At work, so I can't watch the vids. I will try later though.

Plus, no matter where I'm at--I try not to stand in front of bulldozers as they are tearing things up. And it's not like it was going 60 mph and she couldn't get out of the way.

Title: Documentary on Life of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip

Life of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip? Probably sucks given their constant back and forth with Israel. I suggest they surrender hostilities if they wish to improve their lives instead of rotting in a cesspool of a war zone.

Regardless if you drive slow enough for people to have time to get out of the way, that still doesn't give you the right to mow 'em down into the ground.

Try that defense pretty much anywhere except Gaza, see how well it flies in a court.

Israel has a huge problem with how it handles its occupied territories, and until they admit that and deal with it, the violence there is going to continue and people are going to continue dying. Saying the palestinians should stop acting out is easy, but when you're trapped inside tiny bits of land which gets nibbled at one bit at a time by Israel or settlers, your infrastructure is smashed, you're denied resources to repair it, unemployment is catastrophic, hospital care is spotty at best AND you're getting randomly shelled, rocketed and sniped at... Well, how would you expect them to react in such a situation, really?

Livestock isn't treated this badly in the west, yet our governments turn a blind eye towards Israel because of the holocaust, something that happened over sixty years ago.

Admitting there's a problem is a first step towards fixing it. Until that moment, nothing can, nor will ever change.

IF this video doesn't address the problems of BOTH sides I'm not interested.

With regards to that woman who was run over by a bulldozer in Israel, you do realize that heavy machinery like that have horrible visibility and thus the driver didn't even know she was there.

Look at this and tell me that there was no way the driver could miss her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File9R-pic0010.jpg

-edit- Oh and I'd like to add that she was a idiot.

She was from here. bout 20 miles away.

Feel sorry for her family.
Admire her convictions but standing in front of a bulldozer is a bad idea anyway you cut it.
