If you had even bothered to read the OP before posting your knee-jerk reaction, you'd realize they aren't even firing real rounds, they're shooting rubber bullets, a 'less than lethal' alternative.
But hey - don't let the facts get in the way.

you wanna get shot by a rubber bullet?

So you are saying that if your country calls in desperate times of need, say invasion from another country, your 5 sons won't defend your home?
Kudos to the woman who did that, kind of like the protester in Tienanmen Square, will she share the same fate as he? Never being seen ever again?
Rubber bullets are not safe for use in controlling crowds, concludes a new Israeli medical report - and some of the bullets are much worse than others.
The report catalogues a frightening list of rubber-bullet injuries of 152 people brought to hospital after Israeli Arab riots in October 2000. That includes everything from bruising to blindness and three deaths - one from a hit to the sinuses, one from a strike to the eye that caused brain damage, and a third from complications during knee surgery.
Another type of bullet used to control crowds during the riots, the MA/RA 88, caused mild to moderate injuries.
Since even these bullets caused injuries requiring a trip to the hospital, Krausz does not consider them safe. "New types of ammunition with higher accuracy and less force of impact are urgently needed for control of civil demonstrations," he says.
Rubber and plastic bullets have been controversial ever since their first use in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Police in the province switched to plastic bullets in 1975, and to a new model last June, in an attempt to find the safest ammunition. The new bullets fly straighter and are more accurate, but also cause more serious damage if they do hit the head or neck.
"They've killed 17 people, including nine schoolchildren," says Clara Reilly, of the United Campaign Against Plastic Bullets in Belfast. "Hundreds have been injured, including paralysis, brain damage, loss of both eyes - the list is endless."

Clearly that girl is as dumb as a pile of bricks. This is like the Middle Eastern version of, what's the name of the show where some homeless guys doing stupid stuff hurting themsleves for a few dollars?
What she's doing is nothing different than playing chicken with a train.
Oh well, keep doing it, stupid Palestinian girl, one day you'll get that bullet that you wanted from those soldiers.
