9. I might add....
Corrie was attempting to stop a military mission...she obviously confused that with civil disobedience. The military mission in gaza for the bulldozers was not just to uncover tunnels, etc. but clear fields of fire so that israeli troops are safer when on missions, or to protect israeli civilians near the borders. IDF military missions are not going to be stopped by the Palestinians nor by their supporters. Such actions would in fact endanger israelis, which is precisely why those specific missions exist.

she entered a war zone and chose a side, and acted upon her beliefs....i dont think she really understood what she was doing...but I do wonder what the ISM thinks of gaza these days...and the fact that many of the palestenians there now prefer israeli occupation to their present rulers.
