Another Squashed Thread - DU Adbot Disses Pancake Princess

This is just a standard thread mourning the flattening of wacko Rachel, but then Adbot makes it special:

Rachel Corrie's memory, Israel's image (Neve Gordon)
 Seven years ago today, Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by a Caterpillar D9R Israeli bulldozer while nonviolently protesting the demolition of Palestinian homes in Rafah, Gaza Strip, along with other members of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Now her parents, sister and brother are suing the State of Israel and the defense minister, claiming wrongful death.

The suit's objective, according to Rachel's mother, Cindy, "is to illustrate the need for accountability for thousands of lives lost, or indelibly injured, by occupation.... We hope the trial will bring attention to the assault on nonviolent human rights activists (Palestinian, Israeli and international) and we hope it will underscore the fact that so many Palestinian families, harmed as deeply as ours or more, cannot access Israeli courts."

The State's attorneys have decided to use any and all ammunition to undermine Corrie's suit. They claim that there is no evidence that Rachel's parents and siblings are indeed her rightful inheritors; they argue that she "helped attack Israeli soldiers," "took part in belligerent activities" and accompanied armed men who attacked Israeli soldiers. In defense of the soldiers, the lawyers even write that the state "denies the deceased's pain and suffering, the loss of pleasures and the loss of longevity."

The Israeli state attorneys demonstrate yet again that when winning is everything, shame becomes superfluous.

As Corrie's civil suit is being heard in a Haifa court, Simone Bitton's movie Rachel is being shown at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque. Rendering, as it were, the trial public, Bitton's subtle and nuanced movie also presents two narratives, one offered by the state of Israel and the other by the ISM activists and the Palestinian eyewitnesses who were with Rachel on that tragic day.

In a self-reflective moment, the film reveals that about an hour after Rachel was crushed to death, Salim Najar, a Palestinian street cleaner, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Rafah. The incident is important because it emphasizes that Palestinian blood is cheap--no media outlet bothered to cover the killing, and, as Bitton herself notes, no one will likely be making a movie about Najar. This incident also helps underscore that Rachel has become an iconic "Palestinian" of sorts as well as a symbol of the struggle for social justice. She dedicated the last part of her short life to the Palestinian cause, and, after she was killed, the memory of her human rights work in Rafah has helped internationalize the struggle. Rachel's memory has thus itself become a site where several struggles continue to be played out.

The Israeli government has always recognized the importance of the fight over narrative; it is particularly sensitive to stories--like Rachel Corrie's death--that take on global proportions and therefore influence Israel's international image.

That's too funny.

DUmmy's don't know what they're missing by donating to Der Skimmer. They have to come over here to see the irony.

Isn't this the cutest piece of anti-semetic propaganda. They want to emphasize she was protesting "nonviolently" but the home to be bulldozed was that of a suicide bomber who was using violence against non-violent civilians.

Funny how the Jew-haters never mention that.

I wonder how long that one would last as a mole's avatar on the DUmp? It might be small enough to slip by for a while.

DUmmies lie, all the time. That was an all-American, red, white, and blue, made with pride in the USA, 53-ton Caterpillar D9 that squished Rachel. It just happened to have been sold to Israel. Anywhere in the world that moonbats need squashing, Cat has an American-made machine suited to the task.

This thread reminds me of years ago at CU.  I'd get semi-frustrated when all the DUmmies kept saying..."If you support the war, you should enlist."  Freeper had a great line..."hey DUmmies, if you are so against this war, then go be human shields like Rachel Corrie."

I'm pretty sure that was a D8R CAT that did the job....still overkill.

Really. A Bobcat would have worked for a anorexic moonbat. The DUmmy's would have been happy because it would have used less gas.

There is this very large part of the world which is not actually part of the US and so is not subject to its laws or norms of protecting idiots from the consequences of their actions, which I call Not America.

If you go to Not America and carry on like you are at a Berzerkely 'Direct action' protest or a San Fran Freako 'Gay Pride' parade, what follows is not going to be like what would happen IN America, not by a long shot, and any sympathy for idiots who think otherwise is entirely misplaced.

Here, here! It always amazes me when these moonbats got to a foreign country and expect the same rights they have here. They flaunt them in front of people who have no idea what it is like to live as a free person. I'll lay odds there were plenty in Palestine that were glad to see Rachel, "holier than though" Corrie, come out as thin as red construction paper!
