I feel sympathy for the dead, do you?

by Tomas Mendosa Tuesday, May. 20, 2003 at 3:29 AM

In this world, various people think that some dead people are better than others. The fact is that the civilian victims in the wars around the globe are all people you can say didn't deserve their fate

In the game of international chess, the civilians are the pawns used by the world elite. On some days, they are murdered for what they look like or their religion. On other days, those murders are used to justify murdering more civilians.

When it comes to death, there is no double standard. We will all die, some of us in our sleep, some of us violently and some of us will die having sex. (Such as Nelson Rockefeller)

If I was to die, I'd want the same mourning no matter what I thought about things. But, in this world, that is rare.

Example #1: Rachel Corrie. Rachel was a young peace activist only hoping for the best for the people of Palestine. But, she earned the ire of the Israeli Defense Gestapo. The Israelis desposed of her treating her like a rat, showing an utter disregard for human life.

But, of course, instead of admitting fault, they made up lies about her to make her the guilty party. They ran over her with a bulldozer, and they want her to be the villain. Just because they claim a house was used for something, or bring up an out of context photo of her doesn't mean any sensible person should believe it. You don't know if she found that paper aflame and was showing rage about it. The picture says nothing on it's own, but the IDF is putting in a caption for it. But, all in all, does it matter? Sure, if you're a heartless war-pig like a LGF-er, then you believe that Rachel Corrie should have been killed and that all peaceful people should be thrown in camps for refusing to approve your plans.

Another case of mourning is for the people killed on the buses in Palestine during the bombings. Many mourn feeling that it's just more Palestinean violence, but I mourn because I know the Israelis were behind this. They wanted a bombing to help destroy the peace process. Hamas is linked to the Israeli government, read into it. But, the sad thing is that these people died so their government could persue genocide.

From the innocents killed in Iraq by the US Army in a quest for oil, to the innocents killed in the twin towers and pentagon (in planes or in buildings) by the US government. The Innocents are the pawns of the Elite. Until they change that state, they will be used and disposed of.
