At last! Bette Midler has finally weighed in on the violence in Gaza, and her take is just as smart as you’d expect:
Fifty-two people die in protest over moving American Embassy to Jerusalem. Thanks, asshole! Your uninformed and demented actions have consequences! Don’t you get it? Those people had families too!

Hamas should make Bette their spokeswoman. Because clearly she’s got no problem regurgitating their terrorist talking points. And blaming Trump for it? Just icing on the cake.

So ignorant, Bette.

That’s very convenient, then. Because Hamas counts on the ignorance of useful idiots like Bette Midler to keep their narrative going strong.
Terrorists who died were not protesting move of US Embassy to Jerusalem. They were trying to infiltrate Israel as part of Hamas’ ongoing aim to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Your ignorance does you no favours – hatred of Trump is no excuse.

Sorry @BetteMidler This had little do with the Embassy move. This has to do with the very right of Israel to exist. These were violent protesters trying to break the border between Gaza and Israel. Israel has 100% right to protect its borders and citizens.

Did Trump tell the Palestinians to cross the border or did Hamas do that? Are you saying those people are unable to control their own actions?

No one told them to rush a Sovereign border….oh wait Hamas did.
They live in a Martyr culture, results are predictable.

“Those people had families too”.
Then they’re not very good providers and they’re crazy stupid as they willingly took part in riots throwing rocks, lighting things on fire, and *fully* aware of the consequences. https://t.co/3ec0fF7Kuu— hey baby it’s woke outside (@MatlockFletcher) May 14, 2018
You are just wrong. Do you really think this is the first action taken by Hamas against Israel? Also, when weapons are involved and thet storm a border, it is no longer called "protest". Shame on you for misleading people.

A protest in which Hamas operatives used women, children, and the mentally challenged as human shields while they burned tires to create smoke to hide their bombs, guns, and Molotov’s. When you try to forcefully invade a country with murderous intent there are consequences. https://t.co/tp76F1q3Ey

The real tragedy is adults that bring children to protests, riots, large crowded situations, with big chances of violence, child molestation & kidnapping. That speaks volumes about them. They place no value on children's lives.

This is on Hamas. These people use children as shields with absolutely no regard for their lives. This is not new. This is what they do.
— T~ (@L0vnMyLife) May 14, 2018
It’s all they do.
You want peace in the Middle East? Hold Hamas accountable for their actions. Demand they cease their terrorist activities. Stop apologizing and hiding your head in the sand while they send women and children to die for them. https://t.co/tp76F1q3Ey
