On NPR this morning, a Swastika-kite wielding Gazan explained EXACTLY what he wants to see happen to Jews, and, not surprising, it involves quite a violent death:
On @NPR, @NPRinskeep just asked a Gazan with a kite w a swastika on it what it means to him. "The Jews go crazy when you mention Hitler." Steve Inskeep asked if he knows the Israelis are using the swastikas to discredit Gazans. "It's what we mean. We want them to burn," he said.

And before you say this is just one person, it’s not. From the Washington Post on Monday:
While some said they would abide by official calls to keep the demonstrations peaceful, others talked about their enthusiasm to break into Israel and wreak havoc.
“We are excited to storm and get inside,” said 23-year-old Mohammed Mansoura. When asked what he would do inside Israel, he said, “Whatever is possible, to kill, throw stones.”
Two other young men carried large knives and said they wanted to kill Jews on the other side of the fence.
So much for the “peaceful protester” narrative:

Later on it in the same report, an IDF spokesman explained that the Palestinians “can demonstrate as much as they want if they don’t try to enter Israel”:
Now @IDFSpokesperson is telling @NPRinskeep that Israel was not shooting to kill, but "it's a very dynamic area." Most injuries were to the legs, says IDF spox. "They can demonstrate as much as they want if they don't try to enter Israel."

Spoiler alert? They were trying to enter Israel:
Now @NPRinskeep speaking to a teenager. He is holding bolt cutters. He made it to the fence once without being shot. "It makes you feel good. You feel you are doing something for your country," he tells Steve. He dreams of walking to the village his family lived in before 1948
