guyman1966 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 w w w . h a a r e t z d a i l y . c o m --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Last update - 21:17 16/03/2003Anti-Semitism report: Muslims carried out most attacks in 2002By Haaretz ServiceThe Foreign Ministry's annual report into incidents of anti-Semitism across the world, published Sunday in Jerusalem, claims that most of the reported attacks on Jews and Jewish interests were carried out by Islamic elements. The report singles out an attack against the ancient synagogue in Djerba, Tunisia in April last year by the Al-Qaida organization as the most severe. Twenty people were killed in the attack, among them German tourists and local citizens. The report also found that there was a marked rise in the number of anti-Semitic incidents in April and May, at the height of the IDF's Defensive Shield operation in the West Bank. This led the report's authors to conclude that "in many instances criticism of Israel turned into unbridled attacks against Zionism and the Zionists, and implicitly against the Jews." Prepared by the Coordination Forum for the struggle Against Anti-Semitism, the report reaches three main conclusion from its analysis of anti-Semitic incidents during 2002. It claims "world Jihad has set the Jewish world as its preferred target for terrorist attacks," that anti-Semitic propaganda in the Arab world has become more extreme, frequently making use of classic anti-Semitic symbols," and that "the radical left and the radical right grant unqualified support to the Palestinian cause in its conflict with Israel." In Europe, the report documented an increase in the number of reported incidents of anti-Semitism, and noted that France "stood out as the country in which the greatest number and most serious incidents occurred in comparison with other countries in the world." In North America, the report said there had been a "highly visible exacerbation of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric," culminating in a call on academic institutions to divest from companies trading with Israel.

