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.

Did you say valid data?","article":"i got yer valid data.\r\n\r\nFirst point:\r\nFrom http:\/\/www.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rachel_Corrie:\r\n\r\nOn 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. \r\n\r\nFrom http:\/\/seattlepi.nwsource.com\/local\/113302_shield20.shtml\r\n\r\nGovernment officials also say that the bulldozer was trying to uncover tunnels from neighboring Egypt through which weapons, explosives and people were smuggled.\r\n\r\n&quot;The bulldozer was there as part of an effort to prevent terror-related activities,&quot; 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.\r\n\r\nPoint the Second:\r\n\r\nAlso from http:\/\/seattlepi.nwsource.com\/local\/113302_shield20.shtml\r\n\r\nThe government asserts that Barclay developed ties with Palestinian terrorist groups while she was there, and had gathered information on one particular army officer.\r\n\r\nIn 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.\r\n\r\nPoint the Third:\r\n\r\nAgain, from http:\/\/seattlepi.nwsource.com\/local\/113302_shield20.shtml\r\n\r\n The group believes that the Israeli military is less likely to attack Palestinians who are surrounded by Westerners.\r\n\r\nThe last point in incredibly obvious, wouldn't you think?\r\n\r\nThere...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.\r\n\r\nBut by all means, continue your cannonization of Saint Corrie.  Continue exploiting her death so coldly and callously.  \r\n\r\nSuch kind, loving people indeed.","author":"nonanarchist","parent_id":86778,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-06 21:25:03","modified":"2003-10-06 21:25:03","fileurl":""},{"id":87051,"heading":"Worthless","article":"Your documentation consists of nothing more than unsupported assertions made by PR Flacks in the employ of the Israeli Government and their loyal sycophants.\r\n\r\nAll that is presented is claims that what this was about is tunnels.\r\n\r\nWhat Tunnels?
