In a jarring contrast, Israeli forces shot and killed at least 55 Palestinians and wounded more than 1,200 during mass protests Monday along the Gaza border, while just a few miles away Israel and the U.S. held a festive inauguration ceremony for the new American Embassy in contested Jerusalem.

nice job trump.

ce why

Trump did nothing wrong. Hes fulfilling an old promise that was made. My understanding is Jerusalem is far more secure than Tel Aviv as well.

Throughout the day, Gaza protesters set tires ablaze, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air, and hurled firebombs and stones toward Israeli troops across the border. The Israeli military, which has come under international criticism for using excessive force against unarmed protesters, said Hamas tried to carry out bombing and shooting attacks under the cover of the protests and released video of protesters ripping away parts of the barbed-wire border fence.

Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a military spokesman, said hundreds of protesters carried out "concerted, coordinated" attacks on the border fence.

Although the crowd did not manage to break through, he said they caused "significant damage." The army released video showing demonstrators setting a cargo crossing on fire and appearing to climb on the fence as they lobbed flaming objects into the Israeli side.

Conricus also said Hamas militants disguised as protesters tried to infiltrate, and there were at least three instances of armed Hamas gunmen trying to carry out attacks. Israeli aircraft and tanks struck seven Hamas positions.

Sounds like Israel is defending itself

Tired of imperialism. Sociopaths playing games with the lives of people. Trump just gets hard exerting his will

More terrorist attacks from the Palestinians. Saying "nice job Trump" would be like if they beheaded 55 women for dressing immodestly and their defenders said "nice job women."

I couldn't think of a better split-screen moment to demonstrate the stark difference between the two sides. Israel, representing democracy, peace and international cooperation, vs the raging tire fire of Palestinian Hamas terrorism. Territory which Israel unilaterally pulled out of, only for the Palestinians to ravage and destroy worse than a horde of locusts.

Thank God Hillary lost, and people like her should never be in charge of anything. We don't want the entire region to look like that s***hole Palestine, which they've been propping up with their aid money for decades - and it only goes to terrorists. We want to defeat terrorism and end the Palestinian brutality.

protest is good. violent protest is not. while i'm not going to say anything crazy like "they deserved it," if you violently attack people they are going to respond back with violence. that's just how it works.

If you support Trump, you're ignored.

What idiot thinks this is Trump's fault?

Get over it. My ancestral homelands are under a lake (that the English created to keep them away) and part of Poland/Russia now. I don't expect anyone to change this. My family had to start over with nothing elsewhere, so they'll have no sympathy from me beyond "that sucks, it's not fair."
