OK, McGrath.

Let us pull back the Israeli troops a half a kilometer.

Then we can put you and your friends, who don't believe the Hamas statements about what they intend to do, on the border in Israeli uniforms (since you claim they have no intent to harm Israelis).

When the Palestinians are finished with you, let the crowd come up to within 100 yards of the real Israeli troops- to a fixed, marked line indicating no trespassing. If they choose to invade Israel, machine-gun down the whole bunch. THAT is what you want, right? To see all of them killed?

IMO, the current efforts, while not optimal, have resulted in far fewer deaths OF PALESTINIANS than if they were allowed across the border- were, upon acting AS THEY HAVE STATED THEY WILL, the entire group, both the "innocent" crowds following Hamas orders and the Hamas combatants ("Today, one senior Hamas official bragged that around 50 to 58 of those killed by the IDF at the Israel/Gaza border “were members of Hamas.” The terrorist group had already boasted that some of those killed in were members of its armed wing. At least 24 of those killed during the riots have been identified as Hamas members by Israel — 11 of them member of the internal security apparatus. ")

will be killed by the Israelis in self defense.

THAT is what you are calling for, right?
