Burton: Kidnapping Made Her Love Palestinians More
Associated Press ^ | January 3, 2006

Kate Burton, the British aid worker freed by her Palestinian kidnappers says she regrets endangering her parents, who were abducted with her while on a visit to the Gaza Strip last week.

Burton said most Palestinians had few opportunities for education and economic advancement. "They've got no choice, so they (the kidnappers) think that fighting in this way is the only way."

The kidnapping had made her "love the Palestinian people even more," she said, adding that the majority were peace-loving and disapproved of violence.

I just don't get it.The extent to which some of these lefties will go to delude themselves is unbelievable.

What's to get?

She's just another "desert loving English(wo)man."

Apologies to Peter O'toole, Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness and the Mad Hatter.

Demented bimbo. She belongs in a padded cell where she and her stupid mouth can't do anyone else any damage.

You just can't help some people.... the problem is that the press makes a big deal when nutty people who have intentionally put themselves in harm's way are kidnapped as a result.

I would say "Stockholm syndrome" but this nutcase was already sympathetic to her captors before they kidnapped her.

Lets call it the "Dimbulb Syndrome."

Israel should have a little fun with the fool and inform her new buddies that she is really a high-ranking Mossad agent.

God invented "Palestinians" so that insane people can have a purpose and cause.
