This video by Pierre Rehov reveals facts about the Hamas organised riots on the Gaza border that the media has ignored.
Racism and the promotion of violence should not be allowed on the streets of London!

We recommend reading our post in full (linked below), but here are a few of the more egregious distortions in an official editorial at The Guardian addressing recent Gaza border protests:
1. Includes vile insinuation that the IDF murders Palestinian kids.
2. Falsely claims Gaza border protests have been "peaceful" and promote a peaceful agenda.
3. Falsely claims Gaza protest's aim is to end the blockade....
4. Falsely claims Jerusalem is currently under "international jurisdiction".
Ahmad Abu Artema, the initial leader of the Gaza border protests, believes in a 'one-state' vision where Israel would cease to exist as a Jewish state.
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin believes in a 'one-state' vision where Israel annexes the West Bank and grants Palestinians full Israeli citizenship.
Yet, a The Guardian editorial bizarrely suggests these two 'one-state' views are ideologically (and morally) equivalent.
If one image can capture the security threat posed by the Hamas led violent protests at the Gaza border - consistently ignored by the media - this aerial photo (showing an Israeli kibbutz less than 1 km from the latest protests) is it.
Is there any country in the world that would fail to aggressively protect its citizens from attempts by a proscribed terrorist group to send masses of people to infiltrate their border?
Israeli diplomat Udi Avivi slammed The Guardian in an op-ed at the The Jewish News:
"Some media outlets have curiously glossed over essential elements of this story. This was epitomised in a Guardian editorial published on 23 April that declared: ‘The jury is still out as to how long Hamas’s patronage will allow the protests to remain peaceful.’
Considering that rioters have deliberately and consistently initiated violence, the word ‘peaceful’ cannot possibly be used to descr...ibe events on the Israel-Gaza border.
When facts are ignored in favour of a fictitious narrative in which ‘brutal’ Israel is cowing the people of Gaza ‘into submission’, truth is sacrificed upon the altar of storytelling.
80% of the Gazans confirmed to have been killed in clashes have already been identified as activists within terrorist organisations such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and others.
This fact alone should cause the Guardian to reflect carefully on the true nature of these riots, rather than expressing solidarity with those whom it has inaccurately portrayed as protesting peacefully."
An op-ed at The Guardian last week by BDS supporter Hina Tai accused Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of supporting the "oppression of Palestinians". It also amplified the rhetoric of an antisemitic campaign against the US Jewish civil rights group.
The campaign in question, by the Orwellian named group "Jewish Voice for Peace" (JVP), outrageously suggests that American Jews - and Jewish groups like ADL - are partially responsible for police violence against black people in the US.
The argument by The Guardian contributor Michael Segalov that "Yom Haatzmaut doesn’t leave room for nuance" is simply wrong. One can be right-wing or left-wing, secular or religious, Jewish or non-Jewish, pro-Netanyahu or anti, and basically subscribe to any political ideology under the sun, and celebrate Yom Haatzmaut.
This isn’t just theoretical – this is the reality in Israel! Celebrating Yom Haatzmaut simply means you celebrate the existence of a Jewish state of Israel in some form.
A new video surfaced of Ahed Tamimi - currently in prison for assaulting an Israeli soldier - kicking, punching and grabbing at soldiers during a separate incident in 2017. As blogger Elder of Ziyon observed, it's SO 'heroic' of her to attack people who she knows will not fight back because she is a minor.

Following communication with UK Media Watch, Times of London corrected the headline and opening paragraph of a story on April 17th which falsely claimed that Syrian air defences responded to an Israeli missile attack over Homs.
In fact, it turned out that a false alarm led to Syrian air defense missiles being fired overnight and there was no fresh attack on Syria - by Israel or any other country - of any sort.
We're glad for the correction, but it still remains a mystery where the journalists who wrote the article received the false information that "Israel attacked Syria", and why they and their editors reported it as if it was a confirmed fact.
"Israel abruptly crossed over from grief to jubilation at nightfall Wednesday, as Memorial Day came to a close and the country’s 70th Independence Day began.
Mournful and somber speeches gave way to fireworks, concerts and parties across the country, with flags promptly raised back from half-staff.
At the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, the transition was marked with an ellaborate state ceremony featuring the lighting of 12 torches by people who made an outsta...nding contribution to society. This included wheelchair tennis player Noam Gershony, an IDF chopper pilot who was wounded in the Second Lebanon War in 2006 and won gold in the 2012 Paralympics.
The event also included a performance by Netta Barzilai — who will represent Israel in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, with some listing her as the favorite to win."
Israel’s annual Memorial Day begins at sundown today, during which the country will mourn its fallen soldiers and members of other security services, as well as those killed in terror attacks throughout Israel’s history.
In all, 71 new names were added over the past year to the roster of 23,645 who died defending the country, nearly half of the new individuals passing due to wounds and disabilities sustained in the service.
Twelve names were also added to the list of terror victims who perished because of attacks, bringing the total to 3,134. (Times of Israel)
Though accusations regarding “fake news” are used way too often these days, a report at The Times and The Sunday Times today on an “Israeli attack” last night over Homs in Syria clearly deserves to be labeled as such.
First, contrary to the claim by their reporters, not even official Syrian news agencies accused Israel of launching the attack.
Further, within the past two hours, Reuters, citing Syrian military sources, reported that “a false alarm" actually "led to Syrian ...air defense missiles being fired overnight” and that “there was no fresh attack on Syria” as originally claimed.
In other words: Israel was charged with an ‘attack’ that never occurred in the first place!
spiked editor Brendan O'Neill challenges so-called 'progressive' activists in light of recent anti-Israel protests over clashes on the Gaza border:
"Like clockwork, with a predictability that now feels just mostly depressing, these clashes that resulted in the deaths of many protesting Palestinians magically awoke an anti-imperialist, anti-war instinct among Western observers that was notably, stubbornly, mysteriously dormant when Turkey recently laid waste to the Kurdish tow...n of Afrin or during any of the recent Western-backed Saudi barbarism visited upon the benighted people of Yemen.
A member of the IDF raises his gun and suddenly the right-minded of the West switch off Spotify, take to Twitter, engage their emotional fury, and say: ‘NO.’ Their political lethargy lifts, their placards are dusted down, and they remember that war and violence are bad. They even go on to the streets, as people did in London and across Europe in recent days.
This is evil, they declaim, and that question rises up again, silently, awkwardly, usually ignored: why is this evil but Turkey’s sponsored slaughter of hundreds of Kurdish civilians and fighters in Afrin was not? Why Israel?"
A few highlights from our latest compilation of BDS fails:
1. Polls show America's support for Israel is highest ever recorded.
2. More tourists than ever visited Israel in 2017.
...3. Google has opened its new start-ups accelerator in TelAviv!
4. German TV cancels backing for planned concert with Roger Waters due to accusations of antisemitism.
At 10:00 this morning, Israel came to a stand-still on Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) in memory of six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during WW2.
Contrary to claims made in UK publications such as The Guardian, the Gaza border protests are not "peaceful", neither in practice or in spirit.
As even Great Return March chief organizer Ahmad Abu Artema acknowledged recently, what began as a grassroots Palestinian organisation has effectively been taken over by Hamas.
Moreover, the only difference between Hamas and Abu Artema is that Hamas is a terror group founded on the idea that Israel has no right to exist, and Abu Artema is a "non-violent" activist dedicated to the idea that Israel has no right to exist.
