A bit of creep has got into this thread. But on the 20th McGrath wrote re: Rachel:

"But at present it seems to me the main focus should be on what is happening at the present, and stopping the killing and destruction that is taking place which makes things worse, and leads to more killing and desruction. That was what Rachel was trying to do."

Rachel was NOT trying to stop any killing. She was trying to stop a bulldozer. And unlike the Chinese student in front of the Chinese tank, which you were favorably comparing to the Israeli dozer operator, she was not standing where she could be seen.

And if the opinions expressed in this forum are anything to go by, she didn't increase any peaceful understanding of the issues, but further polarized existing issues.

Way to go, Rache.
