The "Palestinian" cause is the worlds greatest appeal to emotion fallacy. In what other situation could one nation defending itself from relentless rocket and homicide bomber attacks be considered the aggressor? Those who support the Palestinian cause always resort to saying "But what about the kids!" as if Israeli children's lives have no value. The only way that anyone can support the Palestinians over the Israelis is by believing the Palestinian's own distorted history. If you take the time to look at the actual history and what is actually happening there, then you get a completely different view on the subject.

So I'm wondering how many people who oppose Israel's right to defend her people do so because they have been fooled and how many do so because they are Jew haters.

Yitzhak Shamir
Prime Minister of Israel from 1983 to 1984 and again from 1986 to 1992.

In Mandate Palestine
In 1935, he immigrated to Mandate Palestine, Hebraizing his surname to Shamir in the same year. He joined the Irgun Zvai Leumi, an underground Jewish militia organization directed against the British control of Palestine and inspired by the views of Vladimir Jabotinsky. When the Irgun split in 1940, Shamir sided with the most militant faction, Lehi, headed by Avraham Stern. This group has been described as a terrorist organization. In secret contacts with German representatives at Beirut the group offered to open up a military front against the British in the Middle East in return for the expulsion (rather than extermination) of the Jewish population of Europe to Palestine.

In 1941 Shamir was imprisoned by British authorities. After Stern was killed by the British in 1942, Shamir escaped from the detention camp and became one of the three leaders of the group in 1943, reforming it as "Lehi". In October 1944 he was exiled and interned in Africa by the Mandate authorities. He made an attempt to escape from one of the camps by hiding in a water tank. He was returned, along with the other detainees, after the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948.

As one of Lehi's triumvirate, he authorized the assassination of the United Nations representative in the Middle East, Count Folke Bernadotte who was seen by Shamir and his collaborators as an anti-Zionist and "an obvious agent of the British enemy". Regarding these actions, Shamir remarked that "neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat."

Shamir and his fellow underground fighters greatly admired the Irish Republicans and sought to emulate their anti-British struggle. Shamir himself took the nickname "Michael" for Michael Collins.

Jew Haters? What a joke. Why would people hate Jews when all we want is fairness and justice of all humans. Jews prove themselves.
They think America owes them something while they have a long history of being aggressive and over reacting like in Lebanon, they lost a soldier and destroyed a country. And people are suppose to respect that?

There was a young American student in Israel wanting to help the Palestians and a Jewish soldier bulldozed her down. No one has ever even been brought to trial. She was one of ours. If America had such violent knee jerk reactions as Israel, we would have bombed Israel. Israel is too inhumane and aggressive to be respected.

It happened it 2003 so it has been about 6 years and not 4 years go....

Four years ago Rachel Corrie was murdered. No one has been brought to trial, no one has been charged and no one has claimed responsibility.
Who was she, what was she doing in the Occupied Territories… and why? Last question first…. she was there to fight injustice. She was there with fellow members of the International Solidarity Movement.
She was a non vilolent person killed by violence while trying to stop the illegal demolition of a home belonging to Palestinians…. IN PALESTINE.
She was a twenty three year old American with her whole life ahead of her. She was a person that cared…. cared in such a way that she was moved to participate in the activities of the Movement…. cared enough to risk her life. Her faith in her fellow man did not allow her to believe that her life was actually in danger, which raises the question of was her murderer actually a fellow man or was he transformed into a beast?
Whatever the answer is, Rachel Corrie is dead…. murdered in cold blood in Palestine by Israelis. She was not the first, nor the last, but she will always be remembered for her bravery and devotion.

Rachel Corrie walked in front of a bulldozer. The driver couldn't see her, she was shorter than the scoop on the front. She wasn't murdered, she killed herself though a very stupid and unfortunate accident. Her own diary showed that the people she was trying to help had a secret tunnel in their house through which they smuggled weapons. The Israelis were right in bulldozing that house, it was being used to smuggle weapons into Palestine.

Learn the History of those you defend spidey!!

