Ex-Ambassador: Protests on Gaza Border Are "Play for Media Attention"
(The Hill) Julia Manchester - Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren called Palestinian protests on the Gaza border "a play for media attention" on Monday. "Palestinians, stirred on by Hamas, burned down their own crossing, burned their own energy lines so they can cry 'humanitarian crisis' to the world and have the world blame us. I hope that this time it won't work," Oren told CNN. "As we are speaking now the Syrian army is attacking the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp, they're killing hundreds, maybe thousands of Palestinians. Has CNN covered it? Has anybody covered it? Does anybody care when Syrians kill Palestinians? It's only when there's conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, and Hamas knows this."
