Op-Ed: Honor Rachel Corrie: Serve as Human Shields - in Syria
Arutz Sheva ^ | 29/8/12 | Ron Torrosian

Posted on 08/29/2012 4:46:14 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

It should be said loudly, and clearly:

Rachel Corrie broke the law, and her fate was expected and inevitable. While her parents are grieving and a parent's pain is understandable, their reaction is biased and evidence of a despicable double-standard against Israel.

It’s quite amazing - just as there’s no “peace flotilla” to Syria, there are also no Rachel Corrie’s protecting the poor tortured innocent children today in Syria.

Imagine if in the midst of the war in Iraq, a foreigner entered a closed military zone and disregarded the orders of the military who was carrying out necessary maneuvers. Would anyone have been shocked if that foreigner would have been killed?

Anyone who doubts me should take a boat full of people to Guantanamo Bay, or Rikers Island in New York City. Keep going when the military tells you to stop – let me know how it goes. If you survive, that is. Would any US court even hear a case of someone killed after entering a closed military zone?

The case of Rachel Corrie is very clear

.....

Corrie’s father, Craig has been carrying - all over Israel - pictures of the Palestinian girl, then 6, whose family’s house was ostensibly behind Ms. Corrie - a disputed fact to begin with - when she was killed. The man should continue his daughter’s legacy - and go to Syria to protect 6-year old children’s homes there now.

Lots of hatred & rage & lack of civility in Rachel Corrie’s hate-filled contorted face. Even the muzzie kids are laughing in the background. Another leftie/marxist/pro-muzzie/pro-abortion/America-hater/radical feminazi, Rachel Corrie. Sounds like she’s a chip off the old block with her equally dingbat marxist parents!

Looks like the usual rapist gave up in mid-violation, and she’s really PO’d.

We can discuss it at the Annual Rachel Corrie Pancake Breakfast.

IHOP should advertise it. I might go.

Saw a photo of the murder weapon bulldozer.

The operator was completely enclosed in a cage of steel and bullet proof glass.

I’m amazed he could see anything, let alone a young woman lying on the ground.

Shield? Sounds like she’s more of a throw rug actually.

Ok, that was just LOL.

They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a banker’s only child,
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I’m living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he’s got.

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I’m living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
“Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head.”

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I’m living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.

Re: Link

Commentary Magazine sends out a daily email briefing.

From two days ago, I believe, but I deleted it after I finished reading.

I looked for a link on Commentary’s website, but don’t see it after a quick scan.

They say that Rachel Corie had a perpetual frown,
With political connections to keep herself around.
Born into society, a crimson diaper child,
She had everything a man could want: bombast, face, and style.

But I make bombs in a factory
And I curse the life I’m living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Rachel Corie.

The papers print her picture almost everywhere; she shows:
Rachel Corie at the IHOP, Richard Cory at a show.
And the rumor of the parties and the orgies where she’s not!
Oh, she surely can’t be happy lost in Ghaza and forgot.

But I make bombs in a factory
And I curse the life I’m living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Rachel Corie.

She freely gave to charity, she had the common touch,
And they were grateful for her patronage and thanked her very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
“Rachel Corie sat down today and got flattened and is dead.”

But I make bombs in a factory
And I curse the life I’m living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Rachel Corie.

Next.

Rachel Corrie was a propaganda tool for Islamic Jihad.
No more. No less.