An article titled "Terror" in He Khazit (The Front, a Lehi underground newspaper) argued as follows:

Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat. We are very far from having any moral qualms as far as our national war goes. We have before us the command of the Torah, whose morality surpasses that of any other body of laws in the world: "Ye shall blot them out to the last man." But first and foremost, terrorism is for us a part of the political battle being conducted under the present circumstances, and it has a great part to play: speaking in a clear voice to the whole world, as well as to our wretched brethren outside this land, it proclaims our war against the occupier. We are particularly far from this sort of hesitation in regard to an enemy whose moral perversion is admitted by all.

(This, "enemy," is the British and anyone else who stood in their way for the establishment of Israel)

BS they didn't see her, you start off with a lie in defense of Israel, there is a picture of her standing in front of the bulldozer pleading for it to stop. The murder was photographed. The rest of what you are saying is probably not true either.

The real story

http://www.worldproutassembly.org/archives/2006/02/_israel_we_wont.html

Here is video of her being hit. You can see that she is kneeling behind a pile of debris. The driver didn't see her.

http://www.think-israel.org/israelmatzav.howcorriedied.html

The picture you are talking about is shown to be a fake here:
http://bp2.blogger.com/_FLz_5h26aT8/R7GofWkeH0I/AAAAAAAAAFc/3IEXlp2WS84/s1600-h/RachelCorrieLied.jpg

Notice that everything in the picture has a shadow except for the bulldozer and the guy standing next to Rachel? The largest thing and it doesn't have a shadow? Also, the guy next to Rachel not only doesn't have a shadow, he doesn't have feet. That's a very poor job of faking the picture, but the Palestinians have never been very good at faking such things.

EDIT:

Your link: http://djiin.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/rachel_corrie_after_attack.jpg

Is a classic Appeal to Emotion. Instead of offering evidence, you provide a picture of her injured.

Her death was sad, but it was her fault.

interesting. i never heard about this fake.

And this comes from IDF...."It was an accident"
And this is what they want America and the world to believe, they are such innocent victims. They are ALWAYS only protecting themselves. Well, the the world has woken up, Israel, maybe not the majority of Americans, but enough to make a difference.

What was your reaction to video showing that they were telling the truth? Reject the truth and insist that Israel is evil.

You are brainwashed or a Jew hater.

You have rejected video evidence that Rachel Corries death was an accident and photographic proof that the picture of Rachel Corrie in front of the house was a fake. Why can't you accept that Rachel Corrie was killed on accident and then her death was used to disparage Israel?

watch the Club Cruz videos. they are compelling.
it would seem that the Rachel Corrie's sad death
has indeed been very badly distorted by Palestinian
propagandists.

there have been well documented descriptions of
this - referred to as Pallywood - by the news show
60 minutes for example...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_B1H-1opys

It seems that you will believe any propaganda and there is much that Israel feeds you.

seems that a person can pick which propaganda appeals to their preconceptions and deny all the others

do you think that the Club Cruz videos are false?

do you think the 60 minutes report on Pallywood was false?

they seem very compelling to me.

dont want in your foolish arguement but I do operate heavy equipment...You cant see anything directly in front of the dozier and you cant hear anything..Anyone who walks near heavy equipment when it is operational is either a fool or attempting to injury or kill themselves....I crushed a golfcart several years back because someone ran it infront of where I was working to save a bird nest and the insurance company and the courts completely cleared me and inturn charged the driver with malicious damage...

then that would mean that both sides lie and the terrorism is the same, except that Israel has bombs and a much stronger military. The world still sees Israel as inhumane, overly aggressive to the point of terrorism.

Watch some of the other video's, What Israel doesn't want you to see. Listen to the story that is told by Rachael's friends who were witnesses in the aritle by World prout assembly and the stories start to sound the same.

i had read those. i had not seen the rather well described
discussion about how the previous ISM descriptions had been
probably fabricated, exaggerated and faked!

after seeing the videos posted above, i am inclined to
believe that the Corrie instance was in fact an accident
but was misreported by her colleagues.
