ISM Human Shield: Alice Coy

Sun, Mar 16, 2003 at 8:06:37 pm PST

After she got rid of her scabies, International Solidarity Movement member Alice Coy headed to “Palestine” to protect the psychotic murderers she finds so very romantic.

Been in Gaza since Sat 8th, but arrived in Rafah the following day as that day we were forbidden at gunpoint to cross the checkpoint that divides the gaza strip in half (ostensibly to protect a settler road that also bisects the strip, the settlement having chosen to locate itself by the beach).

I think here is somewhere I want to stay for a while, despite the very conservative culture here meaning that uniquely in Palestine even the international women feel they must cover their hair. Admittedly I do this only with a hood, and more and more often I leave it down, but the boys who run riot through the city consider it their duty to hassle all women who do not subscribe to their female ideal.

For me it is also a relief to be away from having to negotiate with the Israeli soldiers, as here, thanks to the armed resistance, the soldiers are normally afraid to get out of their heavily armoured vehicles to subdue the daily life, instead there is possibly the highest mortality rate here, with almost daily shaheeds - those killed during the intifada.

Another victim of a liberal education.

I guess armed resistance is a commie term for snipers. Its a shame IDF snipers can't rid us of the likes of her. Maybe then she would be hunkering down for cover.

3 frankPOOR  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:20:47pm

She was just bulldozed to death you moron. What more could you ask for?

4 Seamus Warren  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:22:33pm

Don't people have any common sense anymore?

Two Sentences That Say It All:

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.

If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.


BTW: Jordan is "Palestine" so I don't get this desire for a second "Palestinian" state. :o)

5 Moe Katz  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:23:14pm

She wasn't bulldozed, this is different chick.

6 Dar ul Harb  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:26:23pm

That last bit makes it sound like the weather report.

"Forecast: Cloudy, with almost daily shaheeds."

7 Fay  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:31:37pm

#%$@&)!*#)@!*#_!*�*!%$^%*^$#

Oops sorry, that's the sound of me upchucking. Aaarghhhhhhhhhhh.

8 Dar ul Harb  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:35:49pm

I suppose if they detonate prematurely, they'd be termed "widely scattered shaheeds".

9 Lively  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:39:45pm

This is just a big game for this woman. She's going with the flow thinking she's on an adventure. And she seems to be a little confused. On 3/17/03 she calls herself an occasational animal rights activist. Earlier, while in Spain she's goin' to a Bull Fight in the evening. I thought that was a no-no amongst those PETA types.

10 Michael  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:43:24pm

This may be the woman in the photo from the "American Human Shield Killed in Gaza" item, who was identified as Alice in the original Rueters photo caption:

[Link: story.news.yahoo.com...]

Alice, from the United States,(no other details given) burns a U.S. flag during a pro-Iraqi rally by Palestinians and foreign peace activists in Rafah, south Gaza Strip February 15, 2003. The protests came a day after U.N. chief weapons inspectors Hans Blix and Mohamed El Baradei told the U.N. Security Council they had discovered no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. However, they accused Iraq of omissions in its arms declaration and said further investigation was needed. REUTERS/Radu Sigheti

11 landes  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:54:24pm

Unbelievabl. Earlier, that photo was clearly labelled as "Rachel corrie" by the photowire. I emailed it everywhere.

12 Lively  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 6:54:42pm

The scabies, that Charles alluded to, she had on 1/28. "Infestation." Will take weeks to get rid of.

I hope she was thoroughly healed and clean when she engaged in that orgy on 4/02.

(okay I know I should be working on tax returns right now, but I'm bored.)

13 Tim  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:00:05pm

Check out what she had to say about Sept. 11. (Let's just say, the words "I'm glad it happened in America" make an appearance. BIG surprise.)

Alice on Sept. 11

Deluded girl, but she knew the risks. Moving on...

14 Robert Schwartz  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:03:12pm

Now if we can get her to go to Bahgdad, the Air Force will be cancelling them wholesale.

15 Teacake  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:04:10pm

This journal item is especially interesting.

The Palestinian people are incredible. I am not here to save them. They are neither angels nor passive victims. They are making the Israeli occupying force work very hard. Unfortunately the resources available are horrifically asymetrical.

Instead I am here to stand next to them in their struggle. To witness. To report. To turn the racism inherent in this occupation back on the racists who don't know how to treat us internationals.

16 Fred  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:16:16pm

More details...

17 Donna V.  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:20:02pm

Let's hope she sits down in front of a bulldozer too.

18 Teacake  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:30:12pm

Here's another of Alice Coy's humble entries.

Vince - ode to my non-political boyfriend

The papers say "Violent illegal anarchist rioter plan mayhem". The police beat us up on demonstrations.

