Well, you stand in the way of bulldozer with a job to do, and there's a real chance you won't win the confrontation.

The hubris of these peace activists is astounding! As if their lives are so important that Israeli troops will abandon their mission because of the activists presence! What self-absorption! What idiocy!

The Israeli Army (claimed) Rachel was killed accidentally when she ran in front of the bulldozer.

The photo shows the bulldozer just ran over her. Darwin says: "Sometimes when you stand your ground, you end up in the ground."

Her final words:

"HOLD MUH BEER..."

I am going to save my sympathy for someone else.

man, that's rough. She played poker with a dozer and her bluff was called. Hope she was right with God. A prayer for her family.

This sentimental piece should be entitled "Ode to a Leftist Idiot."

[Drango]

Yeah well look at this way. Wherever she is in the afterlife, she can be used as one of the 70 virgins promised to the brave suicide martyrs.

Don't worry about the fact that she may NOT be a virgin. I'm sure the guys won't mind having their way with her.

Actually, her final words were "Hold muh bier".

It's not a game. It's not a sorority initiation. It's not a vacation.

It's real. It's a combat zone. You will die if you get in the way.

Any questions?

[Pushi]

My mama taught me to come in out of the rain and also to stay out of the way.

[motexva]

Would this idiot have "shielded" Israeli children from a suicide bomber's blast? Probably not.

Oh well, that's what bulldozers do - get rid of debris.

This is a sad story!

I am just wondering why people think they can go over to other countries, stand in the streets and protest, stand in front of a bulldozer with a bullhorn and it be tolerated! They think they can enjoy the SAME freedoms we have here....hmmmmm....maybe these people should think about that for a minute......or two.......

From the ISM website:

The conditions here are abhorrent, the violence is disgusting, and everyone is trying to survive and resist against odds that seem overwhelming…

Meanwhile...Yassir Arafat is listed recently as one of the richest men in the world and his wife had a very hectic day shopping in Paris.

Colleagues of Rachel comfort each other in Najjar hostpital, Rafah, Occupied Gaza. Ha'aretz newspaper reported that a second activist was also injured at the same location. (Mohammad Al-Moghair)

I don't seem that thinking is their forte.
