Well, I usually ride the high horse too, but I do this this woman as equivalent to someone blowing himself up making a bomb.Don't agree with you on this. There's a difference between committing a violent act (bombmaking, etc.) and being a protester.
She put herself in front of a moving bulldozer expecting it to stop. It was a gamble with a risk.
Totally agree with you on this. She put herself in danger but that doesn't make it a laughing matter.
I would not disagree with you on the moral point that someone dying is never a laughing matter.
But on the other hand, she is over there "nonviolently" putting her body between Isreal and a terrorist state. She is helping the enemy. Whether she blasts someone with her own hand is irrelevant. She is helping those who do.
