HOW RACHEL CORRIE REALLY DIED

How Rachel Corrie really died (Hint: Not protecting a house) (Israel Matzav) (Hat tip: Uncle Sticky)
In a series of three videos, each running approximately nine minutes, Becky Johnson and Lee Kaplan debunk the myth that Corrie was protecting a house. In fact, as Smooth Stone points out and as you will see in the video, Corrie was standing in a trench where she could not be seen, protecting an entrance to a weapons tunnel.

BULLDOZERS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, STUPIDITY DOES!

Blame the Bulldozer (WSJ-BOTW)
Remember Rachel Corrie? She's the young Washington state woman who four years ago stood between an Israeli bulldozer and a tunnel used to smuggle terror weapons from Egypt into Gaza. Unfortunately, the bulldozer operator didn't see her, and she was crushed to death--a tragic accident in which she was at fault.

The Associated Press reports from Seattle that her parents are trying to collect damages from the maker of the bulldozer:

The family of a woman killed trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home in 2003 asked a federal appeals court panel to reinstate its lawsuit against Caterpillar Inc., saying the company knew bulldozers it sold to the Israeli government were being used to commit human rights violations.

"Caterpillar sold this product knowing--or it should have known--it would cause exactly this harm," one of the family's lawyers, Duke University law professor Erwin Chemerinsky told the three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday. . . .

Corrie's parents said after the hearing that they have been carrying on their daughter's work since she died.

"You can't go back to the way things were before, so you determine a path forward," Cindy Corrie said. "Rachel left a very strong message about trying to make a difference on these important issues. This gives our life a lot of meaning."


One has to feel pity for the Corrie family. It must be devastating to lose a child, especially when her own senseless behavior was to blame. But there is something truly twisted about lawyers invoking "human rights" in trying to help plaintiffs cash in from efforts to help terrorists murder civilians.

BOSTON COLLEGE STUDENTS STAGE ANTI-ISRAEL "PLAY" AT ISRAELI CONSULATE

Boston Moonbat Students Stage Anti-Israel "Play" at Israeli Consulate (LGF)

Here are some people who, in the words of one commenter at YouTube, really suck; Boston College students staging an incredibly obnoxious, violently bigoted episode of "street theater" outside the Israeli consulate in Boston, to try to cash in once again on the reputation of terror supporter and International Solidarity Movement member Rachel Corrie.

If you want to know any more about this disgraceful event, the creeps have posted a long screed at the YouTube page where they uploaded it, apparently with pride.

It's always appropriate to remind people who may not know, or have forgotten, what Rachel Corrie really stood for—screaming in rage and burning a bad facsimile of the US flag in a demonstration for Palestinian children shortly before her death:
