Not true. What was a disgrace was when Rabin was assasinated. Peace was near, but too close for the multinational interests of corporations and zionists. And when his government and that of the current Hamas government which was legally and democratically elected are ignored, you can't blame them, you have to look towards those that are trying to thwart their efforts. Gore's Nobel when the real truth is actually known will be the real disgrace and embarrassment. But I am sure you've rushed right out and bought the new light bulbs and probably a Prius. A turban doesn't make a terrorist, greed does.
I remember Rachel: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/corrie.html I guess most of you don't? She stood up for the rights of the Palestians, she didn't wear a uniform, she wasn't hired by any government. She didn't work for Blackwater or similiar companies. She was a true hero. Much as that student in China stood up in Tianamen Square, but we don't even know what they did to him. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/75679.stm But we do know who mowed Rachel down.
She wasn't an independent contractor/mercenary, she was a college student protecting kids playing on a pile of dirt. These are the true heros in the world today. People that stand up and an say no more!
Or, she was a protesting the demolition of a house. "protecting kids on a pile of dirt"?? where did you get that? (you made it up) Rachel Corrie This is the sad part, the truth(why she was really there) isn't something to hide or be ashamed of, but nevertheless you still have to LIE to get the truth out. She died fighting for her beliefs, and you're (posthumously) taking that away from her, shame on YOU. Trying to rewrite history to cover up your obvious prejudice is sickening.
No shit men please. In every country there are good people. Husband of my good friend is a Palestinian. They have two children. They are living with good life and they are trying to bring a hope to their neighbours. What wrong with you guys? They are just a people. With all the same feelings that you have.
Has one ever tried to kill one of you. How bout a hundred of them. Fighting with everything they have just to kill you because youre not Muslim. Thats what they want to do to you. Go spread the notion of peace in their country and they will stone you to death.
What about the thousands in US uniforms and contractors hired by the US government trying to kill just because you are a Muslim?
Perhaps my memories of the original reports are a bit off. I thought I remembered the report of children playing on the pile shortly before the dozer arived. I apologize.
As to the importance of Nobel Laureates, I don't think the Israelis care. They killed Rabin, they discounted Arafat, and this April of 2007: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/cur_sit/laureate-shot.html I don't remember reading or seeing anything about in the US media.
Hard to tell who the real terroists are? (July 05th, 2008) http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/05/24/1434/
http://www.redress.cc/palestine/rkysia20080706 The siege of gaza is criminal. Nothing can justify what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians.
here's another video that deals with the siege and Rachel Corrie, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RAxay3jg8
I clicked on 2 of those links,it's amazing what out and out garbage people can find on the internet.The so-called information age.Yeah right.
21 deaths resulting in 320 response killings seems to show a possible trend of exageration and politicization. What I find reprehensible is calling hired mercenaries contractors and painting them as heros. And the ethnic profiling and stereotyping of whole races and religions as terrorists, is a lame excuse to justify resource grabbing.
yes i remember this event i was going to bring this up but this would enrage the fanatics even more the bulldozer does god's work. the palestinians instinctively understand from the years of meeting the bulldozer that negotiations are over. maybe the israelis should bring this machine to the "peace negotiations" at least they would be honest about their intentions.
