Enquiries into this bloodbath will no doubt be whitewashed. One outcome for the people of Israel is an inevitable increase in their insecurity with no prospect of peace. That's what their leaders have pitched them into. Talk of people armed with stones "threatening the border" is a massive lie. Any protester who had actually managed to get through the fence would have had absolutely nowhere to go from there and could have been taken into custody. There was never the slightest need for the IDF to open fire. Netanyahu knows that he can push things much further with Trump that he could with Obama. One fine day the ordinary people of Israel will realise what their leaders are doing to them. As things stand, nothing else can put the brakes on this brutal regime.
