I said all along this was a bad idea and that it would rub salt in a wound unnecessarily. It will just make the beautiful city of Jerusalem more of a target for extremists. Pointless and stupid move.
Annie they are
NOT in Jerusalem .
They are on the border of the Gaza strip well to the south of the country.
There is absolutely no reason why they should the Hamas incited gazans should be there at all !
they are deliberately instigating trouble.
Tranquilliser guns are used on animals at relatively close quarters.They are not useful for human targets at a distance.
The Israelis generally do not shoot to kill and they do use plastic bullets, but not always there are murderous men with guns in between the hapless rock throwers and smoke screens.
What do you think they would do if they broke through the border fence and into Israeli communities ?
They would murder innocent citizens.
Jerusalem has been fairly governed by Israel allowing free access to all hole sites for all religions.
When Jordan held the West Bank Jews were prohibited from visiting their holy sites and animals were stabled on the Western wall- their holiest site.