brickhouse Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Just another article....Israeli bulldozer kills activist from Olympia By Florangela DavilaHARLEY SOLTES / THE SEATTLE TIMES Seattle resident Tom Glass, left, lights candles for two Palestinian Americans and Redmond residents Ayman Dahleh, center, and Rajai Tirhi, at a vigil last night for The Evergreen State College student Rachel Corrie, who was killed yesterday by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian doctor's home in Rafah, Gaza Strip. The vigil was held at the University of Washington's Red Square. E-mail this article Print this article Search web archive Perhaps it was her unshakeable passion for political causes that compelled Rachel Corrie to stand firm yesterday afternoon as an Israeli bulldozer advanced on the home of a Palestinian doctor in the perilous Gaza Strip. Wearing a fluorescent jacket, Corrie, a 23-year-old The Evergreen State College student, stood alone atop a mound of dirt and rubble when she was crushed and killed by the military bulldozer. Witnesses said she fell in front of the machine, which then ran over her. An ambulance rushed her to a local hospital, where she died of skull and chest fractures. "She waved for the bulldozer to stop. She fell down, and the bulldozer kept going," said Greg Schnabel, 28, of Chicago. "We yelled, 'Stop, stop,' and the bulldozer didn't stop at all." Israeli military spokesman Capt. Jacob Dallal called her death an accident. State Department spokesman Lou Fintor said the U.S. government has asked Israeli officials for a full investigation. The Israeli army said soldiers were looking for explosives and tunnels used to smuggle weapons. Corrie's friends and fellow activists mourned her death at two vigils last night in Olympia and at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her passing, they said, will bring greater public attention to the everyday violence that plagues that region. "In her memory, we'll continue the struggle for justice for all people," said Therese Saliba, an Evergreen State professor. Socially conscious from a young age and a well-known activist, Corrie was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a 2-year-old Palestinian-led organization that advocates nonviolence in challenging the Israeli occupation of contested territories. She was also helping document health-related human-rights violations as part of the Grassroots International for Protection of Palestinians. Volunteers like Corrie, called "internationals," pay their way to Israel and live with Palestinians, escorting them through military checkpoints or protesting the demolition of their homes or property. American volunteers, in particular, are able to protect Palestinians and, at times, discourage Israeli soldiers from shooting them, according to ISM. Corrie was in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where the Israeli government is building a wall on the border between Gaza and Egypt. Carla Curio of Seattle, who was in Rafah in December with ISM, said in order to build the wall, neighborhoods are being razed. Tom Dale, 18, a British protester who was standing several yards away, said eight representatives of the international group were in the vicinity of the bulldozer during its operations but none of the other demonstrators were within several yards of Corrie as she knelt in the rubble of a swath of sand, rock and debris between the house and the mammoth metal wall. The Israeli military forces were removing shrubbery along the border area and were approached by the protesters, according to a statement released by the military last night. Troops ordered the demonstrators to move away, the statement said. "An initial inquiry indicates that an Israeli bulldozer apparently accidentally ran over a protester," the statement continued, adding, "the windows of the bulletproof bulldozer are very small and the visibility is very limited, and the bulldozer operator did not see the woman." Several Palestinians gathered at the site, and troops opened fire, killing one Palestinian, witnesses said. The army had no comment on that report. Steve Hughes, one of Corrie's childhood friends, said she always was curious about life overseas. Her family once hosted an exchange student from Brazil, he said. Corrie attended and graduated from Olympia's Capital High School, where she was a member of the school's International Club. She had also studied briefly in Belize, Hughes said. Even on the liberal, politically active Evergreen campus, Corrie stood out for her convictions, campaigning on behalf of workers' rights with the Labor Education and Research Center. She was a key organizer in Sept. 11 anniversary events last year and was instrumental in leading a budding anti-Iraq-war movement. She spoke out on behalf of civil liberties as part of the Olympia Movement for Justice and Peace, and she took up the Palestinian cause as part of the Olympians for Peace in the Middle East as well as ISM. HARLEY SOLTES / THE SEATTLE TIMES Molly McClain peers from behind a sign at a candlelight vigil at the University of Washington's Red Square held in memory of International Solidarity Movement volunteer Rachel Corrie of Olympia, who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer yesterday in Rafah, a town in the southern Gaza Strip. McClain, a UW student, recently returned from volunteering with the ISM in the Gaza Strip. "She was just an amazingly committed and inspiring young person," said Saliba, the Evergreen professor. Corrie was "dedicated to everybody," said her father, Craig Corrie, from his home in Charlotte, N.C. "We've tried to bring up our children to have a sense of community, a sense of community that everybody in the world belonged to. Rachel believed that — with her life, now." Rachel Corrie, who had studied Arabic and was expected to graduate from Evergreen in the spring, had been planning to head to Gaza since last fall, said Phan Nguyen of the ISM group in Olympia. She hoped to establish a sister-city relationship between Rafah and Olympia. She had also envisioned setting up pen pals between Palestinian and local schoolchildren. She had studied the history of the region before she left Olympia, and had been advised on everything from what to pack, to how to enter the country, to how to remain calm in the face of danger. She knew the risks of going, her friends said. Preliminary training by local ISM volunteers includes a series of role-playing exercises, one of which involves attempting to walk through a checkpoint, or facing a soldier ordering people to clear an area about to be razed. Volunteers go through more extensive training upon their arrival in Israel. But from the beginning, the danger is never undersold, say those who have gone through the ISM training. Although Corrie was a bit apprehensive before she left seven weeks ago, friends say e-mails from Corrie in Rafah made it clear she was deeply committed to being there. In an e-mail earlier this month, Corrie described a Feb. 14 confrontation with another Israeli bulldozer. "The internationals stood in the path of the bulldozer and were physically pushed with the shovel backward, taking shelter in a house," Corrie wrote in the e-mail, distributed in a March 3 ISM news release. "The bulldozer then proceeded on its course, demolishing one side of the house with the internationals inside. The driver then dropped a sound grenade out of the cab of the bulldozer, and continued to demolish the house, at which point the activists were able to escape... " While 1,000 people from around the world have worked with ISM, Corrie is the first ISM volunteer to be killed. IMS organizers say their work will continue. Hours after news of Corrie's death circulated, Mary Gossman, a high-school teacher from Seattle, flew to Tel Aviv, Israel, from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. "She just felt that it was just so much more important to go," said her boyfriend Tom Glass, 38, of Seattle, who sent Gossman off. Gossman said she planned to help escort children to school despite Israeli-government-enacted curfews. Last night, her boyfriend stood among 100 people at the UW's Red Square paying tribute to Corrie in a candlelight vigil. Material from The Associated Press and The Washington Post is included in this report.

