In the violence that was reported widely that was exactly the case.  Multiple entities from the New York Times to the LA Times reported the Palestinian protestors were attacked by Likud provocateurs.  
 

Didn't you post this earlier in the thread? "Of course if you listen to the national news that isn’t the story you hear.  It’s all about violence around the protests." The NYT and LA Times are both large media outlets that cover national events. The game here, which is played by both sides on the OT Board, is to find the media outlets that back your narrative and cite it. You're no different...neither am I, as I've done it too.

building a encampment with defensive measures is absolutely peaceful.   Multiple instances of people entering camps and spraying unknown liquids have occurred.  It seems everyone but Palestinians have the right to take measures to protect themselves.  You claim to be unbiased and then post setting defensive measures are not peaceful.  Maybe you are more biased than you realize.   

Building an encampment is not peaceful and, in fact was deemed to be illegal and the protestors told to leave before the clashes broke out. That is no longer a peaceful protest.

Throwing firecrackers into that encampment is in no way peaceful.  

I already said that.

Getting to the facts in terms of who initiated violence is not a game. It would be an appropriate function of police work if it were being executed faithfully.   
 

Name one other instance where putting in a defensive barrier is considered violence.  Rosa Parks sitting in front of the bus was illegal and by your definition violent.   Conflating illegal and violent would by your definition make most of what Martin Luther King did be classified as violent.

MLK and Rosa Parks didn’t construct barriers. They went freely to a place and waited to be accosted by the authorities in order to draw white eyeballs as to what was happening. They didn’t build forts.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

These protests appear to be microcosms of what is currently going on in the Mideast although decidedly less violent. Both sides have their violent detractors  that fail to sway the other sides opinion. In other words a waste of time unless you desire to see yourself on the local or national news.

They didn’t have thugs spraying unknown chemicals on them.

LMFAO wut?  Or maybe the black people back then just wanted to ride the bus or get a drink at the soda counter like everyone else.  Or were they all provacatuers with an agenda?

Israel is kind of treated like the 51st State, it seems.

I mean, there is congressional bipartisan, unequivocal support for anything that Israel does.   Not only that, but funding Israel's policies with US tax dollars

Republicans and Democrats all on board

that doesn't even happen between red and blue states on issues.

Israel is our Client State.

Our foothold in the Mideast.

We get intelligence from them.

They are within striking distance of our created enemies in that region.

Most importantly, our Corporate Overlords want this State of Affairs.

The movie Idiocracy is proving more and more to be a documentary.

Of all the things that didn't happen, this is certainly one of them.

I should have clarified....scores are not affected in grade schools.

Our grade schools are FULL of socialist slogans and posters, kids are being taught to be victims.  Directly after "anti bullying training" kids start throwing each other under the bus...when the teacher tries to correct a student, they will go home and claim their teacher is bullying them...then the teacher has to defend herself...

After "sensitivity training" half of the snow white kids claim to be in the minority....other research shows kids at unusual percentages being confused/questioning about their sex/gender after "training" . 

One of my kids at a UW history class got in an argument about Woodrow Wilson; he tried to use sources from both political sides. Prof disagreed with the conservative sources...and had no mention on the liberal side. Gave him a shitty grade.   

Hell yes indoctrination is happening at all levels.

"Peace, land, and bread!" "Forward to socialism!" "Towards communism!" "Socialism in one country!" "Build communism with Leninism!"
