They are such Idiots.... everyone knows after being run over by a tank you don't need a coffin that large. :-)

Bada bing! Boy, you're a tough crowd! Did you hear the one about the Palestinian and the Jew who .......

[Revolting cat!]

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!

[Paul_B]

It is. And I am disgusted by 95% of the comments in various threads on this incident.

[spunkets]

"Dr. Rantisi is the head of Hamas."

That's a very important point. They don't just bulldoze houses, because it's cool. They bulldoze them, because they housed killers and their associates. The media won't mention this. This nitwit was attempting to stand in the way of the destruction of the Hamas leaders den. She was their ally and supporter of the homicide bombing campaign.

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?

If you look at those pictures, those are two different bulldozers. It looks like the post-crushing photo may have been staged for propaganda. If she was killed by the bulldozer in the photo where she is standing, why is there a different bulldozer in the death scene. It looks like they threw down a red coat and faked the second photo. She was probably actually killed in a different location.

LOL

I say we buy the bulldozer and display it at the Smithsonian

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

I'm surprised they had an unburned American flag handy!

[Revolting cat!]

Welcome to the club! As I said on another thread, I am disgusted by 95% of sanctimonious posturing on these threads! The tasteless jokes will fly out there whether or not anybody here postures with their holier than thou piousness! It's best to chill out!

Does anyone remember Amy Biehl?

Vaguely! She was killed by thugs who thought she was a white South African.

Tanks for the memories.

"Mess with the bull-you get the horns."

And the bulldozer...

Guess she just expected that the Israelis would cave to her stupid little protest, just like we do here in the US when enviro-freakies blow up buildings, spike trees, and vandalize logging equipment.

I'm glad that the Israelis are not letting the antics of a few glassy-eyes lunatics like whats-her-face get in the way of expelling the Moors from Israel so that the Jewish people can finally live in peace.

Note to Rachel: In Gaza heels are a must...flats are such a no-no.

What do you call three Rachel Corries?
The Squishy Chicks.

One point I have to make. To all those who feel sympathy for this dead cretin, take a look at the expression in her eyes.

I'm glad she's split this mortal coil--she looked nuts enough to strap on an explosives belt.

[ambrose]

She was another spoiled rich kid white girl from America... she was over in S. Africa, agitating against Aparthied... and wound up being beaten to death by a mob of ANC supporters...

[ISonnet]

"She should have been burning the "DON'T TREAD ON ME" flag."

LOL

I think she got the gravity of her mistake.

[Oztrich Boy]

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?

Thank you for your contribution and welcome to FR. May I recommend that you read James Taranto's comment on this matter on OpinionJournal.com. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Here's the last sentence from it:

"It's a shame that Rachel Corrie died the way she did. It's shameful that she lived the way she did."

[AppyPappy]

The bulldozer has limited sight because it is armored. She should have stayed out of the way.

[Henrietta]

"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."

Gee, I wonder why they didn't put that picture of her burning the American flag in the hometown photo spread?

[SERE_DOC]

No I don't find it tasteless. I find giving aid to terrorists tasteless.
