How Self-Hating Jews Show Their Support For Israel.

Rachel Corrie in one of her better moments: Burning an Americaan Flag.

The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival was formed to showcase Jewish filmmakers around the world. In earlier times it was used to show films on the plight of Jews in the Soviet Union, stories of courage during the Holocaust, and films from Israel. That is until The Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) two openly anti-Israel groups, took over control of the festival. So instead of stories dealing with the plight of Jews, there are now stories dealing with self-hating Jews such as this one:
Rachel

In 2003, in a controversial incident, 22-year-old American peace activist Rachel Corrie was killed while attempting to stop an Israeli military bulldozer from demolishing homes in Gaza. Rachel is a dispassionate but devastating essay investigating the circumstances of her death—including astounding eyewitness testimony from activists, soldiers, army spokespersons and physicians, as well as insights from Corrie’s parents, mentors and diaries. It quietly raises troubling questions while painting a complex portrait of a committed activist.
That was directly from their website. In an attempt to placate the critics of this decision, the festival issued the following statement:

As with all the films we show at SFJFF, we are presenting the views of the filmmakers and their subjects in what we hope is an atmosphere that encourages free expression and public debate. We regret that the filmmaker of Rachel could not be present to discuss the film personally, although we invited her to be here. Cindy Corrie, Rachel Corrie’s mother, is a subject of the documentary, and it is customary (and even expected by audiences) for documentary subjects to participate in Festival screenings. This kind of exchange has occurred throughout our Festival’s long history, and Cindy Corrie herself has addressed audiences at the Tribeca Film Festival, presentations in New York theaters, and other cultural forums. We wish to provide our audiences with the same opportunity. Her appearance at SFJFF is not intended to provide a political platform but rather to deepen the dialogue around the film. Cindy Corrie has publicly advocated for ensuring “justice, freedom, security and economic viability for both Israelis and Palestinians.” We think it will be an illuminating conversation.
Perhaps Cindy Corrie should convert to Islam since she doesn't wish to be a member of the Jewish Community any more. It would be better for her, her family and the Jewish Community if she and her self-hating clan did.

The real truth about Rachel Corrie can be found here. As I have written earlier about this Moonbat, she didn't have enough brains to come in from the rain. The good thing about her death is that it happened before she had any children, thus preventing the birth of more like her.

It is too bad that she wasn't awarded a Darwin Award, but has been made immortal by Elder of Ziyon in his song about her.

The Best Product of a Leftist Education

Hat tip and video by Elder of Ziyon




Rachel Corrie was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She was killed by a Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a protest against the destruction of Palestinian homes by the IDF in the Gaza Strip. The ISM maintains that Corrie was run over deliberately.
On March 16, 2003, Corrie was in a group of seven ISM activists (three British and four Americans) attempting to disrupt the actions of Israeli bulldozers. After several hours of activity in the combat zone, Corrie sat in the path of a bulldozer, where she was fatally injured. According to an ISM activist, Joseph Smith, Corrie fully expected the bulldozer to stop just in front of her.
Now why would she believe that? What about the bulldozers that attacked Jews in Jerusalem? Did those people think that they would stop? This is the result of a liberal education. Lack of intelligent thought.
Smith recounted afterward, "We were horribly surprised. They had been careful not to hurt us. They'd always stopped before." Corrie was transported to a Palestinian hospital. Accounts vary as to whether she died at the scene, in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, or at the hospital.

ISM eyewitnesses assert that the Israeli soldier driving the bulldozer deliberately ran Corrie over twice while she was acting as a human shield to prevent the demolition of the home of Samir Nasrallah, a local pharmacist.
That is what the left-wing Moonbats say happened. They'd always stopped before. Such cold heartless monsters these Israelis are. Stopping before they run over someone with a bulldozer.

Now here is the truth:
The 23-year-old Corrie, who traveled more than 8,000 miles from Olympia, Washington, was run over by a bulldozer when she tried to block the vehicle from demolishing a house in Rafah - a house where she had been staying.

The Israeli military ruled that this was an accident and ISM members accused the driver of murder even before the military could investigate the incident.

It may pass the "reasonable person" test that these ISM'ers knew very well they were helping terrorists. What would a reasonable person conclude?

Consider: The Israeli government revealed that 90 weapons-smuggling tunnels were constructed between the Egyptian border and Rafah. At least some of these tunnels were known to end underneath the homes in Rafah.

With 90 tunnels running underneath Rafah, there must have been lots of suspicious activity. Corrie and her friends would have had to be blind not to notice.

First, there are the tunnel connections underneath the homes. ISM'ers who stayed with Gazan families might have seen the tunnels themselves, or they at least spotted people going back and forth from the basement of the home.

During deliveries, people would have been hauling the goods out of the homes. Maybe Corrie herself did some heavy lifting.

The weapons then had to be transported somehow. Vehicles appear to be the natural choice. They would have had to be driven to the tunnel entrances and the weapons would need to be loaded onto the trucks.

Would you wonder about this kind of activity if you were personally on the scene?

Wherever ISM members mingled and even lived among Gaza and West Bank Arabs, it is possible that many of these Arabs were terrorists or helped the terrorists by feeding and housing them. The ISM'ers could have been at gatherings where they were introduced to suspected terrorists, heard stories about violent activities or noticed otherwise suspicious activity.

Actually, there is not only evidence, but proof of ISM aiding and abetting terrorists. When terrorists seized a church in Bethlehem, a few ISM'ers smuggled food to them.

If you put it all together, a reasonable person must conclude that the ISM members knew they were aiding and abetting terrorists.

The instant that it dawned on any of them that they might be helping terrorists was precisely the time for them to end their involvement. That's what a sincere and honorable person would have done.

Perhaps some ISM'ers dismissed such validation on grounds that this was the Arabs' only mechanism to resist Israel's brutal occupation. Which would excuse, in their warped minds, the murder of hundreds of innocent human beings.
Aiding and abetting terrorists. Smuggling weapons. Standing in front of bulldozers. I now understand that these are required classes at her alma mater: The Evergreen State College. A school that gives the usual Liberal Arts Moonbat experience and classes. Nothing really useful in today's world. They will probably be adding a degree in Jihad soon.

This woman died because her parents, her church and her schools failed to teach her the one necessary idea needed for today's world:

When a bulldozer comes at you, jump out of its way!
