-Caveat Lector-
International Solidarity Movement activist killed
 
 
 
American college student Rachel Corrie was tragically killed on Sunday
when she fell down as an IDF bulldozer destroyed a house in Gaza.

The bulldozer was part of an operation to eliminate tunnels used by
Palestinian terrorists to illegally smuggle weapons from Egypt into Gaza.

Corrie apparently stood atop a mound of dirt as the bulldozer approached
the house, but then fell backward, tumbling down the mound and out of
sight. The bulldozer continued and accidentally crushed her.

The IDF Spokesman said that soldiers repeatedly warned demonstrators to
keep a safe distance.

Corrie was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement. She was
known for anti-Israel and anti-American activities, as this photo from
Gaza shows Corrie burning an American flag, while Palestinian children look on.

(In general, we wonder on what basis the International Solidarity Movement
justifies shielding a house used for weapons smuggling.)

The Washington Post
(http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A35126-2003Mar16.html) notes
two important points:

1) soldiers driving an armored bulldozer have limited visibility because
of the narrow window.

2) One of the ISM founders admits the protesters might not have been as
disciplined in their protest as they should have been.

Most media reports failed to mention that the IDF bulldozer was looking
for smuggling tunnels. Instead, reports described the house
sympathetically as "the home of a Gazan doctor."

And the entire mainstream media neglected to mention Corrie's
anti-American activities and flag-burning.

HonestReporting encourages members to monitor your local media to see how
they are reporting the circumstances of Corrie's unfortunate death, and
her personal background.
