The honorable Misha links to a posting proclaiming an anti-Zionism (read: anti-Jewish) rally a success. He has already brilliantly deconstructed the posting, in his usual witty way. Allow me to add my own thoughts.
(Read: destruction of state of Israel)The Rachel Corrie Banner Project is fulfilling its commitment to demonstrate on the 16th of every month for the cause of justice and equal rights for the Palestinian people, including the right to return of all the Palestinian refugees to their ancestral homeland of Palestine-Israel.
And it makes me feel good to know that only nine numbskulls attended this “successful” rally, including this person who can’t even spell “participate.”The third Rachel Corrie Banner Project demonstration that took place at Union Square on Saturday, August 16th, was deemed a success even though only nine demonstratorsparpticipated on the gloriously sunny summer day. Demonstrators felt good just to be able to exercise their freedom of speech and to get their message out to the general public, which is “Stop U.S. Support of Apartheid Israel Now”.
(Read: larger than a paltry nine people)The two, huge, two-sided banners help to not only get the message out loud and clear, but they also make the demonstrations seem larger than life.
A spiritual aviator for Satan’s air force maybe…The images of Rachel Corrie, whom the group reveres as a modern-day Saint for her immense courage and dedication to the cause of justice and equal rights for the Palestinian people which led to her martyrdom on March 16, 2003, adorn the banners. There is the famous photo of her standing in front of the bulldozer that moments later was used to murder her, and the equally famous photo of her with a thoughtful, pensive look, a beige scarf draped around her neck and sunglasses propped on her head, giving her the look of a spiritual aviator.
The chutzpah of the woman!One Zionist passer-by obscenely grabbed his groin and spit on one of the vinyl banners when passing. Another Zionist who claimed to be from Israel shouted an obsenity at the group. Yet another Iraqi-Israeli woman made a big show of tearing up one of the flyers and shouted out that she had family that was wounded in a terrorist attack.
Simple! Now if only the likes of Hamas and Islamic Jihad would change their whole philosophy of only stopping the suicide bombings once there are no more Jews in Israel to bomb.We advised her that if Israel would only transform from a racist, anti-democratic, apartheid regime into a true modern democracy with equal rights for all regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or sex, including for all the Palestinian refugees, then there would be no more suicide bombers.
