Some peace "activists" (gotta love that word--just like the "activists" who disassemble themselves and their immediate neighbors at weddings), were "abused" on their way home from Israel.

You know, I read the entire article, and I couldn't figure out what the "abuse" was. All that was reported was some loud criticism. Why am I surprised that idiot British peaceniks have such thin epidermi?

Well, you know, one man's abuse is another man's righteous indignation.

Sayeth a peace activist[1]:
"We were fired at with live ammunition with a complete disregard for our safety and human rights."

And yet, they all lived to tell the tale. Let's see if we can figure out how they survived.

We've seen this story elsewhere. He got hit by a bullet fragment when the Israelis fired at the ground nearby. (One of the bullets hit a rock. I wonder if that rock has been or will be thrown by someone who hasn't yet joined the homicide brigade.)

In other words, "complete disregard" is "they intentionally didn't shoot at us".

We've also found that any criticism is "abuse" and that "peace activist" is "someone who contributes to a terror campaign".

I'm beginning to understand why the French are worried about language purity.
