Nikki Haley to UN on Gaza riots: "No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has"
At HotAir.com, "allahpundit" explains a lot of what's really been going on:
"What are they doing with kites, you ask? The Jerusalem Post explains. When he says he wants Jews to burn, he’s not exaggerating:
The protests have been organized around five locations next to Israel’s security fence. Over the eight weeks they took place they used different tactics and methods. For instance protesters began lighting massive fires with burning tires on the second Friday, April 6. They began launching fire kites into Israel, to set fields aflame. They also tore down a section of one of the fences’ barbed wire on April 27. It was during that protest that a reliable source provides some insight into the methods that Hamas and the protesters have used…
As the young men burn tires, and others prepare Molotov cocktails, or slingshots, some prepare kites to fly. The goal of the protesters is to get to the fence and, with select groups of young men who have brought wire cutters, to cut through. Most of them don’t make it this far. But some of them do."
