It is a grotesque morality to advocate a policy that, if implemented, promises to lead to the deaths of many thousands of Gazans.

B'Tselem apparently wants thousands of Gazans to die invading Israel.

B'Tselem issued a call for IDF soldiers not to open fire against Gazans even if they are tearing down the fence to invade Israel.

I am not going to speculate at what stage B'Tselem would consider thousands of Gazans invading Israel to be "life-threatening" and thus justifying opening fire.

Suffice it to say that under such circumstances we would ultimately reach the stage that even the folks at B'Tselem would find themselves conceding that conditions justified opening fire.

But here's the point: the number of casualties that would result from following B'Tselem's advice is many magnitudes greater than the number of Gazan casualties that may result from the IDF's current policy.

It is a grotesque morality to advocate a policy that, if implemented, promises to lead to the deaths of many thousands of Gazans.
