Freed British hostage to remain in Gaza

A 25-year-old British human rights worker kidnapped and later released by Palestinian gunmen in the Gaza Strip will stay in the region, her family said on Saturday....

“Kate remains committed and passionate about working alongside the Palestinians to improve their external image and alleviate the difficult conditions being suffered by the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.”

I tried for a while to come up with an insightful comment to this story, but I just couldn't. These people have such a different mindset than I do that I can't even begin to fathom what motivates them. You can check out the organization that Kate Burton works for here.

The only comment I will make to those who might go to that link is to please recognize that Israeli actions are presented totally out of context as always being random acts of violence and Palestinian "militants" who are targeted by Israelis are just "citizens", etc.
