RACHEL CORRIE THE TERRORIST

Israel never ceases to amaze. I have just read the most delusional piece of Israeli fantasy ever printed, and that’s saying something! The upcoming trail regarding the murder of Rachel Corrie has the Zionist Religious Fanatic Nut jobs in a dither, they are dragging out the smear brush to demonize Rachel and her Family, whilst polishing the “Chosen Ones Halo” (or should I say Horns!) of the IDF killer who ruthlessly murdered her.

First, it’s all about the victim. No, not the real victim Rachel, but of course, poor little Israel:

The city of Haifa is still recovering from the trauma of the summer of 2006, when it, along with the rest of northern Israel, was targeted by thousands of Katyusha rockets, fired from southern Lebanon by Hizbullah terrorists.

And there’s the first piece of insanity, “still hasn’t “recovered” from 2006” Puhleeeeese………….If you want to talk about “not recovering” let’s talk about Rachel, or Tristan Anderson, or Tom Herndall, or the 1.5 million Palestian civilians under siege or 400 dead children in GAZA!

And then Israel informs us that Rachel Corrie was not a victim, but rather a “clueless” Terrorist, and her parents support terrorism and are described as the following:

“A two-person anti-Israel propaganda SWAT team”

And not only THAT, but it’s all Rachel’s fault she was killed, not the ignoramus bloodthirsty Zionist who drove the 49 TON Caterpillar killing machine right smack over her small body and murdered her. The IDF have a glowing love for their big 49 ton Ethnic Cleansing Killing machines. They even named them “Teddy Bear” and unfortunately for poor innocent Rachel, Israel ensured she received a big “Teddy Bear Hug” to remember.”

An armored IDF Caterpillar D9R bulldozer, nicknamed "דובי" (Teddy bear) in Israel.
Its armor allows it to work under heavy fire

Let’s continue on with this Israeli fantasy: Did you know that it was not an IDF cowardly scumbag who killed Rachel, according to “Israel” it was the “Palestinians “who killed her. How is that you say? Why Israel has this all figured out:

Corrie died after being taken away for care in a Palestinian medical facility, possibly from medical incompetence.

And now more insults and smears to follow:

Rachel Corrie, you may recall, was a clueless American-flag-burning undergraduate from Evergreen State College in Washington. Urged on by her radical professors, she decided to join the missions organized by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). She and her comrades were sent off to the "occupied territories" to assist Palestinian terrorist groups.

ISM openly endorses Palestinian "armed struggle" against Israel - which in realistic terms means terrorism against Jews. It was the goal of Corrie and her friends to stop Israeli anti-terror operations - an act that by its very implication would have made it easier for Hamas and its clones to murder Israeli civilians

Gee that’s funny, I just read the ISM’s page here and found only references to “unarmed resistance and peaceful means” But hey, let’s not let the facts get in the way of Israel’s fantasy story. Now they go after her parents, after insinuating that Palestinians killed Rachel because they’re doctors are stupid. Never mind that many of those hospitals are staffed with doctors from around the world who are tops in their profession. Again, this merely illustrates the inherent racism Israel has towards Palestinians, That, and they will grasp at anything to get themselves off a murder charge:

Corrie died after being taken away for care in a Palestinian medical facility, possibly from medical incompetence.

Since Corrie's death, her parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, have traveled the planet as a two-person anti-Israel propaganda SWAT team.

Not content with mourning their daughter's tragic death, which resulted from her own foolhardiness, the Corries have devoted themselves to demonizing Israel and supporting Israel's enemies.

Next yet another bit of racism pops out at you in the statement below, note that they felt it “necessary” to mention that the Corrie’s lawyer is an “Arab” gasp!! And as such, he’s automatically a “Radical Activist” this is Zio-Code meaning a terrorist supporter:

The Corries are now suing the State of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces in Israeli court. They and their Arab lawyer, Hussein Abu Hussein, a radical activist involved in the movement for a world boycott of Israel, filed a civil suit in Haifa court and the first hearing is scheduled for March 10.

