Ben. I asked a simple question- what could she have done? nobody really thinks that once the bomber was on the bus, that he could have been stopped. If you read the entire story, printed in newspapers like haaretz, you will see that she did not know that the man was a suicide bomber 100%, and she thought that the man was just harrasing her. And if she had told the bus driver, who's to say that the bomber wouldn't have just exploded then, killing her as well as the rest of the people? Also, one of her best friends died on the bus. Also an Arab. Hence, your comment in that regard is wrong. So, yes, I do think I have the right to say: what is her crime? Did she really not stop a tragedy, or is she just an innocent victim of a system looking for a scape goat. I think she is being treated unfairly. Sue me.
