...was the fact Hamas activists, even though disarmed, were killed because of their identity. Hamas has proven itself to be a defender of the people of Gaza. They are considered terrorists. If they are unarmed, how are they, terrorists?

Protests are a form of outreach; it should never be ignored for the hope it carries. They were unarmed. Israel has to realize such deaths will reverberate internationally. It is irresponsible for such killing to take place.
