This is Sad...

A young American college student was killed today as she tried to stop an IDF bulldozer from tearing down a house in the Gaza strip.

The full story is here.

I cannot help but wonder what sorts of things she had been taught, either at home or in school. Why would she think that trying to defend the perpetrators of terrorism from the consequences of their attacks was a moral action?

Rachel belonged to a group called the Innternational Solidarity Campaign, a group with a long record of clashes with, and arrests by, the IDF.

They've attempted to stop several other IDF operations, to include the seige of Arafat's compound months back. Funnily enough, many of the dozen or so news accounts I read about this fail to mention that, and described her just a "peace activist."
