Their son was severly wounded when he arrived in Israel. Having no brain or mental acuity is pretty serious. And I have to wonder, why does Israel continue to let these pieces of liberal shit in?

An IDF spokesperson has said there was heavy stone-throwing and troops fired tear gas during the demonstration, though protesters said the stone-throwing was sporadic Well, I suppose that changes everything then, doesn't it?

I'll just wait until Bryan assures us that the stone-throwing was sporadic. Then we'll know that's wrong.

Every once in while we agree. First, this guy was a 38 year old adult. Second, he was going to protest against Israel. Third, as you pointed out - you're entering a war zone.

its akin to contributory negligence: when you knowingly put yourself in that situation, you've got to know the potential result... A shame he died. But the litigation from the parents - frivolous.

This reminds me of Nick Berg. You know, the guy who went to Iraq and got beheaded in a Jihadi snuff film. Then his dad blamed George Bush.

GGGGOOOOAAAALLLL.

Wait, that was f-ed up, wasn't it?

Well it's not like they threw him in front of a bulldozer or anything!

I'd love that anonymous coward to show a post where I have defended stuff the palestinians do.

I will say in Bryan's defense he does castigate the Palestinians about as often as the Israelis.

How in the bonnie blue blazes did this guy even get a passport or allowed entrance into another country? You think stunts like this would have popped up on somebody's radar screen:

Are you saying that whatever the IDF did was OK because it was a "war zone" and this guy was protesting against Israeli policy?

"Anderson did not throw any stones and was struck after he had returned to the village, witnesses said."

The allegation is use of undue force. Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong, but I don't understand how you can dismiss it out of hand.
