Corrie Propaganda Continues
Efforts to canonize ISM terrorist supporter Rachel Corrie are continuing; I have some sympathy for her parents, who sound like well-meaning but naive and deluded people. But this AP release shamefully recycles the long-debunked lies of the pro-Palestinian, pro-terrorist ISM. (Hat tip: Melissa M.)
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The parents of a 23-year-old peace activist who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in the Gaza Strip urged those attending a memorial service to honor her memory by standing up for peace and fighting injustice.
“Rachel was taken from us by the kind of violence that she was working to stop in the Gaza Strip,” Craig Corrie told the more than 350 mourners remembering his daughter, Rachel Corrie, Saturday.
She had dreams of a sister-city relationship between Rafah, where she died March 16 trying to defend a Palestinian doctor’s home, and her own town of Olympia, Wash., where she was a student at The Evergreen State College, her parents said.
There’s one of the lies. On the day Rachel Corrie died, no houses were demolished in Rafah; the bulldozer that she stupidly jumped in front of was engaged in destroying tunnels used for smuggling prostitutes, drugs, and weapons from Egypt into the Gaza Strip. That’s what she was defending.
Her associates in the ISM, who blatantly lied about her activities that day and circulated misleading photos taken hours before her death, were recently caught hiding an Islamic Jihad terrorist and a cache of AK-47 rifles in their office in the Palestinian Authority.
And then there’s this howler:
She arranged for schoolchildren from Olympia to send e-mail to their counterparts in Rafah…
Doesn’t that sound innocuous? Just a peace-lover, spreading good will and promoting better relations with the children of Gaza.
But then there is this damning photograph of Rachel Corrie’s other activities with Palestinian schoolchildren, a photograph none of the canonizers seem to want to mention:
