How is trying to storm a sovereign border peaceful? Pretty sure if a mob stormed any normal government border they would be shot.

I'd think they'd point their weapons at the ones actually storming not the journalists

Unless you're saying the IDF didn't point and just fired aimlessly in the march's general direction?

It’s not. But it’s not grounds for lethal force. Audible warnings, warning shots and non-lethal rounds were the right moves.

Someone trying to invade your country to kill people is not grounds for lethal force?

You can't possibly be serious.

Sure it is. But that’s not what you described—the border guards did not have enough information to conclude—as judge, jury and executioner—that they were trying to kill people.

Again, what border? between which countries? is there an army on the other side? are you serious? The United States does not recognize the State of Palestine, and therefore there is no border is there? so these people where fenced into an area that is occupied by Israel. If they tried to get out, they were trying to escape their Concentration Camp.

Sovereign Border? are you recognizing a State of Palestine and it's borders? last I checked none of those existed, so therefore your argument of storming a sovereign border is null and void. They marched near the walls of their concentration camp, no one stormed anything and they were clearly shot at from a distance. I am appaled that so many "intelligent" people just regurgitate what they learned from the idiot box instead of being truly informed. The photos and videos are there for you to see... go look, read...

The marchers had a legal right of return under international law and the sympathies of the world (except US and Israel).
