2. The "Ghandi" call
I'm so over seeing people call for the Palestinians to be more GHandi-like and then when they or their supporters DO undertake actions of NON violent resistance they get killed and called terrorists anyway.

I'm not to sure what people think Ghandi did anyway - that movement used similar tactics like non violent obstruction - it's not like they simply went around handing out flyers asking nicely if the Brit' could leave them alone.

Just a shame that the only time these non violent actions are even noticed in the western media is when it's carried out by a westerner (particularly a young pretty one like Rachel) the dead Palestinian peaceful protestors are just another anonymous death in the OT
