Acorn said:Well, considering Ms Corrie was killed underquestionable circumstances in Gaza, we could grant that at least she was willing to put her life on the line for her beliefs.
Doubtful. Do you really think she would have behaved the same way if she had any indication that she'd be killed?
CivU said:I don't wish to reduce this to semantics, but the "we" and "you" distinction can simply represent a differention between a person supporting one cause and another person opposing it; I see no reason to assume that this ensures a difference in nationality...
Who cares. Her nationality doesn't matter. If she really wants to kill Americans, she should either be deported or locked up. If she's just being an idiot but really beleives that strongly that the US is evil, she should leave of her own accord. I'm not seing why you think that saying "these people" should leave the country is racist. And I'm wondering why you're making an issue of that statement instead of the one uttered by her.
CivU said:Her loyalties could be based on the American support of Israel...though I insist we do not reduce this to a futile battle over the deeply rooted Israeli / Palestinian issue, one must recognize that, if she is Palestinian as you suggest, she must have some connection to the fate of her peoples who are dying everyday in Israel...
Hey here's an idea. If she doesn't want her people "dying everyday in Israel", maybe she should tell them to stop blowing themselves up in Israel. That would probably work a lot better than threatening to kill Americans.
