You are assuming she was deliberately killed and that it wasn't an accident. The situation doesn't seem that clear to me.

Is there any moral justification to bury alive someone who is participating in non violent protest? My god she was an American citizen, one of us. Well, the fact is she had a long history of virulent anti-American behavior in foreign countries. She willingly put herself in danger. She was not simply protesting in the American way, but was doing it Greenpeace style. Put yourself under a bulldozer, and you ought to be prepared to die. An American citizenship does not grant us a right to live if we take ours bodies and put them under friggin' bulldozers. This woman was at fault and no friggin' body else.

Look, I've sat in the driver's seat of a bulldozer. You can't see anything right in front of you. The poor unfortunately woman put herself in a dangerous situation, and it does no good to blame the dozer operator or Israel. Israel has been hit plenty by the other side, and it is always innocents who are killed -- people who were just trying to go about their own business, unlike the woman who was trying to interfere. I doubt that Sharon or the dozer driver are happy that they killed the woman, but she put herself in the situation and she alone is responsible for her death.
