Israeli left-wing leader: IDF used excessive force in Naksa Day protests http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israeli-left-wing-leader-idf-used-excessive-force-in-naksa-day-protests-1.366094

 Uri Avneri, former MK and activist with the Gush Shalom left-wing organization, said Sunday that the IDF used excessive force against the protesters in the Golan Heights. "The trigger-happy behavior stands out in particular when compared to the softness with which violent settlers are treated," he said. Avneri conceded that a country has a right to defend its borders and prevent illegal entrance to its territory, yet added that "in order to effectively protect its borders, the state should first know where its borders are and have them recognized by the international community – and this is a decision which Israel has been avoiding for years."