And now they add all of us to the terrorist list, see below:

The Corries are also suing the Caterpillar company because it sold the bulldozer to Israel that injured (note the word “injured” is used there instead of murdered) their daughter. They are trying to get terror supporters from around the world to boycott the Caterpillar company for the crime of selling bulldozers.

Next up in the Smear job is another innocent victim killed by Israel, one British photographer Tom Herndall. It’s now his turn to be demonized:

In one well publicized case, an ISM volunteer named Tom Hurndall from the UK was injured in the head while he was serving as a human shield for terrorists engaged in a firefight with IDF troops. Hurndall's family sued Israel in Israeli court

Notice that they didn’t say he was shot by an IDF soldier, which is the truth. Or that he was actually trying to save children who the IDF were shooting at? Or that he was wearing a BRIGHT orange vest (like the one Rachel was wearing when she was murdered) which signifies he was a foreigner and not to be shot at. Nor did they bother to mention that the cowardly murdering IDF soldier was convicted, and that Israel had to pay 1 Million to Herndall’s family, all that was conveniently left out.

And they finish up with an actual letter of “Welcome“ to Rachel’s family. If you ever had any doubts over the inhumanity of Israel this will vanish them forever. Imagine your child was murdered in another country, and the country sent you this letter below:

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Corrie,

You are coming to our lovely town to sue Israel, claiming   that your daughter was "killed by an Israeli bulldozer." But you neglect to mention the circumstances under which she was so killed (nor the fact that she died from her injuries while under Palestinian medical care).

You have stated, "She had been working in Rafah with a   nonviolent resistance organization, the International Solidarity Movement, trying to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes and wells."

Homes and wells, huh?  

Well, she was not. Rachel was trying to prevent the   demolition of tunnels used to smuggle weapons for Palestinian terrorists seeking to murder Jewish civilians. ISM openly endorses Palestinian "armed struggle" against Jewish children and civilians and openly collaborates with terrorists. It has hidden wanted terrorists and their weapons in its offices. It is an accomplice in murder. Lying is not the best way to drum up sympathy for your daughter.

You say your daughter died trying to protect an "innocent   house." Again, this is not the truth. That "innocent house" was camouflage for a not-so-innocent terrorist smuggling tunnel, and the residents of that innocent house knew all about the tunnel.
Your daughter was in a war zone as a belligerent, on behalf   of a movement of Arab fascists seeking to destroy Israel and murder as many Jews as possible. Your daughter died while interfering with an anti-terror operation carried out by soldiers in a land in which she had no business being at all.

You demand that we feel your pain at the loss of your   daughter, yet your daughter conscripted herself as an accomplice for those seeking to murder my children. You feel no pain for the scores of martyrs in my own city of Haifa murdered by those same terrorists.

Your daughter put herself in harm's way by challenging a   large bulldozer and positioning herself where the operator could not see her. You know quite well that the bulldozer operator was not seeking to harm her.

You have written, "We had not understood the devastating   nature of the Palestinians' situation." Of course, you have never expressed any interest in the devastating nature of the Jews' situation. The Jews have been battling Arab fascism and genocidal terrorism for a hundred years, before, during, and after the Nazi Holocaust of six million Jews. Your daughter was helping those who perpetrate Nazi-like atrocities against randomly selected Jews.

You smugly praise the propaganda play about your daughter,   which ignored all the other Rachels - the Jewish victims of terror in Israel who were murdered by genocidal terrorists.

Your daughter, and apparently you as well, never had any   understanding of the Middle East conflict. The Middle East conflict is not about the right to self-determination of Palestinian Arabs, but rather about the right to self-determination of Israeli Jews.

For a century the Arabs have attempted to block any   expression of Jewish self-determination, using violence, armed aggression, and terrorism. The Arabs today control 22 countries and territory nearly twice the size of the United States. They refuse to share even a fraction of one percent of the Middle East with Jews, even in a territory smaller than New Jersey.

