You could get crushed by a bulldozer in the USA. Your logic is flawed because if one travels to Israel as a tourist, you are as safe as you would be in any American large city especially since 9/11.

Israel is safe. Ever since the wall was put up around the West Bank, the bus and building bombings have stopped (or rarely occur). Israel has neighborhoods that you wouldn't walk through at night like there are certain places in US you wouldn't walk through either. But out of the numerous countries I've been to in the Middle East I feel the safest there (next would probably be Turkey). You'd think the military is everywhere but you rarely see them. As to Gaza, yes they shoot a few missles per day. The city they primary aim at is Sderot. Sderot in American terms is a small, one light( you turn right to enter city limits, turn left to enter shopping area), rural town that you have to drive way off the beaten path to get to. Past that everything around Gaza is farmland. The only reasons the Gazans haven't been able to inflict heavy missle damage on them is because Israel does not allow the materials in to build full size missle launchers. So Hamas tears the water conduits out of the ground to make portable missle launchers. Hamas runs outside of a building, does a quick setup, visually points at Sderot, fires and then runs away. Why do they run away? Because the heat signature shows up on Israeli radar within seconds.

I think she is just another naive American. By looking at the videos you happen to notice the Arabs (not the rock throwers) are not standing with them. They are standing near the traffic barricade. The Arabs knew what to expect when confronting Israeli soldiers and set them up to be fall guys by not telling them.

As to shooting directly at them: There was no other choice since right behind them was automobile traffic.

As to pre warnings: In the unedited copy you can hear them being warned.

So you back up Ayers Dorne and co., with Obama's permission of course, going to stir the fertilizer pot in the Middle East do you? Does that make you an apologist for the domestic terrorist friends of Obama?

I'm willing to bet that if this woman had been hit by a tear gas cannister in a Muslim country, protesting their killing of civilians, the same people who are saying she should have minded her own business would be calling the Muslims animals, and saying it was proof of their "terrorist" mindset.

They seriously don't want another holocaust and have been fighting those people who surround them all this time. I loved all the earlier wars when the Muslims always took them on one at a time instead of ganging up on them. I think that tells us a lot about their enemies and the fact that they didn't want to get together for fear that the resulting force may take them all over.
Please do not call people who question Israeli's as anti-semites. Its offensive to them,and to your own intelligence.


There is a problem. If there wasn't then ex-soliders wouldn't be commenting like here:

Israeli soldiers expose plight of Palestinian children

The commander gripped the kid, stuck his gun in his mouth . . . The kid was hardly able to walk. We dragged him further, and then he said again: 'One more time this kid lifts a stone, anything, I kill him. No mercy'," one former soldier states.

He was probably caught stoning people. You can kill a person if it hits them in the head. Just by the statement this person was read the riot act to scare him and was released. Look at any video on the net, stoners are never shot at with bullets. They are shot at with gas grenades.
