Frackal, (and some others)
Your Americanism is preventing you from seeing this objcetively.
The bulldozer operator was not operating in a planned condo development. This was not about a protestor in the US. You acn be an American citizen around teh world, but your rights stop as you leave US borders.
The area where she died was clearly a war zone. The Israeli policy of demolishing homes is done is response to teror attacks. Does Israel always get the right people? I don't know. I'd bet they've killed innocents. Irrelevant for this post, as it happens on both sides.
The point is, the bulldozer operator is an Israeli soldier under orders to destroy this property. There are tanks and armored vehicles supporting the dozer. It is a fucking war zone.
When US forces go into Iraq, do you think they were going to stop for human shields? The Iraqi soldiers were practically human shields last time, and the US tanks ran them over. That is how you fight a war, and the Israelis and Palestinains are fighting a war.
Whether either side is right or correct or whatever is not the point . This is a war zone and wars are fought to win, not to get good PR. Both sides are trying to win.
Sad story. Stupid girl. If you want to exercise your American rights, strongly recommend you do it on US soil.
