I blame Israel, however, anyone who is in the least aware of world situations knows that *you do not fuck with Israel*. They *will* run you over with a bulldozer, blow up your house, shoot rockets from helicopters into your compound, etc. They simply do not care who happens to be in the path of the bulldozer/bomb/rockets, because, in their minds, it is Israel or everyone else, and they have chosen Israel.
Israel doesn't back down, they don't apologize, and they pretty much put out an "our way or death" attitude. I think the woman's death is tragic, but it is tragically stupid.
Whether I agree or disagree with Israel is immaterial, because if I get in the way of what they decide to do, I'm gonna die. I know this, but apparently the young woman either overlooked that fact or failed to allow the knowledge to stay her from martyrdom.
The world is a fucked up place these days. I hope it gets better.
