juan: i would like to bring in diana buttu to talk about the claims of the israeli defense forces thee of the protesters turned violent and also that most of the people killed were young men n between the ages of8 and 30 including several folks they've identified as hamas leaders. could you respond to that portion of what the israelis have claimed? >> of course the israelis are going to try to claim that this was a peaceful protest because they have no way of justifying what it is they did. i think it is important to keep in mind exactly the layout of the gaza strip. the gaza strip is completely fortified, northern and eastern by an electrified fence. in addition to that electrified fence, the people cannot pass, israel has imposed a 350 meter, about 1000 foot buffer zone that is not marked in that area as well. and that buffer zone, that no go zone is a scenario where palestinians go, t then they wil be shot i the israeli armrmy. their claim is that they were somehow trying to protectt isral . nost, there's absolutely sign whatsoever -- sign whatsoever there was anything of that sort
