This is what it boils down to for me.

The quicker we get off our dependence for foreign oil, the quicker we can let the middle east bomb each other into oblivion. A religious war is a war that can never be won, and as a bastion of freedom, we should not get involved in any religious war.

Sad commentary that members of the right applaud the murder of an unarmed american by Israeli Soldiers. Yes, I have very little hope for the quality of the gene pool.

Bystanders say there is no way that the soldier could not see her.

WIth friends like these who needs enemies. I don't think she should have been there protesting. She should not expect U.S. support for doing this on her own. But by the same token, if Israel kills Americans they should not expect any American support. Cut off all aid and all weapons. They are not our friends.

U.S. activist's death a 'regrettable accident,' Israeli court rules - Yahoo! News
Agreed...

I am not one to believe conspiracy theories but 16^9 is making a lot of sense. All of those events may just have something in common. They follow the Golden Rule which is "those with the gold make the rules" and like royalty of old are never held accountable for their transgressions against the rest of us.

Indeed, RIP, Rachel.

No my heart goes out to the real victims of terrorism. Not this idiot who decided to lay down in front of a bulldozer.

Religious...tribal, whichever or both. I agree we should not be there. WHy we support one side over the other now is beyond me.

The only sad commentary is coming from the left on this issue. BTW it was not murder but an unfortunate accident due entirely to the actions of the idiot that was killed.
