In Memory Of Rachel Corrie

Ever so often we need reminders as to why this fight is so important for our survival, and our very future as a free people. One of the driving forces behind my being in this fight for the long run has always been for those who have stood up against tyranny, and have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their stand. One person who has paid that ultimate sacrifice is Rachel Corrie.

Rachel Corrie was murdered by the IDF forces back in March, 2003, and to this day the criminal Zionists who have been responsible for her murder have not faced any criminal charges for that heinous action. Their controlled media around the world continues to this day to suppress the truth about her murder, and instead called it an "accident", and even going so far as to blame Rachel herself for her ultimate demise. To avoid the issue about Rachel's murder, the Zionist press has always refused to print anything about it or to allow any discussions about it. It has fallen onto the Bloggers to keep the memories of Rachel alive.

Here is an article that I just came across, thanks to DBS at www.iamthewitness.com, from the Occidental Observer at www.occidentalobserver.net that pays tribute to this very brave woman who died trying to defend the Palestinian cause against Zionist oppression. Here is the article:

Rachel Corrie She Died for Palestine Dr Lasha Darkmoon December 21, 2009 In memory of Rachel Corrie Like all things pure and precious Like holy bread and wine I love the radiant Rachel Who died for Palestine. Beautiful in life ... Beautiful in death ... cut down like a flower of the field Once through a green field drifting In the doldrums of the day Watching ravens peck out lambs’ eyes In their cruel, gloating way: “You take the gun. You shoot. You do what you want.”— Israeli soldier “The Palestinians are beasts walking on two legs.” — Menahim Begin I remembered, I remembered, How those raptors vulturine Seized the land and plagued the people Of historic Palestine. Deir Yassin, April, 1948 ... and elsewhere The Massacre of the Innocents. "We shall have no pity on them until we shall have destroyed their so-called Arab culture, on the ruins of which we shall build our own civilization." — Menachem Begin How the snipers on the rooftops, Armed with Uzis, standing tall, Splash the blood of little children On the weeping classroom walls. How the settlers spit on Christians In the land where Jesus died— And how those who do the spitting Have the world upon their side. "I know Christians who lock themselves indoors during the entire Purim holiday," — Daniel Rossing. How they bulldoze people’s houses Till the roofs crash on their heads And the women lie all broken With their babies in their beds. How the wolfish killers wander Through a vale of endless tears Shooting children in their faces While the world stands by and cheers. How the bright-eyed Rachel Corries Lie in cemeteries dead While the birds of prey grow fatter— And the world just turns its head. Christ, come back and save these children— Put an end to all their pain! Put an end to evil Zion! Palestine, come back again! Palestinian children “The difference between a Jewish soul and the soul of non-Jews is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the soul of cattle.” — Rabbi Kook

NTS Notes: I am reminded again and again about how Rachel Corrie saw the struggles of the Palestinians against oppression and was murdered for standing up for human rights and decency. Thank you, Rachel, for showing us the way!

Here is a great video that I put up a while back, but I want to repeat it again here just to reinforce the reasons why it is important that we expose and fight these criminals:

Let us always remember Rachel Corrie!

More to come
