Palestinians face off with Israeli soldier violence in Gaza

Heavily armed Israeli soldiers and settlers continue to harass and provoke Palestinians and Palestinians continue to stand their ground near al-Bureij in the Gaza Strip

Israeli soldiers fired large canisters of gas and fired live ammunition at Palestinians civilians who gathered at the border of Al-Bureij in the Gaza Strip on Friday.

Israeli soldiers and settlers have continued a rampage through Palestinian, beating, attacking and killing Palestinian civilians.

Palestinians are protesting the brutality and are standing up to the Israeli soldiers and settlers who are heavily armed and protected by armor vests and military equipment.

The Palestinian civilians who are resisting wear little more than shirts, cover their faces from Israeli undercover terrorists and throw stones.

In some cases, the Palestinians are able to courageously run out int the open field, that was once civilian Palestinian farmlands and homes destroyed by Israel and pick up the gas canisters and throw them back at the occupiers.

Israel has surrounded the Gaza Strip since it was forced to flee in 2005 and chokes the population by banning food, building materials, clothing and other necessities to live.

Israel in using its news media and Israeli journalists to engage in a propaganda campaign to blame the victims of Israel’s armed violence for the escalating tensions. The violence is the direct result of Israeli violence that goes unpunished, the continued theft of Palestinian lands and the refusal of Israelis to recognize the rights of Palestinians and sovereignty to Palestine.
