JERUSALEM — Israeli forces fired at pro-Palestinian protesters on the Syrian frontier on Sunday as they tried to breach the border for the second time in three weeks, reflecting a new mode of popular struggle and deadly confrontation fueled by turmoil in the Arab world and the vacuum of stalled peace talks.RTWT.
Wave after wave of protesters, mainly Palestinians from refugee camps in Syria, approached the frontier with the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. Israeli soldiers opened fire on those who crossed a new trench and tried to attack the border fence near the towns of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights and Quneitra in Syria.
By nightfall, the Syrian news agency SANA reported that 22 protesters had been killed and more than 350 had been wounded. Israeli officials said that they had no information on casualties but suggested that the Syrian figures were exaggerated.
Even so, it was the worst bloodshed in the Golan Heights since Israel and Syria fought a war there in 1973.
This is a Damascus production. See, Ynet, "Syrian opposition: Anti-Israel rioters paid $1,000." And Gateway Pundit, "Anti-Israel Protesters Reportedly Paid $1000 to Storm Across Israel Border."

The U.S. would have handled this in a much more civilized way:
1. classified the protesters as illegal "immigrants'
2. arrested any border guards who shot these "immigrants"
3. provided welfare assistance and housing to these "immigrants"
4. required schools to teach these "immigrants" in their native language
5. require hospitals to provide health care to these "immigrants"
6. condemned any local officials who resisted these requirements as "racist"
After millions of these "immigrants" had establish their own "communities" within urban areas, offer a general "amnesty".
Does that sound familiar?
Seems that Assad is trying to use Jew-baiting to deflect from his internal uprisings.
