Yesterday marked the 6th anniversary of the death of Rachel Corrie--a young American member of the International Solidarity Movement. Today, another ISMer, Berkeley tree-hugger, Tristan Anderson, is being treated in Tel Hashomer Hospital after sustaining life-threatening injuries while he too was in a closed military zarea protesting Israel's attempts at fighting terrorists. What would have happened if Corrie would have been taken to an Israeli hospital instead of the Arab hospital where they let her die??

Thanks for posting "the rest of the story".

So my mind was filled with wonder
When the evening headline read:
'Rachel Corrie went home last night
And got her whiny, complaining, stupid Liberal
self killed entirely at her own hand by being someplace
no sane human would want to be during a war which was
started by vicious animal-like Arab Muslims who have
spent sixty years and every drop of aid money buying
guns and blowing up Israeli pizza parlors full of
innocent children when they should have been spending
that cash in building their own businesses and
farms, DUH, but instead have been so completely
gulled by lying, corrupt leaders about how "one day
you will triumph over the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE" that they
stand in line starving to death while those leaders
salt away the Western aid money into Swiss bank accounts.'"
With thanks to Simon and Garfunkel and that old dead poet, whose name nobody remembers.
The ISM-London Bombing Connection
By Lee Kaplan and StoptheISM.com
FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, August 16, 2005
Among the less publicized details of the July 7th London bombings is the connection of one of the possible terrorists, Muhammad Sadique Khan, to the preeminent group of the pro-terrorist “solidarity” movement, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). ..."

The pancakes are great.
Two excerpts from June 2008...
"At least one tree sitter on Tuesday began throwing bags of human waste on the approaching arborists."

BERKELEY, Calif. (KCBS) -- One woman was arrested Tuesday as authorities removed some of the structures that have housed tree sitting protesters in an oak grove UC Berkeley wants to cut down to make way for a $125 million athletic facility.
The protester was taken into custody after she reportedly bit one of the workers removing her supplies, according to police. Officers cordoned off part of Piedmont Avenue near Memorial Grove and brought in arborists to remove the platforms and gear the tree sitters have used to maintain their perches since December 2006. A university official had earlier said the tree sitters themselves would not be removed yet.
“One of the things we’re most concerned about is safety and security, of our police officers and the people in the trees. That’s the reason we’re not forcibly removing people from the trees today,” said Dan Mogulof, a spokesman for UC Berkeley.
Tuesday was not the first time the university has removed scaffolding built by the protesters, but removing the people has proven more difficult. One witness told KCBS reporter Tim Ryan at the scene that some of the tree sitters threw urine they had collected in buckets at the police and arborists to discourage them from climbing.

Wouldn't have made a dime's worth of difference because she was crushed flat as a pancake by the moving dozer she was deliberately standing in front of. Sniff.

Richard Corey
WHENEVER Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
“Good-morning,” and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
Darn. DU locked its Rachel Corrie threads today - probably too much moon-battery to bear.
Actually, she got hit by the blade and suffered a head injury. She didn’t seem to be too badly injured from outward appearances. She was playing chicken with the ‘dozer driver and lost. One thing to keep in mind when you’re in a chicken race with a cement truck: you have a lot more to lose than him.
Once the Arabs had her in a position where a credulous press would blame her death on the IDF, her fate was more or less sealed. She was clearly worth a lot more to them dead than alive.
Pancakes for breakfast... Mmmmmmm!
You said — “I am going to IHOP for breakfast.”

Now you’ve done it! I’m going to have to go out to IHOP now... LOL...
COOL PICS!
