Probably because they didn't want to be shot and killed.

What is the source for the claim that they were gunmen taking pot shots?
Re: 41 dead in Gaza Strip
Hamas leader proudly claiming 50 of the deaths were Hamas , who knows ?? , we do know Hamas are as bad as the other side , just smaller in number, takes two to tango, whilst the innocent are used and trampled on.

No one has a solution, no one really knows what is going on politically re Palestine, Hamas, Iran and Israel - so there is very little point in even bothering trying to understand.
I guess the question is what did the protesters have in their hands that threatened the state of Israel sufficient that their armed forces thought it required what it considered to be reasonable force to take 50 lives?

It was never worth a single life .
There were week's of organisation and reports of 40k there .
The aim was to breach the Israeli defences for political gain and headline on the 70th anniversary year.
Hamas probaly got the headline they wanted anyway.
Israel bought the whole staged event , hook, line and sinker.
How would one defend against such a demonstration without force, is another question ,and not one any of us have the answer for ,because we dont have the devil in the detail.
If 40k of violent minded demonstrators took to the streets in say London, and tried to storm a public place/event , try and burn it down , hurl objects , would there be injuries or even death , possibly ?

Were the protesters innocent civilians or members of the Hamas military wing?

Silly question, but who would take children to an area where they knew a confrontation was going to occur?

Given what day it was, what would you do if they were your kids?
a) Buy a few car tyres and tell them to go and set them on fire next to the border fence.
b) Keep them at home and not let them out of your sight.

As usual what evidence do you have that any of the children shot had tyres bought for them and then they set them on fire.
That aside I was expressly banned from going to the Cardiff vs Man U game in 1974 because of the risk to my safety. I was on the Grange End 90 minutes later. Shit parents to blame I guess.
