Au contraire. I think it is you who errs because you express respect for non-violent protest ONLY if it is for principles you agree with. But of course. If some guy participates in a non-violent protest by putting his body in your house, you’d be perfectly in the right to crack his friggin’ skull. No dang body has the right to obstruct your freedom in your own dang house. There are non-violent protests in view of valid rights, and there are non-violent protests for invalid rights. That dang woman was obstructing the government of Israel on its own friggin’ soil as it carried out one of its operations. The government was not denying a single one of her freedoms. She and only she put herself in the way of the dang bulldozer and got flattened. She stood for her principles, and then got squished for them. *SSsssporrrk* If hundreds, or even one, Iraqi sat down, unarmed, in front of an advancing tank to protest the US incursion, should we mow them/him down? Hell no. That is really not the dang point here. Here is the dang point. If even one Iraqi sits down in front of a tank to halt an American military operation, that Iraqi is a friggin’ enemy of the United States and threatens to destroy what may be a critical maneuver. If then after warning this stupid Iraqi to disperse he should accidentally find himself squished, the fault lies NOT with the United States. It lies with the dumb Iraqi. No dang Iraqi has a friggin’ right to demand continued life if he is gonna jump from the dang 100th floor of a building. That goes for that friggin’ pancake in Israel too. What would we look like if we did that? The same as the Israelis look for what they did. We’d look like fokes who squished an anti-American idiot. And dass all.