You kiss me, and tell me what happened in the X files

I fight to overcome my fear of public speaking as I try to involve the rest of the community by racing from meeting to meeting.

You smile sweetly and snuggle me on the sofa.

My friends are stopped at airports, arrested, offered a thousand pounds to be informants, told their sick mothers will be intimidated until they talk to the police, arrested and then released without charge after their houses have been searched.

You make gentle love to me, feed me, provide a safe haven.

The police photograph us at meetings, refuse entry to non corporate media at their press conferences, slander us.

You remind me that I am human and why I am a revolutionary`

19 zulubaby  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:33:39pm

Nasty! I wonder how many people she gave scabies to while participating in this orgy.

20 zulubaby  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:35:43pm
You remind me that I am human and why I am a revolutionary`

LOL!

21 Teacake  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:47:28pm

ZB... I guess being that narsisistic is sort of sad, but if only they would just stay home.

QUESTION- I opened the pix at electronicIntifada on another window and looked at the java message, as it wouldn't give source. The dates all say 2-13 but the story broke today, 2-16. What is that about?

22 Johan Wehtje  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 7:48:29pm

Her journal does sound as if she has more than a few psychological issues to deal with - seems she is in a permananet state of identity crisis.
What I find hard to understand is where the money comes from to fund this constant globe trotting, I mean she never seems short of a quid to go the pub etc. as well as always being equipped with the latest in electronic gear. Skiing as well.. .
I really try hard to ensure that my dislike and hatred is focussed on the ideas of my ideological opponents rather than their persons. But when you read that her first reaction to hear of the WTC attck on 9/11 was to cheer - well it is difficult not to fell ones disgust envelop everything. The self righteousness and hypocrisy of her position is the product of total intellectual self indulgence. At the time she was cheering most casualty estimates where in the tens of thousands - to cheer the deaths of 10's of thousands of civilians and feel self riteous about it is beyond evil.

This is where certain political persuasions are no longer simple differneces in perspective or even the function of a ones political personality. This is where ones political position really seems to qualify as a form of psychological pathology.

23 nobody  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 8:30:17pm

she's just a poor little rich kid.

24 MarkJ  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 8:49:56pm

These kinds of behaviors by these "revolutionarise" border on treason. But they can't see that if they were raised in the places that they are so sympathetic to, yet opposed the policies of those places, they would be marked for execution by the regimes. Let's be honest, anyone who would cheer 9/11 is an enemy of our country. It would be sweet justice if somehow she ended up stuck among the palestinians the rest of her life. I think a few years of that might wake her up. I doubt anything else would.

25 Sajoie DeVie  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 9:03:49pm

Here's what I don't get:
She is harassed by young men in the street for not covering her hair, and wants to stand with the culture in solidarity. Yet, if a co-worker stateside told her she had pretty eyes there would be a sex discrimination suit. This doesn't make sense to me.

26 zulubaby  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 9:13:15pm

Johan Wehtje (#22)

What I find hard to understand is where the money comes from to fund this constant globe trotting, I mean she never seems short of a quid to go the pub etc. as well as always being equipped with the latest in electronic gear. Skiing as well.. .

Why? Maybe her parents? It's not really relevant though.

At the time she was cheering most casualty estimates where in the tens of thousands - to cheer the deaths of 10's of thousands of civilians and feel self riteous about it is beyond evil.

But she stands in solidarity with psychotic mass-murdering terrorists so her cheering 9/11 should come as no big surprise.

27 Zachary Cohen  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 10:19:55pm

"We actually heard that Palestinians had bombed the World Trade Organisation and the majority of us cheered"

THIS is a PEACE ACTIVIST?

28 Frank IMC  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 10:57:58pm

The really sad part is that now all those scabies bugs are now homeless.

29 So.F.What  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 10:59:56pm

I feel sorry for the poor old scabies.

30 Frank IMC  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 11:01:22pm

seems she is in a permananet state of identity crisis

The good news is that scientists have identified the part of the brain from which Borderline Personality Disorder (characterized by the above) originates. Interestingly it appears to be related to Attention Deficit Disorder.

Hopefully we are just a few years away from a drug ala Ritalin that will treat this disorder.

31 Frank IMC  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 11:03:32pm

#27 - She doesn't know the difference between the WTO and the WTC? Figures.

32 HULUGU  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 11:04:24pm

she should protest in an islamic cite in france without a head covering and then count the number of sand monkeys that gang rape her--another deluded leftie passionately identifying with the "down trodden" who would stone her ass to death if if she engaged in the freedom of pre-marital sex that she so poetically adores--maybe she should put her head under a toy truck so she can become a shaheed as it runs over her little brain--this bee-ach is is so disgusting that....i can't finish--she inspires nausea--i'm going to throw up...

