A couple of limey perspectives of the palestinian situation :

Well if the IDF investigation says that's what happened , I'd like to see another investigation before excepting their version of events solely .

A sad story.
Everybody says this is the fault of the Israelis or it's the fault of the Palestinians.
Neither - these two groups are just the boneheads who can't fix something that was given to them broke.
The whole situation in the Middle East is the fault of the British and the French who carved the place up to suit their interests.

Armed peace activists ? Uh yeah , then they'd have to be pretty stupid going up against the IDF . Afterall , it's impossible that IDF forces would shoot unarmed people .
BadAssBookie @ Thu Apr 17, 2003 4:20 pm
Totally impossible.
Unless you consider a rock a deadly weapon.

Whether it's throwing rocks, petro bombs, or shooting these people have declared themselves combatants. The IDF has every right to shoot or arrest them. These are the same people who cheered on 9/11. They have shown us were there sympathies lay.
electricbuford @ Thu Apr 17, 2003 5:12 pm
Yep , shooting peace activists will help solve the problems over there . And of course every single palestinian they try to protect is a terrorist who supported the attacks of 9/11 .
polemarch1 @ Thu Apr 17, 2003 5:24 pm
They're not peace activists. They're terrorist sympathizers.
electricbuford @ Thu Apr 17, 2003 5:35 pm
So if a person goes over there and tries to protect a palestinian civilian , he or she is a terrorist sympathizer ? Every palestinian is a terrorist ? No matter how young ?
Well , you must have pretty solid intelligence on the absolute truth as to what is going on over there . You're totally convinced that there's only one side to the story .
Well , in that case I rescind my suggestion made a few days ago that you sign up for the U.S. military . It seems like you would be of better service in the Israeli forces . Perhaps you could fill one of the vacant spots listed in the link below :

Looks like the left wing conspiracy may be taking hold in the Israeli government :
