2011 March of Return - The return home of Palestinian refugees

[Keit]

Saw the following two articles today (ignore the pro-Israel tone), and thought that it is an amazing idea! Pity that there is a high chance that it will turn into a massacre, though if enough people would come, Israel would be more careful about its image. May play the pity card instead. But it's not possible to know with psychopaths.

This month, several Facebook pages were launched to organize mass demonstrations by millions of Palestinian "refugees" on May 15, the day the Palestinian National Authority marks the 63rd anniversary of the "Nakba" or "catastrophe," the term they use for the rebirth of the modern State of Israel...

The Facebook page administrators organizing the "nonviolent" marches have posted detailed plans on several sites, including the 2011 March of Return, the Palestinian Refugees Revolution, and the Advance of Millions.

Based on the so-called right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants, the Facebook page administrators are calling on millions to "realize the right of return to Palestine [sic] in deed as well as word," the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported on Tuesday.

The sites call on all Palestinian "refugees" in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank -- Judea and Samaria -- to "penetrate the borders of Palestine and return to [their] land."

"The Right of return is a legal, political, human, moral and religious right that is irrevocable and unlimited in time, and all must work toward realizing it. We call for the realization of this right through the mass return of millions of Palestinians to historical Palestine, such that every refugee and displace person will return to his land and to the home from which he was expelled," one site states.

According to an in-depth report by L. Barkan, a research fellow at the Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors and analyzes media reports throughout the Middle East, the idea being circulated is "for millions of Palestinian refugees to march en masse in return to the original homes of their families in Israel."...

One of the Facebook pages soliciting participants in what apparently would be an invasion and attempted overthrow of the region's existing government has been removed by the Facebook administration, but not before collecting some 350,000 endorsements from readers. Other pages remain....

According to MEMRI, some of the Facebook pages "stress that the activities are meant to be peaceful and unarmed, while others hint at violence and armed resistance."

"It also has gained the support of Palestinian officials, through the PLO Department of Expatriate Affairs … which has called on Palestinians living abroad to participate in the march and to publicize it among the Palestinian communities and organizations worldwide," the MEMRI report said.

Timetables to coordinate the events have been posted by administrators who explain it is the moral and legal right of refugees to return to their homes.

Warned another page, according to MEMRI, "We will have a single slogan: 'End the occupation.' We will put up our tents everywhere, and operate a radio station of the sit-down demonstration, broadcasting national songs not associated with any political faction. We will use pots and spoons to make a racket at night, and when we grow tired, we will blow whistles. We will not leave until the occupation leaves."

Recommended tools to be used?

"A cloth and some vinegar and lemon as protection from tear gas; an aluminum pot and goggles to protect from tear-gas bombs and rubber bullets; an olive branch to signify the peaceful character of the protest; cans of spray paint for spraying on the faceguards of the soldiers' helmets in case of a confrontation; a sleeping bag and a first aid kit; water and soap for pouring on the tires of military jeeps to make them skid."
