It is unfortunate that the young girl died, however, she did put herself in harms way. The media is having a field day with this as usual. Too bad they don't seem to care as much about the Israeli's who have died at the hands of these Pali terrorist animals.

Who was the physician who house the bulldozer was destroying? What was the crime the doctor had convicted for that his house being destroyed?

What explanation is the IDF offering after its initial report that this young American woman ran in front of the bulldozer, when the photos clearly show her simply standing, not moving, in a brightly colored coat and what looks like a bullhorn?

Can't figure out whether they want to burn our flags or carry them reverently through the streets?

Here's a picture of the accident, posted by her local newspaper, taken by her friends just after the dozer backed away from the building.

Sorry she's flat, but she really looked like the most annoying person you'd ever not want to meet.

To paraphrase a poster on the original thread, that coffin is the wrong size -- it should be ten feet long and two inches thick.

Oy, these American exercise addicts! The jocks go to Pamplona to run with the bulls, the liberals go to Gaza to run with the bulldozers. Often enough, the end results come out the same!

Let's see, yesterday was Protest International's "Douse Yourself in Fake Blood and Pretend to be Dead Day", fake photos of the death scene, she was taken to a Pali hospital, now a mock funeral.

Are we absolutely sure that she is really dead, and not the star of an elaborate street theatre?

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the first time they have carried an American flag instead of burning it?

Corrie, 23, a student at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash

When my husband and I first heard that she was from Olympia, our first reaction was; "oh, probably an Evergreen student". Sure enough, she was. This particular college is beyond left-wing. A couple of years ago, they played an audio tape by Mumia for their college commencement ceremonies. There were a few kids who walked out, but the majority stayed.