33 zulubaby  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 11:13:58pm

Frank IMC (#31)

Gets worse.

I know it sounds terrible, but I honestly feel that if it had to happen anywhere, I'm glad it happened in America.

Check out the link in Tim's post (#13).

34 Zachary Cohen  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 11:19:51pm

I've honestly never felt this amount of hatred for a person in my life.

I wish that this bitch gets run over like her friend Rachel did. There is only one group of people worse than terrorists, and that is terrorist supporters. They are the one's that enable to let these people do what they do.

35 Caton  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 11:24:12pm

#34 Zachary Cohen

Cool down, get over it. This kind of people is not worthy of hatred, only of contempt.

Do you hate cockroaches? They get flattened, too.

36 Emery Calame  Sun, Mar 16, 2003 11:49:59pm

I wish I could eat a hell of a lot of broccoli, fart in a vanilla envelope, and send it to her via registered mail but that only works in cartoons.


Probably.

37 Caton  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 12:01:22am

#36 Emery Calame

Worth a try. But eat Brussels sprouts instead of broccoli. You'll get more smell for your buck.

38 Emery Calame  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 12:25:54am

Maybe I could just get one of those insulated shipping envelopes and fill it with a half pound of smelts? They oughta' smell real good by the time they get there....

I just want to share the love man!

When I get the signature receipt tag back and frame it and hang it in the front hall it'd be a happy day....let me tell ya!

39 Emery Calame  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 12:27:21am

BTW I'm kidding. I don't REALLY send people expired sea food or sulfrous bio-methane vapor samples. I SWEAR!

40 Nicholas  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 12:55:41am

Food for thoughts: Useful spam

Instead of the broccoli I propose some letters with sliced ham to our Islamic friends near and far.

It is a precision weapon. It hits hardest where the belief is strongest.

(No, I do not respect anyones beliefs; knowledge is respected here.)

41 a "settler"  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 2:43:07am

British by birth, Israeli by Nationality & Jewish by Religion, here's my message to you: Just GO HOME all you misguided, uninformed, "well-meaning" internationals/peaceniks.
You have NO idea what its all about. You are interfering in s'thing that does not concern you & that you do not understand. Go look up some REAL facts before you don your keffiah and play at being a Palestinian wanna be.
You are not wanted here, not by the Israeli's & believe me, not by the Pali's either.
I do not rejoice at the death of anyone, but lets face it - if you are stupid enough to engage in this sort of activity, then live (or die) with the consequences (same gives for sleeping around & promoting open relationships/free sex).

42 Caton  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 2:52:02am

#41 a "settler"

Huh... Who are you talking to?

43 Frank IMC  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 4:26:36am

#36 - vanilla envelope

Actually it's "manila" envelope, but the former sounds totally yummy! :)

And when you're eating all the brussels sprouts, etc., don't forget to eat eggs, for maximum hydrogen sulfide emissions.

#34 Caton - Do you hate cockroaches? They get flattened, too.

And scabies, too.

44 Frank IMC  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 4:31:45am

Is this girl British, or American? The way she writes is somewhat British.

45 JamesW  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 4:58:29am

Johan Wehtje, there's a reason this sort o person is called a 'MasterCard Marxist.'

46 Vast Jewish Conspiracy  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 5:19:07am

With so many Jewish children being blown to bits by psychopatic murderers, it's nice to know that Jihad Jane has such compassion for the donkey she was compelled to beat.

47 Caton  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 5:32:28am

#43 Frank IMC

Poor scabies!

48 kathyn  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 6:10:09am

Sne mentions more than once that she is an anarchist. That pretty much says it all. Stupid, misguided poor little rich girl. What a wasted life.

49 Kelly  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 6:18:12am

Their sympithies for the innocent Arabs are worthy of respect. We should not blindly assume that they willing support terrorists. The majority of Arabs are just trying to live their lives the best they can.

However, the ISM members are used by the Arab leadership who are terrorists and have no moral difficulty manipulating the ISM for their own agenda.

The ISM are made up of young idealistic and disapointingly nieve indivdiuals.

50 Toby  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 6:19:11am

From Tim (#13)'s link:

...Palestinians had bombed the World Trade Organisation and the majority of us cheered

Just a quick reminder of why I don't really give a shit when someone complains that we 'squandered' the good will the US received after 9/11.

The leftist global community only like us when we're victims.

51 Caton  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 6:20:36am

#48 kathyn

Huh... I think this one is still alive.

52 kathyn  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 6:39:07am

#51 Caton. She may yet be alive, but I still say she's wasted her life. There are many ways to truly be of service to one's fellow men (and women), but from her notes, she's basically on a lark and it's just fun and games to her. I just have no respect for her at all.

