The global march to Jerusalem, the flotilla on land, has so far had low turnout. Two million were supposed to turn out from over 80 countries. The numbers are in the thousands.

The event is celebrated every year to commemorate “Land Day,” when six Arabs were killed protesting Israel’s policies.

Currently, it is a battle around the Gaza-Israeli Erez crossing between Israeli forces and marksmen of the Iran-backed Palestinian Jihad Islami. Israeli Defense Forces are aiming at marksmen not the protesters. The borders are in tact but the clashes might not be over.

So far, one protester was killed and 300 were injured. Many protesters were shot at and stopped before they came close to the border (MSNBC).

Protesters threw rocks at police to make their point (?) -

Quote of the Week

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few and for the few, time to reject the idea of an "on your own" society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a "we're all in it together" society.

Now, there is no greater force for economic growth than free markets, but markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed. (We) ....can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."

~ Hillary Clinton, Collectivist & 1%er
