There also appears to be an assumption in a certain strain of commentary that the Israelis don't care about the answer to this question. My sense is that the ones holding this assumption haven't sufficiently thought through what it would look like were this actually true.

The real concern, at least the reasonable one, is that they might not care enough.

I heard they were protesters, either way live ammo seems like a bit much.

Maybe use rubber bullets you plank and an excessive use of tear gas and water cannons .... and maybe not jail 50,000 people ?

1. Who considers the population of Gaza as an "enemy"? 2. If the answer to #2 is Israel, then why do they consider them an enemy? 3. Who said that this was an "incursion"? Is this your word, the Israeli's, the Palestinians', the U.N.'s ...? 1/

4. Do we have hard evidence that the Palestinians were not protestors? Even the U.S. Deputy Press Secretary would not commit to saying this. 2/

This is the right question. But the more specific question is: in instances when Israel has used lethal force against persons not engaged in violent actions, why has it done so? Based on what rules of engagement? Why has IDF approved live fire in these cases?

By implication they were all attempting to cross the fence which is a hostile act. That is not what the evidence seems to suggest is the extent of IDF use of live fire.

You think that one of the most powerful armies in the world which has also been at the cutting edge of 'non-lethal' crowd control methods had NO OTHER OPTION but to open fire with high-powered assault rifles on unarmed protesters from behind an impenetrable barrier? You're sick
