This is a long thread, and I'm not going to wade through to the end of it, since the level of homicidal rage is disturbing. When I first heard of this incident, I recalled the famous image from Tienamin Square so many years ago: the student standing in front of a halted tank. Apparently the ChiCom tank commander was more humane than this IDF operator.
Standard procedure in all civilised nations is to have police on hand to physically remove the protesters. That way, they get to make their point, the government gets to carry out its intended action, and nobody gets killed.
But since the IDF is never held to account for "irregularities", I guess they figure one more dead foreigner won't make headlines.
Yes it did. Check fire.
The houses being bulldozed are along the southern border of the Gaza strip near Egypt. Israel is apparently creating a buffer zone and is bulldozing houses. There is no indication of terrorist activity by the victims.
To believe her account:
"The homes here are not targeted because of any connection with suicide bombings, but because of their existence along an area which the Israeli army finds strategically useful."
Lately our messages to you from the Occupied Palestinian Territories have reported increased violence from Israeli soldiers against international civilians Caiohme was shot in the leg in Jenin, soldier aimed an M16 rifle at Susans head and fired right through her hair, Annie threatened with rape and violence, internationals pushed, beaten, shot at .
Natural Selection
Natural selection as defined by Darwin is the mechanism by which evolution occurs. All replicating organisms (i.e., bacteria, plants, mammals, and insects, to name a few) are subject to natural selection, thus evolution.
Expression of traits is controlled by genes. Because genes are not always perfectly replicated during meiosis, the way the offspring of an organism respond to the environment can change. Changes resulting from mutations and recombination of genes provided by the offspring's two parents can lead to its success or failure in surviving and passing on its characteristics to its progeny.
Natural selection works by removing those individuals that express traits maladapted to a particular environment, increasing the frequency of "fit" individuals in a population. Those individuals that survive and reproduce perpetuate the species by passing on the genes conferring "fitness" to the next generation. In this way, natural selection leads to adaptation.
These older liberals live are so deplete of anything substantive that they live vicariously throughout the young of the nation and they even get them killed, be it drugs, AIDS, or stupid protest like this one. We should not be happy about this child dying, we should be infuriated with the left for destroying the young minds of this nation with their nostalgic perversions, which is simply the mental molestation of this nations youth!!!
Pray for her lost life, and morn for her lost potential.
