Berkely double standard

They should have stayed home in America, where Jews are welcome, even admired. Only in Israel, of all the world's nations, are Jews murdered on a regular basis. As a "haven for Jews" Israel is a dismal failure. Switch to plan B.

In presenting to the City Council a plea to endorse an investigation into the circumstances of the death of Rachel Corrie, we ask that an INDEPEDENT investgation (undertaken by someone other than the party accused of causing her death) take place. In the case of Marla Bennett for example, we know her life was not worth less than Rachel's, but there has been no evidence shown that her killing, in an unlawful attack against civilians, was not already adequately investigated.

My question is this: What in regards to Marla Bennett's death has not already been adequetly investigated? Rachel's parents were specific about what information that has been withheld from them, do Ms. Bennett's parents feel that information has been withheld?

Again, it is not that Rachel's death mattered more than others, it is that her life was not worth any less. And it was Rachel's death that lacks the full transparent investigation that has been promised the Corrie family.

NOBODY would welcome Zionist Jews who are stealing land, killing and oppressing others, simply because they are not Jewish-- so why should Palestinians? More POWER to the Palestinians for sticking up for their inalienable rights! Right on! Any true-blooded American would fight for their rights and their land too. The only trouble is many Americans are completely bamboozled by the Zionist-dominated media and don't have a clue about Zionism and its insidious campaign that is actually anti-all non-Zionists.

As for Marla Bennett, why NOW do the Zionists think to put forth a resolution? Obviously it's just a ploy to confuse.

Marla Bennett was killed in a random attack by a Palestinian suicide bomber (who was also killed, a dual tragedy), not intentially targetted as was Rachel Corrie, a peace activist. The Israelis KNOW who most of the suicide bombers are generally, AND we ALL KNOW how Israel punishes the families of suicide bombers by demolishing their homes, a crime against humanity and against International Law, and performs extrajudicial assassinations killing many innocent civilians in the process. SO INDEED, the death of Marla Bennett did extract a HUGE price from the Palestinians.

But what about the case of Rachel Corrie? Why don't we even know the name of WHO KILLED Rachel Corrie? What IS his name? The Israel government knows but has not released his name. NOR has the Israeli government released its findings from the investigation to the Corries or the US government as promised. NO ONE has been brought to trial for the hideous, deliberate murder of 23 year old Rachel Corrie, a non-violent peace activist.

OUR US tax dollars PAID for the weapon of murder, the two-story Caterpillar bulldozer, and basically pays for the salary of that inhumane Israeli soldier. What is WRONG with this picture?

EVERYTHING! We demand justice for Rachel Corrie.

Look at how justice was achieved for the thrill-seeker, egomaniac Daniel Pearl? They not only found his murderer, but he was brought to trial. And such a BIG DEAL is made about this man who was just looking for a big story, and claimed to want to know "why they hate us?" If he was that ignorant, he had no place even being a journalist. Duh. But justice was served as it should have been to his murderer.

We DEMAND the same justice for American peace activist Rachel Corrie's murderer. It's only fair.

WIndy Wendy: "Marla Bennett was killed in a random attack by a Palestinian suicide bomber (who was also killed, a dual tragedy),"

You're kidding, Windy Wendy -- you consider it a tragedy that this suicide bomber died? Maybe if he hadn't had his buddies wrap him in nail-studded plastic explosive, and if he didn't decide that wanted to kill as many civilians as possible, and that he hadn't demonstrated that he wanted the streets to run with Israeli blood so badly that it meant more to him than life itself, you'd have something approximating a defensible position.

You mean to say that Israel is NOT even investigating the deaths of Zionist *JEWISH* Americans!!? After all the billions of dollars that we've been giving Isreal year after year after year!? I *DEMAND*(!) a resolution *ORDERING* the state of Israel to also investigate the deaths of JEWISH American victims of suicide bombers -- and the bombers too -- in Palestine! I *DEMAND*(!) that, included in the resolution, the Berkeley City Council herewith *CONDEMN* Israel if it does not!!

I *DEMAND*(!) that Israel investigate the deaths of *EVERYONE* who dies a violent death in Israel -- at the hands of soldiers or civilians, settlers or villagers -- for *NO* one life is worth more than another!

If Israel won't at least investigate the *JEWISH* deaths, including former UC Berkeley student Marla Bennet, as well as all other violent deaths, then I *DEMAND*(!!!) that *ALL* U.S. aid to Israel *CEASE* and that *ALL* Israeli products are *BOYCOTTED*!

RIGHT NOW!!
