Hamas is preparing for a huge demonstration at the Erez Crossing at the northern border of the Gaza region on Thursday, according to The Chinese news agency Xinhua. "The protest at Erez crossing will be a strong message to the Zionist enemy that we can never accept this suffocating blockade and the slow death," said Ashraf Abu Dayya, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza. 

The terrorist organization, which rules Gaza, staged a similar protest earlier this year, but the numbers were far below expectations.
