'March to Jerusalem' Wants To Bring 1 Million Arabs to Border
Deja Vu: Another "March to Jerusalem" aims at rallying one million people to march on Israel’s borders from surrounding countries.

An attempt is being made by the BDS movement to have a ‘Global March to Jerusalem’ on March 30, to coincide with the so-called “Palestinian Land Day,” in a repeat of the failed Naqba Day attempt last year.

“The concept behind it is to have a million people marching on Israel’s borders from all the surrounding countries – Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt,” CiF Watch reported.

The BDS movement declares, “Commemorating Land Day, the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) invites people of conscience around the world to unite for a BDS Global Day of Action on 30 March 2012 in solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom, justice and equality and for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.”

The project’s official website says:

“The march will confirm that the policies and practices of the racist Zionist state of Israel against Jerusalem and its people are a crime not only against Palestinians but against all humanity.”

The CiF Watch reported that the “results are therefore likely to be grave…The leaders of the ‘Global March to Jerusalem’ are very much aware of [its] links to proscribed terrorist groups, and yet its endorsers include a rather predictable list of organizations and US and other nationals, including a UN employee and a former British MP.”

Israel, like any other sovereign country, cannot permit any type of attack on its borders, threatening its right to self-defense and autonomy as an independent state.

On last year's Naqba Day (the day the state was established, called "catastrophe day" by Palestinian Arabs) media-hyped attempts by Arabs to cross the border were stopped by Israel on several fronts. Lebanese forces prevented marchers from approaching Israel's border, so as to avoid confrontation. Only Syria aided the marchers, hoping to get their minds off its own internal rioting, and some 100 did manage to enter Israel and were repelled. Israel has since taken measures to prevent a repeat of that possibility. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/153088

Interestingly, this was in the news yesterday. When you have such self-loathing Jews as the Israel-bashing Finkelstein and Chomsky (our dear leader studied his how-to book on flaming leftie revolution in the US) now questioning the malignancy of the BDS's anti-Israel hatred, it is shocking for them.

Finkelstein Sparks Outrage Within BDS Movement
BDS activists, Finkelstein and Chomsky, acknowledge that the movement calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.

In a surprising and atypical interview last week, controversial political scientist and Israel-bashing ‘Palestinian’ rights activist, Norman Finkelstein, called the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel “a cult.”

Finkelstein's comment sparked outrage within the BDS movement and other, like-minded, anti-Israel groups. The video, which had been spreading widely on the Internet, was soon removed by 'Palestinian' activists who clearly were dismayed with Finkelstein for defending Israel’s right to exist.

Renowned MIT linguist Professor Noam Chomsky, a radical leftist and avid 'Palestinian' activist who met with Hizbullah leader Nasrallah, has voiced similar criticism of the BDS movement, citing the “hypocrisy [that] rises to heaven,” and questioning why other countries haven’t been the targets of such boycotts due to “human rights” concerns. Chomsky even “went so far as to suggest the movement was calling for the ‘destruction of Israel,’” Campus Watch reported.

“While no one can gauge individual motivations for persons in the BDS movement, the movement as a whole is going about its activism all wrong. Urging the self-determination of Palestine isn't innately anti-Semitic. But cutting off, and in essence damning, the whole of the Israeli people because of the policies of the current (or past) administration(s), ignores and inflames an issue of great complexity. A crisis of this magnitude will never find itself bettered without an approach that is sensitive, subtle, and mindful,” Campus Watch stated.

“Lumping the entire Israeli people together through calls for a wide-sweeping boycott is not the answer… such categories are feeble in their ignorance,” it continued. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/153042

Yup. You know it's pretty bad when even the self-loathing crazies are crying foul. Question is: is our own crazy 'president' paying attention to any of this?

Yeah, bro, I know that was a rhetorical question, I just wish there was another answer than the one we all know.

Is this really going to happen? That's years big march to Israel's borders didnt amount to that much.

On last year's Israel independence day, or the so-called 'Naqba Day' (meaning 'catastrophe day') of the 'Palestinians', media-hyped attempts by Arabs to cross the border were stopped by Israel on several fronts. Lebanese forces prevented marchers from approaching Israel's border, so as to avoid confrontation. Only Syria aided the marchers, hoping to get their minds off its own internal rioting, yet an estimated one hundred protesteres did manage to enter and were repelled. Israel has taken measures to prevent the re-occurance of a similar attack by those who associate with terrorist organizations and pride themselves on being dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel.

