Western ’Human Shields’ Battered in Mideast
2003-05-02

Young Western activists living with Palestinians to act as "human shields" against Israeli raids are debating how to minimize their risk of dying after suffering a sudden rash of casualties. In March, an Israeli military bulldozer killed a 23-year-old American woman while demolishing a Gaza home alleged to belong to a Palestinian militant. A British man aged 21 and a 25-year-old American were shot and gravely wounded this month."The whole issue is under discussion. We have to find better ways of protecting ourselves," Tom Wallace, spokesman for the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM), told Reuters."Maybe we will have to (keep more distance) from areas near soldiers or where they are carrying out action in the refugee camp because this provokes them too much," said Tom Dale, 18, a British ISM activist in the violence-torn Rafah area of Gaza.
In the words of Orin Hatch...."Dumbass!!"
