Please Remember Rachel

by Wendy Sunday, Oct. 05, 2003 at 5:25 AM

A cautionary tale.

A displaced and misguided US college student was fortunately stopped from doing further damage to an IDF bulldozer when she was pushed aside by the vehicle as she attempted stop it from an operation against anti-Jewish terrorists. As the gallant troops were destroying the lodgings of some of the horde of subhuman "palestinian" terrorists such as Hamas, Rachel Corrie attacked the bulldozer and vandalized the blade of the vehicle. No report has been recieved as to the amount of damage done to the machinery but the hope is that it will be repairable. A spokesperson for the newly created "palestinian" people was quoted as saying that they "believed that tricking americans into throwing themselves in front of the jews' tanks seemed like it shoulda been a slam dunk. I guess we'll try a black next time."

Update

Great news!

As far as we can tell, they've finally been able to find a match for the bulldozer's paint and hope to have it back to showroom shape within the week.

Yes it does

by Outrage Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 7:54 AM

Outrage at the horror of the realities of current American Foreign Policy is an appropriate response - from someone with a conscience.

As for the Disinformation that began this Thread.

by Truth Will Out Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 9:24 AM

The house which Rachel Corrie was brutally murdered belonged to a Palestinian Doctor (MD) who worked at a local hospital.

No Ties between him and any Terrorist Group have ever been asserted or established.

The house was slated for destruction solely because it obscured the line of fire of Snipers on the Israeli Berlin Wall.

Rache Corrie died in defense of common decency. Something which the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces a.k.a. SS) would appear to know nothing of.

Someone with a conscience...

by nonanarchist Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 10:21 AM

...would not have been standing in the way of the destruction of a home hiding a tunnel used for smuggling arms and explosives intended to kill innocents.

Someone with a conscience would not have joined a group whose stated goal is peace, but whose actions support the continued violence.

Someone with a conscience would not have callously believed her Westernness would make her more valuable than those she was ostensibly protecting.

Someone with sense would not have gotten on front of a bulldozer.

Document your spurious assertions.

by Deaf Leopard Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 12:09 PM

Of course you cannot because what you evacuated onto the the table cannot be supported by any valid data.

Did you wipe after posting that?

Valid data? Did you say valid data?

by nonanarchist Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 2:25 PM

i got yer valid data.

First point:
From http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Corrie:

On March 16, 2003, Corrie was one of a group of seven ISM activists (made of three British and four Americans) who were attempting to disrupt IDF demolition operations where armored bulldozers are used to level buildings and vegetation. According to the IDF, these specific operations were part of a larger project to prevent smuggling between Egypt and the Gaza Strip by constructing a wall and clearing tunnels.

From http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/113302_shield20.shtml

Government officials also say that the bulldozer was trying to uncover tunnels from neighboring Egypt through which weapons, explosives and people were smuggled.

"The bulldozer was there as part of an effort to prevent terror-related activities," said Amir Segev-Sayag, a media officer for the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco. In this case, the bulldozer was attempting to clear away shrubbery to expose these tunnels, he said, and not trying to raze a home.

Point the Second:

Also from http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/113302_shield20.shtml

The government asserts that Barclay developed ties with Palestinian terrorist groups while she was there, and had gathered information on one particular army officer.

In fact, Barclay said in an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, she knowingly worked with representatives from Hamas and Islamic Jihad -- terrorist groups that sponsor suicide bombings and exist, according to their charters, to demolish the Jewish state entirely.

Point the Third:

Again, from http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/113302_shield20.shtml

The group believes that the Israeli military is less likely to attack Palestinians who are surrounded by Westerners.

The last point in incredibly obvious, wouldn't you think?

There...all assertions fully documented. If they do not agree with your particular perversion of reality, that's your problem. I'm not responsible for that.

But by all means, continue your cannonization of Saint Corrie. Continue exploiting her death so coldly and callously.

Such kind, loving people indeed.

Worthless

by Non-PR Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 2:35 PM

Your documentation consists of nothing more than unsupported assertions made by PR Flacks in the employ of the Israeli Government and their loyal sycophants.

All that is presented is claims that what this was about is tunnels.

What Tunnels? Coming from the physicians house? Let me see the photos not the unsupported claims of PR people trying to spin away a horrific murder.

In that case...

by nonanarchist Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 2:41 PM

...let's see YOUR proof, Skippy.

All you'll post is unsupported assertions made by PR Flacks in the employ of the Palestinian Authority and their loyal sycophants.

Everyone claiming Corrie was "murdered" has a vested interest in portraying it that way.

They don't care what the truth is, as long as they can villify Israel.

Like I said...continue to exploit her death to make your political points.

I guess that settles that

by No Proof Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 2:46 PM

Nonanurcust cannot produce any proof to support his claims.

Therefore the attempt to counter by diverting into another line to avoid admitting he cannot back up his claims.

I guess you win, then.

by nonanarchist Monday, Oct. 06, 2003 at 2:52 PM

The IDF spent a half-million dollars on a big honkin' bulldozer just to run over one skinny white girl.

I provided proof, Skippy.

Not my fault that you can't (or won't) recognize it.

Like I said: let's see YOUR proof.

You asserted that Corrie was murdered by the IDF.

Back it up.
