This is a fascinating question:

Is it really still a mystery why political pilgrims are exterminated by the totalitarian entities they worship?

Explains a lot, really.

Corrie represents an older breed of protester who had the sense not to try to schmooze with the peoples she was purportedly being a heroine to. Arrigoni — well you’d think that at least Hamas would have been friendlier to a sympathizer, but in their paranoia took him as an undercover agent.

I presume the merry men of Hamas thought Sr. Arrigoni was so over the top he could only be a US or Israeli spy planted on them. Poetic justice for certain.

Does one need to excessively explain why “progressive” feminist Naomi Klein called out for bringing “Najaf to New York” in her infamous 2004 column in The Nation, in which she reached her hand out in solidarity to Muqtada al-Sadr and his Islamofascist Mahdi Army in the Iraqi Shi’ite stronghold of Najaf? Bringing Najaf to New York would mean that the Iraqi Shi’ite stronghold, where Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army at one time ran their torture chambers and sowed their terror, would be replicated on America’s shores. What could Naomi Klein possibly see admirable in the vicious nihilistic terror of the Mahdi Army? Would she remain alive for more than sixty seconds upon contact with it?

Anyone who has served in the armed forces of this country and Americans in general irrespective of party or belief in the correctness or the unwisdom of the Iraq war should damn this woman for all eternity. Najaf in April 2004 was the site of a well prepared uprising by Sadr's Mahdi Army that resulted in many US fatalities and many more dead Iraqis. This woman is beyond the pale and some how that message should be made to her.

Wasn’t there a dumb girl who laid in front of an Israeli bulldozer not realizing the driver didn’t see her?

...What is the incident (of Amalek) comparable to? To a boiling tub of water which no creature was able to enter. Along came one evil-doer and jumped into it. Although he was burned, he cooled it for the others.

So, too, when Israel came out of Egypt, and G-d split the sea before them and drowned the Egyptians within it, the fear of them fell upon all the nations. But when Amalek came and challenged them, although he received his due from them, he cooled1 the awe of the nations of the world for them...