I was just talking to DW the other day about the excitment that was going on around Naqba Day last year and were wondering what was going to happen this year....

And here we go....

... from all the surrounding countries – Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt,”

Yep, the correct players are lining up pretty nicely. (I am sure that they ment to include Gaza...)

Bibi needs to scream:

Such a march will be seen for what it is: a coordinated attack on Israel. It will be dealt with quicky and decisevly. The gloves are off!

Just a matter of seeing if it turns out to be a dud like last year. Last year's plans for marches were almost exact descriptions of Psalm 83 activity, and this is the same. I believe God's hand by mercy stayed last year from being too bad, but the envelope is being pushed again.

The “Global March to Jerusalem” on March 30, 2012 could be a serious challenge to Israel’s security
TUESDAY, 06 MARCH 2012 09:13

The plan is for a convoy representing the global march to leave Indonesia on March, 6, 2012 and reach New Delhi in India on March 7. From March 9 to March 14, it will travel to Lahore, Karachi, Multan and Koweta in Pakistan. It will then be in Iran from March 15 to March 21, visiting the cities Zaidan, Isfahan, Qom, Tehran, and Tabrez. It will enter Turkey on 21st March and visit Ankara. Then the convoy will take a Passenger Ship to Beirut from where it will march to the border with Israel on March 30.

They are on track. Just left Delhi.. ing ing for Israel

Kunal Majumder follows the Indian delegates of Global March to Jerusalem—a pro-Palestine caravan that will travel through Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon to raise political pressure against Israel. Various delegates from across the world are expected to gather at Israel’s border on 30 March—Palestine Land day.

[RandallB]

Still on schedule..

I am sure that Israel can handle this but combined with Gaza, Hamas, Hez, Iran, and Syria, it does seem like things are stacking up.
All depends on the reaction of the people actually within marching disatnce.

Actually all depends on the Lord. ing for Israel

I don't post every often, but read the site just about every day. This has caught my attention. This is just my opinion, but I don't see how this can end well, to have have a million people try and get through Israel's borders. I think this may be something to watch on the 30th.

It's like a revival of last year's concept of Naqba day, very Psalm 83-ish. I remember the implication of this war is that an enemy of Israel USES the Palestinians to cause a stir, which is made even more interesting by the fact that Iran may be the puppet master here.

[Musician in His house]

Hmmm . . . very interesting indeed. I agree that it's like last year's Naqba Day. I wonder if they will be able to get a million people to march. It will be interesting also to see how many of that million are civilians and how many just happen to be military (though perhaps out-of-uniform). Don't know that this will happen, but the thought that it might has just crossed my mind. If part of that million were to be military in civilian clothes, would it still be considered a military action, or could they be considered acting in a civilian capacity? Just kind of thinking out loud here . . .

[GR_78]

As I recall, Nabqa Day was a bit of a dud with only about 30 Syrians causing anything resembling a fuss. If the Asian wing comprising 15 countries is only flying in 120 people, I doubt this march is going to be anything more than a minor annoyance. I could be wrong, but I'm not holding my breath that this will turn into anything spectacular.

Land Day march will not reach the border
March 24, 2012 01:47 AM By Annie Sherrod, Mohammed Zaatari

The Daily Star

BEIRUT/SIDON, Lebanon: Despite previous announcements that a planned Land Day march at the end of the month would go to the Israeli-Lebanese border, the Lebanese branch of the Global March to Jerusalem will instead head to Beaufort Castle, east of Nabatieh.

Sources close to the march told The Daily Star that the route change was due to a desire on the part of organizers to prevent friction on the border.

Last spring, the Israeli army killed around 10 Palestinians and injured nearly 100 more when protesters split off from the route of a Nakba Day march and rushed to the border at Maroun al-Ras.

But another source from the committee organizing the march told The Daily Star that the group had submitted three possible end-points for the protest to the Lebanese Army for approval, none of them on the Blue Line: Beaufort Castle, Bint Jbeil and Naqoura. “Given what took place last year, we needed to choose a place that was not so close [to the border] so we don’t repeat last year’s experience,” they said.
