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.

[Russell Scott]

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.

"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.

"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.

Maybe Jesse Jackson will go.

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."

Small group of American activists head to Palestinian territories to act as human shields

Odds are that "small" group will get smaller.

[Publius6961]

Best news I've heard for months!
Darwin award winners not much good for anything else.

Can we contribute to the tickets? Free tickets!!!

"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."

The phraseology and style are right out of the Campus Left playbook. "Not in my name". "International". "Solidarity". I remember meeting guys like these in another era. There was always the air of failure and stale cabbage about them. The Chairperson of the Cleveland Chapter of the International Movement to Free Whoever turns out to be a part time teacher from a high school, who at age 50, is still working on a "thesis", and has drawers full of letters from revolutionary "friends" in Third World countries, who are, for the most part, obvious con men.

A lot of these guys will jump at the chance of a free ticket to anywhere overseas and fifteen seconds of fame. The Left is the sump for broken people seeking acceptance at any price.

After seeing it for real and not media spin, they may come back Zionists.

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

Stop the suicide bombers, dope. If you dare.

It is a tribute to the IDF that it doesn't put tank tracks all over these idiots.

[pa_dweller]

"We're going to put ourselves in the way between Israeli military aggression and a helpless civilian population,"

Yeah? A 150 gr. .308 ain't gonna care!

[watchin]

These dupes will place themselves as human shields, and be disposed of like Danny Pearl when the Palestinians have no more use for them. Some people will never get it.

[sheik yerbouty]

The Israelis could bar them from entering.
