This is the way it shall be through our might...
The thing is Israel didn't run anyone over oops Toad said that already. An individual human being drove the dozer. I'm sure it was an intense situation where bad decisions are made quickly but you can't just check your humanity when you punch the clock. The scarey part to me is that folks can get comfortable ordering, participating, and justifying acts like this in the name of security. This could be our future.
