On the 8th Anniversary of Rachel Corrie's Stand in Gaza,A Message from Craig and Cindy Corrie:

Salem News.com ^ | March 16 | Craig and Cindy Corrie

[Michael.SF.]

On Wednesday, March 16th, we mark the eighth anniversary of our daughter Rachel's stand in Rafah, Gaza, to protect the right of a Gazan family to be safe and secure in their home and the rights of all Palestinians to self-determination, freedom, equality, and security in the same measure as their Israeli neighbors.

Here in Olympia, Washington – our hometown and Rachel's – our family, the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, and our community will mark this anniversary with an event that emphasizes three components:

community-building, education, and action. Strengthening community connections was important to Rachel when she lived and worked here in Olympia, but, also, beyond, as she embraced the world as her community.

As we pursue a more just global community, we must arm ourselves with solid information and knowledge. Rachel believed this profoundly and emphasized in her writing from Gaza the importance of seeking and communicating the facts and doing so without exaggeration. And it is not enough for us to think and talk. We must, also, act. Indeed, it is because of Rachel's action on March 16, 2003, that we pause to mark this day.

[Michael.SF.]

Yesterday was the the Anniversary of the death by tractor of Rachel Corrie.

Since RC threads are always such fun, I thought it appropriate that we recognize this day as only we Freepers can.

[BobL]

I think you’ll get some good comments and fun pictures.

[American Quilter]

You forgot the barf alert.

[jagusafr]

“Notice us! Notice us!”

Pathetic.

[SIDENET]

I think I'm in the mood for PANCAKES today.

I'll go to IHOP, and if there's a line, I'll BULLDOZE my way to the front.

[Rummyfan]

That reminds me..... need to go to IHOP for breakfast this morning!

[ml/nj]

IHOP should have some sort of special promotion, I should think.

[katana]

Well, at least a coffin wasn’t necessary. The big manila envelope worked just fine.

[pnh102]

Perfect timing. We can eat pancakes on the 16th and drink to that on the 17th.

[tet68]

With loons like these for parents no wonder she turned
out so thin.

[Stosh]

Let me know what kind of response the Corrie’s “message of peace” gets from the people who butchered the Fogel family.

[ejonesie22]

For some reason their message left me a bit flat..

[pgkdan]

Who shives a git?

[VA_Gentleman]

Considering the tragedy in Japan, their message falls a little flat on me.

[tet68]

Does Palestinian Castle doctrine mean they get to
attack you in your own home?

[antiRepublicrat]

As we pursue a more just global community, we must arm ourselves with solid information and knowledge

They spew a bunch of lies and misinformation up front, then they say this?

[Michael.SF.]

You forgot the barf alert

None needed. Rachel pretty much defines a "Barf alert" don't you think?

[American Quilter]

None needed. Rachel pretty much defines a "Barf alert" don't you think?

Okay, I can buy that!

Well actually, it was more of a fall...in front of a D9 Cat.

[SumProVita]

“Let me know what kind of response the Corrie’s “message of peace” gets from the people who butchered the Fogel family.”

Exactly....

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Wow, one would think they would mention the Fogel family, this truly was a massacre.

A Message from Craig and Cindy Corrie: “Pancakes are goo-ood!”

[Interesting Times]

Mom and Dad are certainly proud of having produced a glorious martyr for the revolution.

[pabianice]

[Little Ray]

Darn. I should have stopped by IHOP for a Rachel Corrie Special.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

This week, IHOP is running a special to draw attention to the plight of the downtrodden. All the waitresses are battered women.

[MinuteGal]

You can always tell good commies by their prolific use of the "com...." words.

In the first couple paragraphs of this letter, the Corrie's don't waste any time in employing favorite lefty dot.com buzz words...."community building", "community connection", "her community", "our community", "a more just global community".....

How did they manage to omit "communism", "communal", "commutard", "comrade", "commune"....and that grandest and most sacred of all marxist dot.coms....."community organizer"?

[Michael.SF.]

This is how they gloss over that:

reports that the number of weekly civilian injuries in Gaza was recently higher than it has been for any week since May 2010. The number includes injuries to five children.

[VRWCmember]

I wonder if Caterpillar has a Rachel Corrie Day Sale each year.

[Cuttnhorse]

LOL...I can not resist an RC thread.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Very interesting. When this incident occurred I thought her last name was spelled Khoury, which is of Middle-Eastern origin. Has it been re-written for marketing purposes?

[Carl LaFong]

You can never be too rich or too thin.

USEFUL IDIOTS...CORRIE-STYLE...

[dirtboy]

Maybe Cat can adapt a pancake as their standard hood ornament.

[Moose4]

March 17 - St. Patrick’s Day.

March 16 - St. Pancake’s Day.

If you plan it out right, you can hit IHOP late on the night of the 16th for pancakes and then go to your favorite bar after midnight (thus making it the 17th) for green beer!

[montag813]

Let's remember instead the talented and beautiful Shiri Negari, murdered by the very savages Rachel Corrie went to defend.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Jew haters in the news again?

[N. Theknow]

Rachel believed this profoundly and emphasized in her writing from Gaza the importance of seeking and communicating the facts and doing so without exaggeration.

Alas!

Poor Rachel's message lacked....um....depth.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Which would be the best “pancake” motif?

Since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, would it be the “boxty”, or Irish pancake?

Or the “latke”, Jewish pancake? “Ataif”, Arab pancake?

Or am I just waffling?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I heard it said that if she was taken to an Israeli hospital she might still be alive. Her chances for survival at the Palestinian hospital were about the same as going to the clinic on the show “24”.

[N. Theknow]

kitteh iz very possessiev.

[Old Grumpy]

“I think you’ll get some good comments and fun pictures.”

OK, I’ll admit it: the reason I opened up this thread is to see what pictures will show up. ;^D

[Maverick68]

Whole family of evil traitors....F’ em’...

[dirtboy]

Here in Olympia, Washington – our hometown and Rachel's – our family, the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, and our community will mark this anniversary with an event that emphasizes three components: the typical lame-assed liberal stupidity of the sort that got her killed in the first place.

[VeniVidiVici]

I love the look on the kids' faces while Corrie is community organizing.

"Man, that bitch is seriously crazy!!"

[BobL]

“OK, I’ll admit it: the reason I opened up this thread is to see what pictures will show up. ;^D”

Of course...it is starting to pick up some steam now.

[IronJack]

Rachel Corrie wasn’t killed by a bulldozer. She was crushed by the weight of her own self-loathing. And her indulgent parents now have to translate that into something noble and altrusitic in a vain attempt to redeem their daughter’s legacy and rescue their own stature as her mentors.

[MasterGunner01]

Let's see: Rachel Corrie vs. Israeli armored bulldozer.

Israeli bulldozer — 1

Rachel Corrie — 0

Note to Mr. and Mrs. Corrie. Your daughter is dead because she was stupid. She placed herself out of sight and in front of the bulldozer operator. Please replicate your daughter's stupidity for the Palestinian cause like good Dhimmis.

Allah thanks you.
