“murder 60 palestinians in cold blood….” these would be the 60 Palestinians who were warned repeatedly not to break past barriers, and whose stated goal is to retake lands that the Palestinians lost when they cut off the water supply to West Jerusalem in 1947 and preemptively went to war with the new UN-sanctioned nation of Israel, correct?

Israel insists that they were Hamas terrorists who were invading Israel.

There is a partial case for that, but there were also civilians and children engaging in a protest march.

Israel was justified in taking measures to stop them, and had they posed a clear threat to the lives and safety of Israel, then such extreme measures might have been justifiable.

And Israel was well aware of the situation and took very few steps to avoid use of extreme force.

I do not find Israel’s use of extreme force there fully justifiable.