sassa Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Originally posted by guyman1966 If you are told to get out a house becasue they are gonna destroy it, you better move or be ready to die.RIP why are they destroying it in the first place? why are we not told of the many innocent people who die under the hands of the IDF who supposedly are seeking terrorists in the palestinian regions? there is NO excuse whatsoever for their behavior, these people have a right to live there, they have a right to have homes, and they have a right to defend themselves. interesting how it was blown up all over the news this month about the 15 israelis that died in a suicide bombing, yet we didn't hear on the media that over SEVENTY palestinians died that same month, of which one was a nine-month old pregnant woman and her child. is that humane? is that justified? i really don't think so.also, i don't appreciate your label, just because these people are muslims doesn't mean you can blame the entire muslim population for their sins. it shows how ignorant you are when you fail to realize that not all arabs are muslims and not all muslims are arabs....stupid...just stupid....and i get shit on here....go figure...

You think you know history, but you don't know shit. The Arabs and Christians who did not leave their homes and move into camps set up by Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt all still live in Israel and are citizens. It is the dumb fucks that listened to their "Arab brothers" that now paying the price.If the Arabs had the military strength that Israel has, there would be NO Israel today. But, visa-versa, Israel wants peace. The fucken violent Muslims are the ones responsible for all of the Violence. How come Israel can have a true peace w/ Egypt and Jordan, but not the Palestinians? I'll tell you, because the Palestinians don’t' keep their word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made it so attractive that the Israelis were offended by the fact that the Palestinians rejected it? Why did the Palestinians rejected it?

I'll tell you, because the Palestinians don’t' keep their word! i don't know shit? look who's talking.... everything you said is based on hatred. the first part is right, but these "Dumb fucks" were only doing what most people would do if they were faced by an invading force: die to fight and protect the land that their ancestors had held for hundreds of years. But probably being a red-blooded American, you wouldn't understand that, since your ancestors have conducted massive massacres in this great land of ours of the Native Americans all in the name of "liberty, freedom,and justice". Israel does not want peace. It is obvious from the actions of Ariel Sharon that it does not want peace. Sharon has stated himself this several times in news conferences and when he was a general in the Israeli military. A man that is so cold-hearted that he can lead a brigade into a refugee camp and shoot in cold blood Palestinian women, many of whom were pregnant, is not fit to serve as the leader of that country. Reread your words carefully...a true peace with Egypt and Jordan? Tell me, what is the largest majority in Jordan today? That's right, Palestinian. The Hashemites are a joke, they are as corrupted as the Israelis are. No doubt one day that land will be overwhelmed with Palestinians, which is what Sharon wants in the first place. He wants to push all the Palestinians left in the West Bank to their "rightful" place, the East Bank aka Jordan. Who doesn't know history? And I am telling you all this based on my Israeli education....you are such a moron, it really makes me sick knowing people like you think this way....

I recall you said you saw some bogus video of Palestinians cheering about 9/11....what else?? Bogus Video? Do you mean to tell me you did not see that video? Did Israeli TV produce it? NO. American photographers captured that image. Everything you say is a lie. You constantly lie about the Israeli government, the US government and anything else that does not meet up to your unrealistic standards.Sure, sometimes the Israeli government crosses the line, but you can't even bring yourself to say that about the Palestinians. The Palestinians could have ended this Years ago and in more recent history under you're beloved President Clinton. Jews and Judaism love peace. Their history screams this. The Palestinians have repeatedly demanded that there will not be peace until there is not "Zionist entity in Palestine". Well, until you and your Muslim friends seriously want peace and continue to target civilians, many more Palestinians will meet their maker.Again, answer this... If the Palestinians had the firepower that the Israelis do, do you think there would be a Jew left in Israel?I don't. But, I bet that solution would suite you fine.
