    Imo a normal police force would arrest her instead of buldozing and killing her ,

    The terrorits have escalated to the point that it is a military situation. The terrorists are using suicide bombs, explosives, automatic weapons and rockets. It's a military situation not a police matter.

    Unfortunately the PLO/PA has completely abdicated its responsibility to police the areas under its control allowing situations like this to occur.

    I have no sympathy for this girl, other than the fact that she has been used as a pawn after her death. But since her family seems to be fine with it, even participating, I really can't say I feel badly for her family anymore either.

    The PA is a joke. The same police are the ones launching the terrorist attacks at night.

    Well, that tells a LOT about you but I am not suprised at all.

    ...and next day Israel will return all land they stolen and will rebuild all villages that they destroyed and will allow all to return to their homes, right? :)
    After 40 years living under occupation it's really suprising that they didn't elected Mother Theresa instead of Hamas....

    I thought we already covered that. The Trans-Jordan was divided between Jordan and Israel. Palestine is Jordan. There is no difference. The West Bank was even part of Jordan ubtil Jordan attacked Israel.

    Why should I have sympathy for her?

    I really don't have much respect for people who naively enter a war zone to protect terrorists. Other than getting herself killed unnecessarily, what did she do to earn any sympathy?

    her act of burning the US flag and inciting young Palestinians to hate America is not something I find sympathetic, in fact, I think it was disgusting. She was simply used as a pawn as the Palestinians use their own people. They thought that because she is an American we will automatically sympathize with her.

    I can't anwser your question because the whole world doesn't claim that West Bank and Gaza are occupied terroritories. Israel has withdrawn from Gaza and the Jews have rights in the West Bank.

    Because she was innocent young girl that lost her life. People like you makes me sick! You're disgusting.

    You can't answer my question simply because you posting nonsense as usual. Name me few countries that doesn't consider West Bank and Gaza occupied territories. Israel consider those territories disputed but even they never consider those territories as their otherwise they would anexed it already.

    WTF? You mean they can't just give them tickets and ask them to appear in l court?

    What, isn't firing rockets at elementary schools a misdemeanor?

    Some people don't get it. Under Clinton and Janet Reno the decision was made that terrorism is a police matter rather than a national security matter.

    Hamas really doesn't care about Israeli or Palestinian civilians. They are willing to sacrifice thousands of their own for their dream of expelling the Jews and starting a Islamic state.

    Does not it look like the the dream of the Jews returning to their "promised land" for starting a jewish state in the middle of the middle east ? Imo they are the same.

    The Arabs have plenty of land. Why do they require the homeland of the Jews?

    Israel's area is ½ of 1% of the Middle East. It is ridiculious to expect them to give up the little space that they have.
