Quester, a public school teacher, is joining about 20 other American activists who are traveling to the Palestinian territories to act as human shields for Palestinians

Perhaps we should start a regular program for public school teachers who'd like to participate. If we can do so, pretty soon the schools will be in the hands of teachers like Summer and Teacher317(?). Then I can send my kids there instead of paying for it.

We could call it the "Israeli's American Education Enhancement Program".

from the Observer (UK) - the sunday version of the Guardian - (I'm having trouble making the link with this computer)

As we approached the compound we could see the tanks and armoured personnel carriers ringing his sprawl of offices and barracks. On every side were soldiers taking positions and aiming their weapons.

Approaching closer the Israeli army tried to prevent us following a delegation from the Palestinian solidarity movement into the compound, led by José Bové, the French farmers leader and anti-globalisation protester.

In a surreal touch Bové and his colleagues had marched through the ruins of the town, even as fighting continued. With hands above their heads, and carrying palm fronds as Easter symbols of peace, they approached Arafat's compound with two columns of heavily armed Israeli infantry jogging the last few hundred metres behind.

Here is the common thread. These are the same idiots who protest anything Western or Capitalist.