53 Caton  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 6:43:07am

#52 kathyn

Agreed. But, she's still young. There might be a chance.

54 Ral  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 6:48:53am

Frank asks:

Is this girl British, or American? The way she writes is somewhat British.

The Americans can have her if she's from here.

55 Abu Hamza  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 7:15:35am

I make the same point as #25 "Devie" makes, only broader. At the risk of being called a racist, I think it is a fair observation to state that Arab men treat western women pretty shabbily when they visit Arab countries. How is it possible for left wing westerners (especially women like Alice) to overlook this? Yes, so do Italian men, Mexican men, etc. But I think a western woman, wearing western clothes, would have a harder time traveling alone in an Arab country than any other country in the world. Just an observation based on my travels to Morocco (summer of 1998) , Israel and the Palestinian Territories (spring of 1996) and based on conversations with western women who have traveled to other Arab countries. I am open to counter-observations that prove me wrong.

56 grillmaster Celissa  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 7:28:25am

instead there is possibly the highest mortality rate here, with almost daily shaheeds - those killed during the intifada.

Feel free to join them, Alice.
Maybe you will do the world a favor and get "intafada'd" too.

57 grillmaster Celissa  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 7:34:22am

If you follow the links and read her "journal", you get quite a surprise.

What a deluded, amoral skank.

Please God, send a bulldozer this hosebag's way so that I can say, "If it had to happen to anyone, I'm glad it happened to her."

58 david  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 9:13:15am

rachel corrie's diary praises suicide bombers

[Link: www.scoop.co.nz...]

She was NOT a pacifist, she advocated violent methods and praised the suicide bombers in Israel as "fighters that beautifully offer their lifes against the oppressor"

The last "fighter" exploded himself in a bus full of school kids, but this was not a big deal to this stupid "peace activist".

59 Bah  Mon, Mar 17, 2003 9:17:46am

I don't believe that Alice Coy is the same invidiual as Rachel Corrie. Rachel was most definitely from Olympia, WA (where I also happen to live). Posts on alice-coy.org seems to imply that she's from England.

60 zulubaby  Tue, Mar 18, 2003 7:54:56pm

Some of you seem to be getting the two confused. This thread is about Alice Coy, not Rachel Corrie.

61 a "settle"  Tue, Mar 18, 2003 11:32:12pm

#42
Apologies if it wasn't clear the first time. I will repeat it a little slower for those who didn't understand:

GO HOME - i.e. All you international activists currently in "Palestine" fighting alongside the "oppressed" (by whom?) GO BACK to the country that you hitchhiked from, be it the US, the UK, or any other country in the big wide world that cares to host you. If its Alice - go fight on behalf of the oppressed in N.Ireland. A beautiful cause if ever I saw one, created by your very own English people. Go sort that one out before you mess around in other peoples lives that you can't even begin to identify with.

62 Caton  Wed, Mar 19, 2003 12:09:32am

#61 a "settle"

Ah! them...

I thought you were saying I should leave France and go back home in Israel. Not that it would be wrong, mind you...

63 Amos  Wed, Mar 19, 2003 1:05:22am

I read her journal via the link. Funny thing, with all the 'dozer trying to kill them and bullets flying around, not one person - even the endangered donkey - got hit. Imagine that!
But that's OK. Had the IDF really been out to kill, no way that alice would have been here. She's only protesting in front of soldiers she knows will not harm a hair on her head. I don't see her marching for Kurds, or Chechens, for that matter. After all, she knows that Iraqis and Russians shoot to kill. Actions speak louder than words - even words coming out of a hypocritic loudmouth like her.

64 a "settler"  Wed, Mar 19, 2003 3:57:05am

For those of you who wondered where Alice and her ilk get the money from for their globe trotting activities, here is some information reported in one of Israel's news sources on Friday:
Israel investigative journalist David Bedein (Israel Resource News Agency; ) spoke with Arutz-7 this morning about the "peace activists" working in Israel on behalf of the Arabs in Yesha (judah, samaria, gaza - ed. a "settler"). "...... Much of their activities are efficiently coordinated by Netta Golan, who received $10,000 a year ago from Bat Shalom (an Israeli left-wing group ed. a "settler"), via the New Israel Fund of the U.S. She married a Fatah activist and lives in Shechem... Two days ago, they announced via the internet that people should come and bodily block the bulldozers from razing terrorist homes in Gaza... They receive payments for what they do - monthly grants from the International Solidarity Movement, ... There is also the Committee Against Home Demolitions, which receives 250,000 Euros a year from the EU... ..."

65 a settler  Wed, Mar 19, 2003 10:43:52pm

sorry, it wasn't friday, it was earlier this week, after Corrie's death
