Sad story...
http://www.nationalexpositor.com/News/1071.html
"I put my hand on her chest to stop the streaming blood. She told me that she could not breathe, her body trembled and she closed her eyes," said Ra'd Abu Saif of his 12-year-old daughter Safa's last moments after she was shot by an Israeli sniper last Saturday.
Safa was shot in the left side of her chest while she was inside her home in Jabaliya, northern Gaza. An ambulance tried to reach her but Israeli soldiers opened fire at it, wounding a paramedic and causing the tires to lose air, and so she bled to death three hours after she was wounded.
Her 39-year-old father Ra'd, 37-year-old mother Samar, and the rest of Safa's family surrounded her, praying for her safety. Her father pressed on the wound while her brother Ali held her hands as her body was severely trembling. She asked her father to help her to breathe.
"Dad, I cannot breathe, all of you leave me please, let me breathe, enough, enough," were Safa's last words, according to her father.
Ra'd tried CPR, but he failed. No more pulse and no more breath.
Safa had gone to fetch some clothes from the second floor when, according to Ra'd, "the Israeli sniper on a nearby building shot her in her chest."
The gunshot penetrated both her chest and the door of the room, and blood poured from her chest and back.
"I heard a gunshot and soon her scream filled the house. I went upstairs, [and saw] her knees gave in and slowly she fell down while calling for her mother," said her 17-year-old brother Ali.
Her father carried his wounded daughter and tried to evacuate her to the hospital but when he reached the door of the house, his brothers prevented him from leaving as Israeli snipers were shooting anything moving.
Several phone calls later, the ambulance center told the family to evacuate the girl. Her mother Samar carried Safa but as soon as she left the house, the Israeli soldiers opened fire at her and the wounded girl fell to the ground. Samar dragged her into the house.
While Safa laid dying, the family waited as explosions, gunshots, drones and helicopters sounded all around them. Israeli forces cut the electricity and shot the water tanks on the roof. The radio and mobile phone batteries lost their power."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
From Ghandi to MLK, history has shown that non-violent protest (especially when you are in the right) will yield far more results than waging a guerilla war against your oppressors.
With every suicide bomb, whether it is justified or not, the Palestinians lose respect and their ability to negotiate. Their standing is diminished, and their goals are pushed farther out of their reach.
To see that the Israeli's are in the position of power is not to advocate their side, it is just the reality of the situation. They can continue to do what they please with little consequence.
Until the Palestinians change course the cycle of violence will keep going round and round.
Man, not to be a dick but what does any of that have to do with a 12 year old getting sniped?
approach?

Why do you feel it is the Palestinians who need to change the way they behave? Surely that can also be said for the Israelis, what is it that gives the Israelis the right to treat people like this? Oh yes i forgot the unquestionable support from the west.
But yea it has nothing to do with the little girl, what are your thoughts on that?

blow up cafes and buses = loss of many innocent lives
snipers = loss of one innocent life
when one life is lost, a name is attached to it.
when many lives are lost, it is a nameless event.
Tell that to the Algerians. Tell it to the Vietnamese.
Also...you think that India won independence from Colonial rule without violent protest? And you think the blacks in the U.S turned the other cheek?
What planet are you on?
Until people like yourself cease being passive supporters of Israeli terrorism and cease believing the pro-Israeli propaganda spewed out by the western media on a daily basis, then these atrocities will continue.
in the past month 120 Palestinians have been killed, compared with just two Israelis. This is the norm in that region.
What was your point again?

You left out F-16's dropping bombs on nameless innocents. You forgot nameless kids and farmers blowing off limbs from leftover cluster bombs. Nameless event my ass.
His comments were typical of the skewered thinking of many people in the west who sit blinking at the mainstream media, lapping it all up unthinkingly.
Kind of makes you despair, doesn't it?
Messed up large... when do the participants sit back and realize what has become?

I think they might have meant that it's easier to focus on the sadness and how shocking the story is when it's just one person. You're able to read details about the last moments of this persons life instead of seeing "the suicide bomber maimed 24 people and killed 6 others". We know this young girl was laying on the floor for three hours, slowly dying because help wasn't allowed to come. We know just what happened to Safa. I think that may be what the poster meant.
i don't know the validity of this story but if it's true - it really shows what people are capable of ...
It's true.

Good grief, what a bunch of stupid comparisons. Palestine is not some "colony" a thousand or ten thousand miles away. That makes a huge diffence.
But the glaring oversight on your part is that Israel has one of the most powerful militaries in the world, and Palestine basically doesn't have one at all. They have a bunch of small arms and suicide bombs.
Hate to break it to you buddy, but there is no way in the world that the Palestinians are going to win consessions from the Israelis with violence.
As we have all seen, whatever the Palestinians do out of violence will be revisited on them 10 fold.
It's people like you who give me no sympathy for the Palestinians. If they had a MLK or Ghandi type leader and the entire people decided to stop their half of the violence, then I would have TONS of sympathy toward them and would point my finger at Israel.
The Palestinians need to change becuase their methods are futile! Would anybody care to debate that?
Israel is in no position to conceed anything due to voilence inflicted on them by the Palestinians. They can withstand whatever the Palestinians throw at them.

so ... if we're neighbours and i decide to take food from your garden and then i decide to build a shack in your yard and so on and so on ... are you saying you will do nothing?
I'm really, really sick of how people seem to think that the Israelis are ALWAYS ONLY RESPONDING TO VIOLENCE FROM THE PALESTINIANS.
IN FACT, Israel has started the bloodshed MANY times, regardless of what your pathetic news sources will say.
I'm going to assume you're slow like the rest of them, so allow me to explain what I'm saying:
No matter what, the Palestinians will suffer under the Israelis. The Palestinians completely surrendering and marching the streets instead is so unrealistic that the fact you brought it up makes me wonder. You do understand that they've been oppressed for 60 years. They're not about to simply walk down the streets like MLK.
Also, even once they do that, what do you honestly think would happen? All the countries will suddenly go, "You know what? Let's just turn against Israel, and make them stop that... I can't wait till our next UN conference..." Do you know how many resolutions Israel has ignored? The US will still back up Israel, and give them plenty of money. your idea is so flawed and unrealistic that I don't see how you can think it would work.
OH NO! NCFAN'S FIGURE IS POINTED RIGHT AT US GUYS!!! SHOULD WE STOP KILLING PALESTINIANS?!?!!?!
The US will be tucking tail out of Iraq and the whole thing will be considered a failure militarily much like Vietnam, You do realize that right?
History shows us the mentality of "resistance is futile" does not pan out.

Is this fair? No, it is not.
Should humans be better than this?
I think so, but I think we can all agree that we haven't gotten that far yet as a species.
Palestine lost a war in 1948, and ever since then Israel has been the dominant player in the region. Several more wars have ensued, and the Arabs have lost them all.
At this point, Israel's power is so great and deeply solidified that we cannot even comprehend their nation going away.
I'm not saying this is right or wrong. I'm not advocating Israel of anything they have done to get where they are. I'm just saying, DAMN, the Palestinians need to wise up and quit throwing generation after generation down the fucking shitter becuase of lost pride and religious fundamentalism.
I mean, does it make sense for American Indians to try and carve out a state of their own in the U.S.?
Do they deserve one?
Hell yes they do.
Where they fucked over in the 19th and 20th centuries?
Hell yes they were.
Same principle. Quit fighting a lost cause. Know when to hold'em and when to fold'em.
At this point, I think the Israelis and Palestinians are fighting out of pure hate. They hate each other so much, that they cannot fathom living together in peace.
this quote above is totally true they will never ever coexist let alone live next to eachother in peace .......
