SHE had come to the West Bank village of Beita to bear peaceful witness and lend protection to the Palestinian community under constant attack there from illegal Israeli settlers.
As a Friday prayer ceremony ended and a skirmish broke out between Palestinian youths and the Israeli military, she and other observers retreated beyond the village to an olive grove. It was supposed to be a safe place.
