AUDIO: ISM witness -- this was an intentional murder; the driver knew he was crushing her
Rachel Corrie was in clear view of the Israeli bulldozer driver no matter what else is said. As the bulldozer approached, she knelt in front of it all the while maintaining eye contact with the driver. As it kept coming, she tried to get out of the way but got caught in the dirt and the driver kept going over her for 45 feet! And then it backed up and drove over her again. Her face was nearly ripped off. Her skull and rib cage were crushed....

Alexander Cockburn: Jim Moran and his courage in speaking up against Israeli atrocities
Moran
described an Israeli border policeman beating
an unarmed Palestinian. "The unarmed youth
was held on the ground while police officers
armed with guns and clubs climbed over each
other's backs to land their own blows on his
body," Moran wrote. "Most of the witnesses to
this scene said it happens all the time. When
Israeli police and Palestinians are concerned
there is no justice or fair play. Might makes
right. I witnessed the police laughing and

Pictures of 23 year old ISM activist Rachel Corrie -- crushed by an Israeli bulldozer
Greg Schnabel, 28, from Chicago, said the protesters were in the house of Dr. Samir Masri.
"Rachel was alone in front of the house as we were trying to get them to stop," he said. "She waved for the bulldozer to stop and waved. She fell down and the bulldozer kept going. We yelled 'stop, stop,' and the bulldozer didn't stop at all. It had completely run over her and then it reversed and ran back over her."

Bound By Terror: the Iraq-Palestine Link
How many know that when the "official" war begins, estimates of Iraqi civilian deaths are as high as 250,000 under the planned aerial bombardment of Baghdad because the more people we kill, the lower US and British casualties are likely to be? How many care that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11 attacks against the US? That the average Iraqi had nothing to do with the rise of Saddam Hussein, whose ascent to power was openly supported, even financed, by the United States? ...

Smearing Sy Hersh -- Richard Perle, Ex-patriot?
...the Zionists believe that bad relations between the US and Arab nations is good for Israel. It's no mistake Iraq and Iran were specifically fingered as part of an "axis of evil," nations the Bushites have singled out for invasion and "democratization." Sharon told fellow Zionist and U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton last month he wants Syria and Libya attacked next. As if to make sure he received the correct marching orders, Bolton also met with Foreign Minister ...
