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.

Hey Kate, why don't you fly on over to Paris and ask Suha Arafat how she's enjoying her $22 million per annum?
I'm gonna hurl.
And, of course, it's the Joooooooos fault, not Il Presidente Arafat's...
Shoehorning every concept in to the Marxist template... That's the LEFTIST WAY!
APf
Leftism is a mental illness.
Mr Mojo. There you again clouding the issue with the facts. It's exactly that type of nitpicky attention to the truth that gives us conservative types a bad name. Keep up the good work :)
What do the kidnapping of a pro-Palestinian British activist and her family, the assault on the Rafah border crossing by disgruntled policemen, and firing on the Gaza residence of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas have in common? My guess: Palestinian politics.
WEll....isn't THAT special???
BTW...I heard Rick Folbaum talking about the Gaza Strip today..and referred to it as the "occupied territory"...
I thought that the Israelis turned over that strip of land...to the Palestinians...wouldn't that then become THEIR land...instead of "occupied territory"?
A pity they turned her loose.
I just don't get it.The extent to which some of these lefties will go to delude themselves is unbelievable.
It is occupied by a group of thugs, but Israel gave up their God given land.
Not only is she a loon, her education is a bit lackig too:
"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.'"
She should have said; They haven't any choice. They believe their only option is to fight in this manner.
Or something to that affect.
What a Marxist, liberal, stoopid cvnt!
And that short comment speaks volumes.
They have no choice but to blow up babies.
They have no choice but to kill innocent wives, husbands, daughters, sons, grandmothers, grandfathers.
They have no choice but to kidnap innocents.
They have no choice but to steal aid money from the peeples.
It is astounding that libs have yet to figure out that as long as they rationalize what these terrorist murderers do as understandable, they prolong the carnage.
If the world as one would UNCONDITIONALLY condemn indiscriminate killings, terrorism would be diminished substantially.
But libs are so deranged they argue that these terrorists have no choice but to kill, wound, rape innocents.
No choice? They have lot's of choices!! They CHOOSE to kill innocent babies! They are not forced to do so!!!
Gee whiz, wonder how much she would love them if they cut her head off? Probably propose marriage if she didn't die.
