Answer:
Ever since the confrontation on the U.S.-Mexico border, both left and right have taken to social media, invoking the specter of Gaza to bolster their arguments and strengthen their accusations.
The optics have been, at times, nearly identical. On one side of a border fence, huge crowds of civilians – men, women and children – protest, while a smaller, more daring group of individuals approaches the fence directly, attempt to penetrate it and force their way through. In both cases, armed police and military troops have repelled the protests and attempts to cross the border, using tear gas, causing the crowds to flee, eyes burning in pain.
