Quote:
BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza Strip - An American priest and nun spent several hours Wednesday at a militant's home that
Israel has targeted for destruction, the first foreigners to join a weeklong standoff between Palestinian "human shields" and the Israeli air force.

Father Peter Dougherty, 65, and Sister Mary Ellen Gundeck, 55, both Michigan-based peace activists, said they were sent by God to help protect the Palestinians. The pair arrived Wednesday morning at the family home of Mohammed Baroud, a militant involved in rocket attacks on Israel.

So they were sent by god to protect people that are killing innocent people?

Go go Israel! Bomb the crap out of them!

But really, those people are idiots. I really do hope they get blown up too.

The homes are occupied by large families. One of them happens to be a terrorist, but to kill that one terrorist Israel would have to kill the entire family, and that isn't right... it just creates more terrorists for the future.

Would it be alright if in this country entire families would be executed because 1 person in the family is a criminal?

It seems from the article that the militants are crowding into said homes. So it is not just one, from what the article is implying. Yes there are civilians in there as well.

Those civilians are putting themself in danger. They are being stupid. They said they are going to blow that building up. They said to get out. They stay anyway. If they want to die like that, it's their choice. The civilians in there are there for a reason. They are there to PROTECT the terrorists. If someone was protecting the people who want to wipe me and my fellow countrymen off the face of the planet, they are helping the enemy and can be killed. It really should not have to boil down to that, but it must.

They may not have a choice in "protecting them". You have to remember society there is very different. If the civilians just tried to leave the terrorists might hurt them or their families. Even worse others might take retribution on them for allowing the Israelis to take the terrorists lives. Personally I think its just a really messed up situation, and I feel that this priest and nun are just making it worse. It just goes to show that that Xenophobia against Israelis is just as prominent in this era as the last. That is my only explanation of them trying to protect the terrorists, that their biases against the Israelis make it impossible for them to think that maybe the men who are attacking Israelis with rockets arn't very "nice" people.
