According to media reports, tens of people were killed today and hundreds more were injured in demonstrations currently under way on the Gaza border.
ACRI warns that a country’s right to defend its borders does not afford it the right to kill civilians – even if they approach the border and cross it – as long as they do not endanger the security forces.
Only protecting life can justify endangering life.
