tejek,

re:The Seattle papers claimed they were tearing down the house in order to build another section of Sharon's ridiculous wall around Israel and Palestine.

I'm fairly certain the merits of a wall have little to do with the issue of her death.

re:And she would not have died if the hate did not run so deep in Palestine. The Israeli bulldozer driver could not help but see her.......

She would not have died by simply stepping aside. The driver may or may not have seen her, we weren't there. Why did her friends not pull her aside and rescue her?

re:I think she was endangering her life by being a human shield

She absolutely was, it's a waste - she could have been more effective doing other (safer) things.

re:Apparently, some on this thread think some American lives are more valuable than others

I find that sad, but when you place yourself in front of a bulldozer you need to consider the risks. Her life was taken in a vain effort to stop a driver of a bulldozer - how that would be an effective action for change I can't understand.
