I originally created this site in June 2018 to document and increase awareness of Palestinian attacks at the Israel/Palestine border. It is now a year later, and the focus of the attacks have changed. This month alone (June 2019) over 100 aerial incendiary devices have been launched into Israel from Gaza, and farmers' fields, nature sanctuaries, and forests in Israel are burning. A new page, Balloons, Kites, and Firebombs shares the imagery that is not being reported in the world press. The original site - showing the history of the weekly rioting - begins below:
​
Since March 30 2018, tens of thousands of rioters have been attacking Israel under the direction of Yahya Sinwar, the head of Gaza’s government, who urged them to “tear down the Israeli border and rip out Israeli hearts from their bodies”. Every Friday, a few hundred militants, protected by thousands of civilian human shields, organize at the Gaza/Israel international boundary to attack Israel.

The violence against Israel has been horrific: Tens of thousands of tire fires have created an ecological nightmare, poisoning the air and water tables – in both Gaza and Israel.

Thousands of “kite bombs” and “balloon bombs” launched against Israeli communities have destroyed thousands of acres of farmland and nature preserves. How many wild animals perished from smoke or were burned alive in these fires? Countless. We know 30 bee colonies were burned alive – bees that formerly pollinated both sides of the border. Palestinian rocket and mortars have hit Israeli nursery schools. Snipers have hit Israeli homes. The machine gun barrage from Gaza was so thick that they triggered Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system.
​
Israel has reacted more moderately than can be expected, using skilled snipers to shoot the legs of rioters as they enter Israel illegally, except when they can confirm that the militants are not civilians. For example, on May 14th 2018, the world press reported 61 casualties. Of these, the terrorist organization Hamas bragged that 53 were their soldiers trying to enter Israel. According to Palestinian sources, most of these 53 were convicted terrorists who had served time in Israeli jails for murder. Israel is doing its best to minimize civilian injuries, but it is difficult when Gazan government uses children, reporters, and medical personnel as human shields to protect its fighters.

Look at the pictures and make up your own mind. Peaceful protests or violent attacks?
