Rachel Corrie aligned herself sentimentally and seamlessly with suffering Palestinians, reserving for them her absolute anger and pity to the extent that suffering Israelis merited nothing but a sneering hatred from her. 1/
Corrie’s idealism did not proceed from love but from ideologically induced hatred. She was a de-facto apologist for Palestinian terrorism, and she died trying to prevent the work of an Israeli bulldozer, which was searching for munitions buried in the ground . 2/
Contrary to Palestinian reports, the bulldozer was not there to demolish a house, (though houses used as cover for weapon-smuggling tunnels were demolished by the IDF, but not on that particular day). 3/
The munitions were there to be used in attacks against innocent civilians. Corrie died protecting terrorist weapons. She was indifferent to the deaths these weapons spelled at a time when suicide bombings were a matter of daily, hourly, occurrence in Israel. 4/
Look at this photo of Corrie and her complete self-abandon to mindless hatred. Note the difference between her semi-crazed demeanor and the baffled and smiling faces of the Palestinian kids, who surround her. What can it mean? 5/.