The Arab countries invented the Palestinian people and their   "plight" as a propaganda ploy in imitation of the German campaign on behalf of Sudeten self-determination in the 1930s. Just as the struggle for "Sudeten liberation" was nothing more than a fig leaf for the German aggression aimed at annihilating Czechoslovakia, so the struggle for "Palestinian liberation" is nothing more than cover for a jihad to destroy Israel and its population.

Your write, "Clearly, our daughter has become a positive   symbol for people."
I am afraid you are mistaken. Your daughter has become a   symbol for dangerous foolhardiness. She essentially committed suicide as an empty gesture to assist murderers and terrorists.

You want the world to mourn for your daughter, who died while   working with monsters out to murder our children. On the pages of anti-Semitic propaganda web magazines you denounce Israel, but you do not have a single word of sympathy for the families of the thousands of innocent Israeli victims of the terrorists with whom your daughter chose to ally herself.

On behalf of the citizens of Haifa, all of whom your   daughter's Hamas friends are trying to murder,

I remain,
Steven Plaut

Now, here is the TRUTH:

HOME

The idea of one’s “home” represents many things. Home can mean the country where you live, a place where you began and flourished. A place that belongs to you and you alone, a place where you are born into, or grew up in. A place where you feel comfort and safety from the world outside. A place where you can be yourself, a place where you can loose yourself in thought and quietness. A place with safe sturdy walls, and window to look out of. A place to seek refuge, a place to stay warm, a place to be proud of, a place to raise a family. A place that reflects who and what you are.

So, given that a home can be all of these important things on an emotional and security level. How would you feel if all of these things were stolen from you in a mere few seconds? Or what about generations of homelessness, of refugees, of having no belonging, no safety, no security, no sturdy walls, no windows, no doors, no warmth, no place to flourish……

Meet the people of Gaza who were made homeless by Israel:

CHRISTIANS & MUSLIMS UNITED IN DEATH

One of our favourite blogs, PoliticalTheatrics recently made a post about the murdered in Gaza. PT has a screenshot and link to a comprehensive list of those murdered by Israel which is available to download online. We will include this link below, but we also want to take this one step further by telling a small story about the murdered children in Gaza First this:

Political Theatrics : We have seen the bodies and heard the screams but now we get to stare at the names of these innocent men,women and children.Spread this far and wide; Let the world know of these people and that we shall never forget them.

You can download the full document here and read all the names. Now we want to tell a wee story here, pull up a chair. Last January during the Gaza Genocide, people in Ireland were outraged. We have always felt a close tie to the Palestinians, and also the Lebanese, Syrians and even the Iranians (think US Dictator Shah of Iran)

So, as some of you will know, there are pivotal moments within the struggles oppressed people face. These moments are not always the ones where the most people die, nor are they always the most horrendous. But they are the ones that cause even the most non-political, non-violent, non-believer into taking action. They are the moments when massive amounts of hitherto non-involved people see the writing on the wall and decide “no more.” For people in the North of Ireland this was Bloody Sunday when the British paratroopers murdered civilians on a march through Creggan in the Bogside of Derry. After that, people from all walks of life qued up to join the IRA. And thus began the long war against Britain. How does this tie in to murdered children in Gaza? Keep reading;o)

I tell you this because Bloody Sunday is remembered every year in Derry where a huge march is held on the same route of the original march. Only last year it all changed for the very first time in history. The families of the victims decided bravely to dedicate the march to the victims in Palestine. You can see a video of the march here. In the video it is important to note Holding the Sinn Fein Solidarity Banner are Raymond McCartney MLA Sinn Fein jailed for 17 years by the British and also a former Hunger striker at the Maze prison, Martina Anderson MLA Sinn Fein Foyle who spent 13 ½ years in a British Jail, Gerry McMonagle Clr Sinn Fein, Gerry MacLochlainn clr Derry Sinn Fein who spent 3 years in a British Jail. Gerry Adams MP MLA President Sinn Fein interned and jailed numerous times, and Martin McGuinness, Deputy First Minister, Sinn Fein, again jailed numerous times by the British. Sounds like Palestine.

