Why am I reminded of the riot scenes from Soylent Green?

I've been watching the removal of people from the synagogues and other buildings in Gaza on the news networks this morning, and I'm struck by one thing.

As water cannons are being turned onto people, and protestors being herded into giant transport containers to be taken off of rooftops, I'm suddenly struck with a juxtaposition between this and the riot scenes of the post-apocalyptic/dark futurist 1973 movie Soylent Green.
