Israel's responses to Gaza bloodshed are getting stale

Business Insider Alkis Konstantinidis/Reuters Israel reports that the shooting and killing of 100 Palestinian protesters was unavoidable because they couldn't act against Hamas without also harming protesters. It's the same response Israel has given since the 2007 takeover of Gaza to justify blocking travel, denying outgoing goods, and restricting Palestinian's caloric intake. The United Nations Human Rights Council voted 29-2 to investigate the shooting at the Israel-Gaza border — Israel rejected it as an anti-Israel bias. By treating all Gaza residents as Hamas, Israel has helped the Hamas regime grow stronger. Hamas gained power in Gaza by handing out food and cash to the poor, hiring the unemployed as public servants, and opening a lucrative trading system with Egypt via tunnels underneath the border. Since demonstrations began on March 30, Israeli soldiers have shot and killed more than 100 Palestinian protesters inside the Gaza Strip, near the border fence separating Gaza from Israeli territory.
