Defiance, then death: Gaza suffers most horrific day of violence for four year (Guardian)

From todays Guardian:

Amid the wail of sirens and the urgent to and fro of ambulances from the front line, Gaza’s hospitals struggled on Monday to cope with the influx of dead and wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian protesters.

Witnesses described morgues filling up and a sense of panic as hundreds of relatives converged on hospitals seeking news.

Among the 40,000 Palestinians who flocked to Gaza’s border fence, it was clear to many that the day would end with death.

this is their own fault.

somehow "the protests are the problem." "It's an attempt at propaganda" ... blah blah blah.

NO it's you Killing people and then trying to say it's their own fault.

This time 'the problem' is crystal clear.
