Rachel Corrie

Rachel Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). She was crushed to death in the Gaza Strip by an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) bulldozer when she was kneeling in front of a local Palestinians home, thus acting as a human shield, attempting to prevent IDF forces from demolishing the home. The IDF stated that the death was due to the restricted angle of view of the IDF Caterpillar D9 bulldozer driver, while ISM eyewitnesses said "there was nothing to obscure the driver's view." A student at the Evergreen State College, she had taken a year off and travelled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada.

When will justice be served!

the report mentions two ships, the spirit of rachel carrie and the mv finch. Is this really one ship possibly renamed?

Why is the word "Israeli" in quotes in the title? Am i missing some subtle here?

Opus, the link to presstv doesn't work!

try just googling presstv. haaretz just briefly mmentions 'Moldovian registered ship' in breaking news.Presstv as it as mv finch. maybe the original name before the trip. Apparently not connected to flotilla due to head Gaza-wards in june. Surprised no-one closer to the issues is posting yet.
Come in IPSC.

Let them eat sewage, seems to be un, coalition of the willing, paragons of democracy, humanitarian 'protectors of civilians', upholders of law and order, 'never again' brigade's policy. As the jewish writer hannah arendt said, 'the banality of evil' prevails. She might refer today to the blatant banality of 'acceptable levels of violence'.

Obama will be following the royal train, with aipac at one shoulder, and the pentagonal general strangeloves at the other. Keep your forelocks jedwarded for the h-oil seizer reception. Heres one from an earlier visitation...

Charm offensive

That good ol' electric chairman
Of the global checkerboard
Is dropping by to check
The level of his emerald oil

All our dip-stick digna-tories
Will assemble under his chopper
To heil the chief with his skinhead swat squad
As he ladles the largesse

Those speeches will be played
On democracy and freedom
As the cameras pan and flash
But no mention must be made
Of the simultaneous subterranean
Teen-age counter-traffic
Homeward bound
Gung westward ho
In frozen freight-hold body-bags

The platitudes will rain
Like liberating missiles
On iraqi weddings
While fanfares blast
Like rockets down a gaza ghetto

And everywhere
The children will squeal and scream
As with his renowned and customary charm
He de-lights them.

I'll dedicate this one to Minister Shatter..for his commendable silence on the whole fucking crock of shit that is Zionist racism...last regime on the planet to finally comply with sanctions against apartheid South Africa.
