[2Thick]

Yet another terrorist act by the state of Israel.

She must have been a "suspected threat" to the Bulldozer she was standing in front of.

All she wanted was to stop the bulldozer from destroying an innocent person's home.

"She was raising her hands and yelling at the bulldozer driver to stop," Arraf said. "The bulldozer driver paid no attention. ... He buried Rachel with dirt, which ended up, obviously, knocking her down. Then he ran over her, and then reversed and ran over her again."

Yes, the Israeli have the moral high ground...

This is all-around stupidity.

Stupid of the driver. He definitely saw her. And honestly, stupid of the girl to enter a war zone where both sides are known to care little for collateral damage.

Why waste your life (and die horribly) at 23 to protest something which has been going on in one form or another for over 1000 years? There is no "moral high ground" here.

Did she think anything would change? What was in her mind? These problems will never be solved when two sides clamor for the moral high ground. Negotiators need to sit down and say "it is what it is" and start planning for the future rather than living in the past. People who try to assign blame toone side do nothing for resolution.

She could have done so much more by living her life...nothing has changed and now a family is destroyed.

You can hate things but you have to be reasonable about trying to change them.

What a dumb bitch. One less leftist and all the better for the gene pool though.

We should declare war on bulldozers.

I was thinking something similar..........

 

[casavant]

I'm no leftist or pussy-ass liberal or anything of the like, but how some of you can look at the crushed body of a dying young girl who, whether mistaken or not, was peacefully trying to do something she thought would help another human being, and call her a "dumb bitch", etc., is beyond me.

 

[Jimsbbc]

It was an act of suicide, not terrorism.

 

[The Almighty]

Its sad that she died, but in reality it is nobody's fault but her own.

Darwinism at work.
