Letters: Former Israel attorney general Michael Ben-Yair, Former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg and six other Israelis on the UN inquiry into Gaza protests, Blake Alcott on Palestinians’ calls for a one-state solution, and Alec Nacamuli on why the Gaza crossing was closed
We, Israelis committed to peace, strongly welcome the report of the UN inquiry into the horrifying killing of Palestinian demonstrators in Gaza . The UN report confirms that almost none of the 189 Palestinians killed and over 9,000 injured by our forces in the weekly demonstrations since last March posed any direct threat to Israel or to its citizens. Many were shot while peacefully protesting hundreds of metres away from the Gaza fence.
