    A bit silly was Israeli propaganda machinery before and on that day already. Thus, army and foreign Ministry strongly warned against damage that smoke of thousands of inflamed car tires would cause to environment and health of Palestinians. This may well be true, but given precarious humanitarian situation of nearly two million people in Gaza who have little power and whose health is on ground, attempt by Israel, radical Islamic Hamas, to deal with cynical To accuse human life, even cynical.

    Not least in view of deadly shots from last Friday, when first major demonstration of so-called March of return was held in Gaza. Israel had posted a hundred snipers along border and purposefully killed Palestinians who had tried to approach border fence or even tear it down after military claims. The portrayal of Palestinian side was, of course, anor. A video that went viral showed a Palestinian who died when a shot hit him in back.

    Hamas needs urgent attention

    Today's Friday was not quite as bloody as last week and this may have also been because of high fumes of burning tires. These should take view of Israeli snipers who were reared at border again.

    Although only about 15,000 Palestinians have come to demonstration, over 30,000 last week. By evening, seven killed Palestinians were reported in total to 18 last Friday. About 1,000 people were reported as injured today, of which more than 290 were shot. But such arithmetic says little about problems that this demonstration wave wants to draw attention to. A protest that will last until 70th anniversary of Israel's state formation and 70th anniversary of NAKBA, expulsion and flight of Palestinians, on 15 May.

    The radical Islamic Hamas that reigned in Gaza quickly set itself at top of march of Return, which was initially an idea of various Palestinian organizations. Because Hamas urgently needs media attention. The world has long since turned away not only from Gaza, but also from Arab world.

    What is left to Palestinians?

    The Egyptians, Jordan, above all, but Crown prince and new strong man of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, have nothing left for Hamas, which is Palestinian arm of Muslim Brorhood hated by m all. MBS, as Saudi crown prince is commonly called, makes no secret of his sympathy for Israel, with which his country has long since no longer only cooperated in fight against Iran. In an interview he gave a few days ago to American magazine The Atlantic, MBS stated that Israelis had a right to ir own state. Of course he also mentioned rights of Palestinians, but it was not more than lip-recognition.

    That is how Hamas sees itself politically and financially offside. And is gradually also robbed of his strongest weapon against Israel: its tunnel system, which in part reaches deep into Israeli nuclear land and thus allows surprise attacks on Israeli villages and kibbutzim that lie near Gaza. For a few months now, Israel has built an underground steel and concrete barrier that will mean that for Hamas tunnel once it is ready. In addition, Israel has found technological solutions to find tunnels in predominantly sandy areas.

    The march of return – meaning right of return from Palestinians to ir former villages and cities in today's complained, is thus an expression of deep frustration of Hamas and Palestinians in all General, who realize that y are politically on losing road. For, in White House, re is an American president who not only cuts out millions of dollars in money, but recognizes Israel's claim to Jerusalem as its capital, and in mid-May US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem will be relocated. So what is left to Palestinians?
