter Aya. “And then they hit the school.”
This particular school is run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, known as Unrwa, which provides services to Palestinian refugees across the Middle East. But Gaza’s unique makeup gives Unrwa an outsize role in the small, coastal enclave.
More than 70 percent of Gaza’s 1.7 million people are registered refugees, most of them descended from Palestinians who fled or were forced to leave their homes during the war over Israel’s creation in 1948.
It is what they call the Nakba, the Catastrophe, and was/is nothing short of Zionist ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The extensive services Unrwa provides in Gaza give it a status similar to that of a government. It runs hundreds of schools and medical centers, oversees infrastructure projects and provides regular food aid to about half the population. It is Gaza’s second largest employer and has remained as governments and occupations have come and gone for more than 60 years.
Well, it is TIME for GAZA to be FREE and INDEPENDENT!
Time for the ISRAELI SIEGE to END so Gaza can CONDUCT BUSINESS with the OUTSIDE WORLD and not be dependent on an impotent to protect UN!
“We are the only constant in Gaza,” said Robert Turner, Unrwa’s director for Gaza.
Gazans call it simply “the agency.”
It is this long relationship, Mr. Turner said, that has led 150,000 Gazans — more than 8 percent of the population — to seek refuge from the war in Unrwa’s schools.
The attack on Thursday came after both the United Nations and Israel realized that those sheltering in the school were in danger but before they could be moved elsewhere.
Mr. Turner of the United Nations said his office had told Israel that hundreds of people were sheltering in the school and provided its coordinates — 12 times — most recently at 10:56 a.m. Thursday.
Don't do that anymore. You give coordinates, Israel hits it. Doesn't that tell you something?
He said that it was the only shelter in Beit Hanoun where the agency was still providing services, after others had been deemed too dangerous, and that the Israeli warnings had made the United Nations decide to withdraw its staff and tell the Gazans it was no longer safe.
Mr. Turner said the United Nations had not confirmed the source of the blasts. He added that in the earlier instances when schools had been hit, he was “certain” that Israel was responsible.
We all are, no matter what lame-ass rational, sophistry, or excuse they trot out. This is genocide!
But an Israeli official who coordinates with international organizations said this week that he had provided military commanders with coordinates of 523 sensitive sites to avoid. He showed reporters a graphic with dates and times of rockets being launched from several such sites — including a mosque, a hospital and a playground — in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City.
“It’s easy to blame us. ‘Why are you hitting that hospital?’ Why not blame them? Why are you launching from those sensitive places?” said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity under military rules.
Yeah, you guys are always the most persecuted on the planet -- as the bodies of Palestinians are stacked up.
"At 90, Shimon Peres ends his term as Israel’s president" by Tia Goldenberg | Associated Press July 25, 2014
JERUSALEM — Although the globe-trotting elder statesman has made clear he has no intention to retire, few expect him to hold public office again, after a career that dates to the 1940s and has seen him occupy almost every major government position in the land.
Does he get a gold watch?
‘‘I did not imagine that in the last days of my presidency I would be called upon, once more, to comfort bereaved families,’’ Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shimon Peres, 90, said in his speech at the handover ceremony. He blamed the militant group Hamas for starting the current war by firing barrages of rockets at Israel, but also emphasized that ‘‘Israel is not the enemy of the people of Gaza.’’
*******************
Peres once struggled for popularity, widely seen as an opportunistic political operator. Having never served in the army, he lacked the halo that propelled ex-generals like Moshe Dayan, Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon to political heights.
Since the 1980s he came to be associated with a single-minded drive to achieve peace with the Arabs that many in Israel considered naive and out of touch with the hostility toward Israel in the region. Undeterred, Peres published books like 1993’s ‘‘The New Middle East,’’ predicting a near future in which economic mutual interest trump ethnic and religious hatreds.
A leader of the center-left Labor Party, Peres lost elections in 1977, 1981, 1988 and 1996, managing a sort-of tie in 1984, even though under his rival, the incumbent Yitzhak Shamir, Israel’s inflation was running about 400 percent.
Considering such electoral futility, it is remarkable that he did serve for three brief terms as prime minister and has also been foreign minister, defense minister, and finance minister among many other posts.