I traveled to the march last year to witness this historic event for Palestine, and what I remember most is not so much the sea of Palestinian flags being carried by tiny Irish children up to old age pensioners,nor the Palestinian flags waving in the wind as the Irish National Anthem played, truly a stunning event. But what I most remember was the wall at William Street where the march ended.

Upon arrival at the wall, it was covered with white A4 sized papers, each one had the name of a child murdered by Israel in Gaza. Some had photographs of these beautiful children alive in happier times, obviously taken by professional photographers for display in their homes by the proud parents. Not unlike what we all do in our own homes, never thinking for one moment the photo may one day come to symbolize the death of that child on a wall in a far away place such as Ireland. Even today writing this post, it is hard to remember the emotion of that day.

I stood staring at the names on the wall, although this is not a complete list of all the dead children as information at the time was hard to come by. I couldn't help but notice that the childrens names were plastered surrounding a memorial plaque to one of our IRA volunteers; John Starrs, Aged 19 from Derry, killed on duty fighting the British occupation force. It struck me that in death, a Catholic Irish freedom fighter would one day be united, in death, on a wall, with a muslim child from Palestine, both of whom died without having freedom, justice and equality. I was choked with emotion. And little did I know that months later when two friends joined the "Hope" convoy to Gaza, they would meet a woman on the convoy who saw my photos of that wall in Derry with the names of the murdered children online, and by seeing them realised her family members were killed. Oh God, how awful that we must be linked in such a way, all of Ireland's dead all of Palestine's dead. I wondered if the day will ever come when the major events of our years will not always be focused on our dead, for both our countries.

As the main speakers of the event began their speeches, I remained at the wall determined to read every single name and age before leaving. I owed them that. And the world owes them that too. So I offer you the chance to meet them (click to enlarge photos):
















WE WILL REMEMBER THEM ALL

"Witness Our Fear~Oh The Horror" (On Que)

Ivan Lewis, the British Foreign Minister is visiting Israel and Palestine. He wants to see the separation wall and the home evictions in East Jerusalem first hand.

Of course, as expected, Israel will be taking him to Sderot in order to parade out the old rusty home made rockets they have treasured and saved for this purpose. In addition a few (Alive and Well) families will be brought forward in order to wail in misery as they view the old rusty rockets. (In sharp contrast to the 1400 DEAD mostly civilians including 400 DEAD children in Gaza) But I digress... The visit to Sderot is to remind Lewis that "Israel is always the victim" Something tells me they are going to have a hard sell, what with Lewis witnessing first hand the contrast of those home made rockets in the pristine Israeli neighbourhoods (on former Palestinian land) to the total genocidal destruction in Palestine. No comparison.

More "irony" on those rockets after this:

British Foreign Office Minister for the Middle East Ivan Lewis began a four-day visit to Palestine and Israel on Monday, which will include a tour of the Israeli separation wall in the West Bank city of Qalqiliya.

Lewis will also visit areas of East Jerusalem where Israel has recently demolished houses and evicted Palestinians from their homes.I believe that it is imperative to come out and see the situation on the ground first-hand,” Lewis said at the start of his visit.

The minister will also visit the southern Israeli town of Sderot to see the effect of projectiles formerly fired from Gaza. (Que the performance of a lifetime)

“The UK has long made our opposition to settlements clear,” he said, “and we press the Israel government at the highest level continually on the importance of fulfilling its roadmap commitments: Israel should freeze all settlement activity, including the natural growth" source

Now about those rockets. I came across this little piece (below) of evidence that supports what I said earlier. Those small homemade old rusty rockets are pure gold to Israel, an actual "thing" they can hold up to the world as their excuse for an attempt at annihilating an entire population who are locked in a fishbowl with no escape. Using white phosphorous and DIME missiles. Well, that argument falls a wee bit short as is noted in the below snippet from an Israeli blog. You see those rockets are sought after "garden ornaments"

There is something slightly creepy about using Qassam rockets as garden art.

