Great! Target practice of the Israelis soldiers! LET'S ROLL!

Quester, who teaches first grade in the New York borough of Brooklyn.

We live in New York and I have a 10-month-old son. This scumbag is one reason why I will NEVER send my son to the cesspool of NYC's public school system.

I hope Quester gets his wish to become a human shield.

Another perfect example of the fruits of a godless American education.

These human shields should shield everyone. They ought to mingle with the Israelis, go to synagogue, go out to eat, go shopping, walk along the street. Maybe they could shield some Israelis from a suicide bomb blast.

What the h__l are these bozo's doing? "I'm on my spring break from an elementary school and I'm here to help you." Wonder if their compassion will extend to the suicide bombers? Maybe they can server as seconds, and detonate themsleves if the suicide bombers misfire.

Don't hold your breath!

"We U.S. citizens have a special responsibility to stop the madness that's going on there," (Quester) said.

Too bad you'll be doing the exact opposite. Don't come back.

Guess their safer there, than in Tel Aviv cafe.

I say bombs away on 'em.

"I'm a Jew," Quester said. "The Israeli army and government are perpetrating a great evil on the people of Palestine, and they're doing so in my name. I can't let this stand."

This is disturbing. What are U.S. Jews teaching their children?

Paging the Bruderhoffs..call for the Bruderhoff cult.

In case anyone doesn't remember they went to Bagdad to act as human shields. They're also famous...at least here in Western Pennsylvania... for holding vigils against the death penalty and sending flowers to convits on death row.

Let'em go, they probably never return home! If anything the Israelis soldiers are known for their don't take crap from nobody attitude!

Darwin Award Candidates.

[rintense]

The Republican Warrior Princess says, 'KILL THEM ALL!'

[dalereed]

I hope they use them to test the effectieness of their munitions!

[Husker24]

Maybe Jesse Jackson will go.

[RoseofTexas]

OH PLEASEEEEE LET IT BE SO DEAR LORD! LOL!

Steve Quester, who teaches first grade at Brooklyn's Children's School. Located only blocks from the Brooklyn waterfront, the kids have a front-row view of the lower Manhattan skyline. But on the morning of the tragedy Quester and colleagues calmly closed the curtains to shield 6-year-olds from the nearby catastrophe. The school, he said, needed to be a "sanctuary."

Odds are that "small" group will get smaller.

More useful idiots...One would like to believe the airport tarmac is as far as they get. This character should have brought his wife along. I'm sure he wouldn't mind offering her "services" to the barbarians he identifies with.
