American Protestor killed in Gaza

While I applaud those that seek to fight oppression non-violently, anyone who gets involved in that sort of thing should be well-aware of the risks involved. One needs only to look to MLK or Gandhi for evidence.

Having said that, if it is shown that the operator of the bulldozer acted with careless disregard, then he/she should most certainly be punished.

Unfortunately, I think our close relationship with Israel could interfere with any justice due. To me, it's like the American pilot that killed the Canadians...I don't think anything serious or severe will come out of either case.