Turning a murderous instrument with your name on it into a community showpiece is a way of taking ownership of it, laughing at it even. Your rockets don’t scare us. They’re just garden art now. We’re still here. And you keep missing the target.

(Smell the fear........)MORE:

Zvika did seem to think the rocket parts were a little bit funny. He held them up for my camera with the same good cheer as a fisherman who just caught a seven pound bass.

Check out the nice photos HERE and get a load of how tiny they are, great garden art though! And here's more visual eye candy for you,compare this to Gaza. Note: all photos are of real quassam rockets in Israel, the text is added by yours truly:

Israelis fight over ownership of new garden ornament:

4th of July celebration gets out of hand in Israel:

Now where did that rocket go, it was here just a minute ago, darn tiny things are so hard to find:

IDF stand guard in effort to thwart any "toe stubbing" of the public:

And this:
Only Israel could imagine they could counter the images the world has seen in Gaza with those tiny old rusty garden ornaments. So yeah, I'll bet Lewis will see the performance of a lifetime, one deserving of an Oscar.

IDF "Child Killing Unit" Speaks Out

Today another former member of the IDF's "Child Killing Unit" speaks out. And again, we see that Israel has a long standing policy of killing children, torturing children, jailing children, and, get this, using "Military Tribunals" to try children aged 16. Witness the sickness of these people:

"You take the kid, you blindfold him, you handcuff him, he's really shaking... Sometimes you cuff his legs too. Sometimes it cuts off the circulation. “

"He doesn't understand a word of what's going on around him. He doesn't know what you're going to do with him. He just knows we are soldiers with guns. That we kill people. Maybe they think we're going to kill him. “

"A lot of the time they're peeing their pants, just sit there peeing their pants, crying. But usually they're very quiet.''

LIKE THIS:

from the BBC: A former Israeli military commander has told the BBC that Palestinian youngsters are routinely ill-treated by Israeli soldiers while in custody, reports the BBC' s Katya Adler from Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Eran Efrati is a former commander in Israel's army. He served in the occupied West Bank. In a discreet park in Jerusalem we meet to discuss allegations that soldiers like him often mistreat Palestinian minors, suspected of throwing stones.

Mr Efrati - who left the army five months ago - says the allegations are true:

''I never arrested anyone younger than nine or 10, but 14, 13, 11 for me, they're still kids. But they're arrested like adults.

"Every soldier who was in the Occupied Territories can tell you the same story. The first months after I left the army I dreamed about kids all the time. Jewish kids. Arab kids. Screaming.

''Maybe [the kid is] blindfolded for him not to see the base and how we're working... But I believe maybe we put the blindfold because we don't want to see his eyes. You don't want him to look at us - you know, beg us to stop, or cry in front of us. It's a lot easier if we don't see his eyes.

''When the kid is sitting there in the base, I didn't do it, but nobody is thinking of him as a kid, you know - if there is someone blindfolded and handcuffed, he's probably done something really bad. It's OK to slap him, it's OK to spit on him, it's OK to kick him sometimes. It doesn't really matter.''

Young Palestinians are mostly arrested for throwing stones at Jewish settlers or Israeli soldiers.

Night-time arrests
At a recent protest, I watched a gang of Palestinian boys darting amongst the olive trees, picking up stones and rocks to throw at the soldiers. Some used sling-shots. Many had a scarf or shawl wrapped round their face to hide their identity. The soldiers responded with tear gas and sound grenades. Sometimes they have used rubber-coated bullets too.

Often after an incident like this, Israeli soldiers raid a West Bank village. Usually in the middle of the night.

