No I don't agree with taking kids full stop. But the simple fact that thousands of people are shot non armed including press covering the event doesn't justify the excessive carnage.

It was thousands shot. Just pause and think about that stat, many critically and the US just blames Hamas only then asked for restraint from both sides.

Do people remember the crowds when the Berlin wall fell down, or when communism ended, various military coups or 'regime' changes like Egypt or marches over Vietnam. Some turned violent and others thankfully didn't or were minimised we just don't know. People are inherently drawn to key events in large numbers and it is an outlet to vent their ongoing frustration. That frustration at the sense of injustice and repression has to boil over and marches and protests are one such statement to vent (think of the Northern Ireland marches, Greek riots etc). Yes it was never going to be peaceful but you can bet alot of deaths could have been avoided through other means.

Yes its is crazy, but that's when my former ADF training kicks in when you see soldiers boasting about killing and key figures in the Israeli government talking about having enough bullets for them all, labeling them all Nazi's, terrorists and using such inhumane terms etc . That is just unthinkable and sick its poring oil on an already volatile situation and dehumanising the conflict. Every action will have a long-term reaction in the region its putting burning coals on your head and thinking you will be fine when blow back occurs, and I have no doubt it will. I be just as passionate when its Israeli citizens feel it, because nothing justifies it but the consequences of these actions will fuel a greater response and to think it won't will be a massive understatement.
