I hate to sound crass - but if you are a civilian who’s put themselves into an area where military operations are occurring (ex: Rachel Corrie or Benjamin Linder) or are a reporter doing the same thing, your safety cannot be guaranteed.
Oftentimes the terrorists will go into civilian areas in hopes of collateral damage. And/or hoping the Israelis won’t shoot back.
And this was ALWAYS understood until leftists want to use it to beat others with it to advance their goals.
Anything to the rumor Ms Corrie was actually a Israeli or American or both covert double or triple agent that got offed accidentally in what was supposed to be a near miss to build her credibility with the paliwogs?
