This happens every week at Bilin on Fridays and the protesters get tear gassed no matter what they do or dont do. I've seen videos where they are just standing there and the tear gas is shot with high speed guns, which makes them lethal. They have already killed a man when he was shot in the chest with the gas canister. Also, an American-Tristan Anderson- who was present at one of these protests standing off to the side taking photos was shot in the head with a gas canister and I dont know the exact condition, but he has had part of his brain removed and probably lost sight in one or more eyes. They also frequently used live ammunition when they feel they can get away with it, killing and injuring many others. So, if you think this is the proper way for a "democratic" country to deal with their problems, then I guess what Iran was doing to protesters is ok to you as well?

Tear gas wasn't fired til they tried to pull down the fence. Well to be fair they protester WERE throwing rocks and attempting to bust through the gate with a wagon.

Am I outraged at the IDF incursions and indiscriminate gassing of non-violent protestors, or gleeful that a Fox News reporter got gassed? Hmm. This is a tough call...
