In May 2018, Palestinians in Gaza organized a peaceful protest “March of Return” in order to break the illegal siege of Gaza. The IDF responded by brutal killing of civilians. Israeli snipers were targeting the peaceful protesters killing children, paramedics, women, amputees and civilian men. The IDF spokesperson tweeted on May 22, 2018:

“The mask has been pulled off : Hamas is Iran, Iran is Hamas! The terror along the security fence is an Iranian mission”

Norman Finkelstein responded to the above tweet by a post with the title:

“The mask has been pulled off: Israelis are Nazis, Nazis are Israelis. The assassins along the concentration camp fence target children for goofs.”