LIKE THIS:

The arrests can be brutal. ''Their faces were painted when they came for him. It was frightening. All those soldiers for one boy. They put iron weights on his back in the jeep and beat him all the way to jail. He couldn't get up for a week.''

Mohammad Ballasi's 15-year-old son, also called Mohammad, was arrested by Israeli soldiers for stone-throwing. We met him and his wife just outside an Israeli military base in the West Bank. Palestinian youngsters are tried in military tribunals.

The tribunals regard minors as Palestinians aged 16 or under. In Israel's civil courts minors are young people under the age of 18.

(IMPORTANT NOTE HERE: This is quite stunning, because in actuality, the IDF have a policy of allowing and encouraging, the killing of children aged 12. So what we see, is Israel has a policy of killing 12 year olds, trying children aged 16 and lower in “Military Tribunals” no less!! Yet, for Israeli “children” Israel decides to use the worldwide legal age of 18 for their own. So, in effect Israel has three policies when it comes to Palestinian children. All of them Illegal)

The first time Mohammad's parents saw him since he was arrested two weeks before was at his trial. He pleaded guilty. ''When you're beaten like that, you would confess against your own mother," said Suad Ballasi, choking back tears.

''He's a child. His friends are playing in the street and he is in handcuffs. I couldn't stop crying in court. My heart feels like it's going to explode.'' The human rights organisation Defence for Children International (DCI) has written a report accusing Israel's military of what it describes as the systematic and institutionalised ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children by the Israeli authorities.

Gerard Horton is an international lawyer for DCI. He said Mohammad's Ballasi's story is a familiar one. ''We see these stories again and again. Israel is a signatory to the UN convention against torture. It's also a signatory to the UN convention on the rights of the child - and under customary international law, it's not permissible to mistreat and torture, particularly children, who are obviously more vulnerable than adults."

He told me that Israel arrested 9,000 Palestinians last year. Seven hundred of those were children. Mr Horton says the military tribunals need to process cases quickly. DCI believes the system is designed so that it is in an adult or a child's interest to plead guilty. Gerard Horton says Palestinians tend to end up in jail longer if they try to fight their case.

Mohammad Khawaja had just turned 13 when he was arrested.

''They dragged me from my home by the scruff of the neck. The more I cried the more they choked me," he said.

"My mum was screaming. They pulled me along on my stomach. My knees were bleeding. They beat me with their guns and kicked me all the way to the jeep.
"They cuffed my hands and legs, blind-folded me and left me there for 24 hours. I thought I was going to die.

"Later interrogators wanted me to tell on other people. I wouldn't. They beat me with plastic chairs. They told me to sign a paper written in Hebrew. I don't read or speak it. Because I signed it they put me in jail.''

Israel's military denies any suggestion that the abuse of young Palestinians is routine, but the army says it has to guard against Palestinian children involved in what it describes as "acts of terror".

(e.g. Throwing stones)

Nightmares
Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibowitz is a spokeswoman for Israel's military.
''Even though it's just a stone or just a Molotov cocktail, they're deadly weapons. Doesn't matter who did it - they're deadly weapons," she said.

(So the next time your neighbour’s child throws a stone you have the right to kill him. Let’s see how well that defence works in an American court or anywhere else in the sane world)Please take the time to read about Israels policy on killing children HERE and jailing children HERE, and civilians HERE you WILL be Shocked!

Israel Targets More Children

Much sadness in Israel today as they discover the live ordinances they left in Gaza in the hopes of killing more Palestinian children, has in fact, not killed them. Instead, thanks to Israel, one child, a ten year old is in a specialised eye hospital. Most likely another innocent person blinded by Israeli evilness.

Two Palestinian children were injured on Tuesday evening when ordinance left behind by the Israeli army exploded in Al-Bureij Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Palestinian medical sources identified the victims as ten-year-old Khamis Abu Arab and his brother, eight-year-old Muhammad. Khamis, according to the sources, was hospitalized at a specialist eye hospital while Muhammad received treatment for light wounds and was released. source
