Earth to Wendy Smith: There is no love lost for Rachel Corrie and all those who side with terrorists.

"He was shot in the head by Israeli sniper fire nine months ago while shepherding Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip out of the line of fire."I'll bet it was Palestinian "children" like these yoots, who were only throwing stones:

Ditto--All I can add is Rachel Corries parants seem cut from
the same load as Barry Winchels-- willing to let their children do whatever-but then expecting the govt. to make
right what mom an dpop failed to do.No tears for Rachel Corrie.

Like Hurndall, she was killed by an identifiable Israeli soldier. Sorry, but I figure that somewhere on this earth, there are still parents who teach their kids not to run directly into moving earthmoving equipment. If they would have caught her smoking a pack of Marlboros, her parents would probably have grounded her...
As it was, the bulldozer got first nibs.
Geez. Did I say that? I was just wondering what kind of fuss would have been raised if it was a Jewish kid in Seattle that ran into a *righteous* palestinian?

"Is this the best our members of Congress can do for a citizen killed abroad?"
Mmmm... Lets do the math here. Going to a violent region with the intent of helping terrorists + bleeding-heart liberal mentality = A funeral that nobody will attend or cry for.

I guess humanity and the lives of civilians mean a bit more to me then some others.. Apparently if someone of a different ideological background is killed just for his ideas (opposing occupation, house demolishment) he/she deserves to be bulldozed?
Not by MY human standards, sorry

How do you feel about bombs in Pizza Parlors and Busses? How about if someone walked into your Thanksgiving dinner and blew the whole thing sky high? How about if somebody blew up a border crossing? What would you, as a government, do then? Shut it down? Oh no, you mustn't, that would be occupation. This poisonous little byotch thought she would be coddled by the Israelis just like she would have in Seattle. She wasn't. Cry me a river.

She was killed because her ideas told her she could stop a bulldozer. She was an idiot and if the bulldozer didn't get her she would have made sure something else would have. A real superthinker that one.

(Come see the violence inherent in the system!)
To: PeaceCorpsGuy
Rachel Corrie from Olympia was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer in the Rafah refugee camp about a month before Hurndall was shot there. Like Hurndall, Corrie was a volunteer with the Palestinian-led International Solidarity Movement to End the Occupation of Palestine (ISM). This womans death is regrettable.
It is regrettable that she was idiotic enough to stand in front of a moving bulldozer.
It is regrettable that she was naive enough to believe the PLO propaganda.
It is regrettable that her parents were not able to dissuade her from going to Israel, a place well known for violent people just aching to get Americans killed in order to get there cause front page coverage.
It is also regrettable that the American press has people like the author who are more willing to blame soldiers doing their job than to hold individuals responsible for their own foolish and suicidal behavior.

She was supporting the terrorists. Sorry what happened but if you lie down with dogs you might get fleas. To bad so sad.

Apparently if someone of a different ideological background is killed just for his ideas (opposing occupation, house demolishment) he/she deserves to be bulldozed?For the record, she wasn't purposefully "bulldozed." Even her peacenik cohorts-in-crime say the bulldozer driver didn't kill her on purpose.
Now . . . using your logic, it's okay for a demonstrator, any demonstrator -- regardless of their cause or beliefs -- to protest with impunity. Have I got that about right?
Okay, let's say protestors don't like taxis. So they can block every taxi in New York City while society is to treat them like pampered, endangered creatures?
Airplanes? No problem, the anti-airplane goons can stand in front of every prop in the U.S. and the pilots are expected to turn their engines off and sit idly by.
Civil protests carries responsibilities and costs. If you're not willing to pay the price for your actions, especially when the slightest of accidents might kill you, then perhaps you'd be better served writing a Letter to the Editor instead of playing chicken with a bulldozer.

I suspect that Rachel has got a very large dose of justice. A bit more than she could handle.
