A picture of Rachel corrie, before and after she was killed is relevant to a thread about Rachel Corrie's death. If the moderators feel the image violates CC policy than i support its removal.

Doesn't matter now. Your war porn is out there for all to see. You've been exposed yet again you ghoul.

A picture of Rachel Corrie, before and after she was killed is relevant to a thread about Rachel Corrie's death. Its also relevant because ES's erroneous portrayal of the ISM as an armed terrorist organization increases the likelihood that more young idealistic ISM volunteers will share Rachel Corrie's fate.

If ES is going to post information which increases the chances that some ISM volunteers might be harmed, then he should have the balls to take a good look at a possible result of his actions.

I suggest you consider the possible implications to Mr Blurryface's safety if you identify him. Mr Blurryface never hurt anyone. Identifying him might lead to him being physically attacked. Unlike ES, I don't want anyone's blood on my hands.

If he is an undercover agent,and he's been doing this for years,i would guess many palestinians would recognize him,blurred or not he's toast.

I'm curious, ES. How would you feel if you found out that an IDF soldier saw an ISM member waving an ISM banner and shot and killed them, because they believed the ISM is an armed terrorist organization. Would you feel any guilt or remorse for the part you played in promoting an erroneous perception of the ISM which contributed to the decision to kill an unarmed, idealistic young person whose bright future was cut short by an IDF soldier's misperception of what the ISM is and what they do?

Perhaps, but I would not want to be a contributor to any violent action against anyone, especially someone who appears to have not acted violently against anyone.

WAR PORN... plain and simple. Once again your credibility is shot. Your ghoulish nature is there for all to see.

And your blaming me for future deaths of ISM members is so pathetic. You do nothing but stir up hate for the Joos. That would be like me accusing you for every Israeli that is killed. Do you want to play that game with me EAO? Do you want to go down that silly route?

C'mon EAO... want to play that game with me? Every ISM member killed by the IDF you can blame me and every Israeli killed will be your fault. Let's go. Let's see you cut your nose off to spite your face.

Clearly every Israeli killed is a direct result of your posts here on CC.

You dumb azz. lol

I don't erroneously portray harmless unarmed people as armed terrorists. I only believe in holding war criminals and people who commit crimes against humanity accountable for their actions. I support their arrest, a fair trial and if they are found guilty, then I support an appropriate prison sentence. I do not support the death penalty for anyone. I also do not give Jews, Israelis, Muslims or Palestinians a free pass to commit war crimes or crimes against humanity. A person's religion and/or nationality is beside the point when it comes to holding individuals accountable for their crimes..

He does stir it up dosn,t he, but then every comment in any light other than zionist delight isn,t right for you and your nestling relatives.
Stirring up hate for Israel is easy, all you have to do is spell Israel. Israel painted itself into a corner. I wonder why.

Armed... are they not? In fact... the guy with the AK is holding it pretty darn well. He's ready to rock and roll. All he needs to do is get his finger on the trigger!

No sliding out of it. Every Israeli killed is a direct response to your posts here.

Walked into another one didn't you EAO? LMAO.

Israeli soldier clubs Danish protester with rifle
Denmark demands explanation as video shows apparently unprovoked attack by IDF soldier on activist
Monday 16 April 2012


Israeli soldier assaults foreign protester.

WARNING: This video contains graphic images
Link to this video

Denmark has demanded an explanation from the Israeli government for video footage showing a senior Israeli army officer striking a Danish activist in the face with an M16 rifle, an act which has been sharply criticised by the Israeli prime minister, president and chief of staff.

In the video, Lt Col Shalom Eisner, deputy commander of the Jordan Valley territorial brigade, is clearly seen slamming his rifle into the face of Andreas Ias. There was no obvious reason for the assault in the clip, which was broadcast on Israeli television and posted on YouTube. The soldier was suspended by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) pending an investigation.

The video emerged on the same day as Israel launched a security operation to prevent hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists entering the country en route to the West Bank, claiming they were provocateurs and were planning acts of violence. The assault on the Danish man and the operation to block the entry of Palestinian sympathisers have led to questions about whether Israel's response to activists is excessively heavy-handed....

(Tom Hurndall killed by the IDF in 2003)



Sophie Hurndall
Sophie Hurndall, sister of Tom Hurndall, an ISM activist shot in the head by the Israeli army whilst rescuing Palestinian children.​
"I have been asked to speak at this rally as the sister of Tom Hurndall. As many of you may know Tom was shot while trying to save children from Israeli army fire. While I would emphasise that my family have no political affiliation, what Tom and we discovered during our separate visits to Israel and Gaza has caused us deep concern. I am here today to describe our experiences. My brother Tom was a keen and talented photographer - he was also a caring human being. He travelled to Gaza because he had heard about human rights abuses taking place in the occupied territories and wanted see for himself the way in which Palestinians were living, and to photograph and document what he saw. Tom is now lying in hospital in Israel in a deep coma. His brain has suffered severe damage and the doctors have said he is unlikely to regain consciousness.
In the days before Tom was wounded he sent e-mail's home detailing several incidents he had observed in which civilians had been shot by Israeli soldiers and also a helicopter attack in which 46 civilians were wounded, some of whom later died. Tom had already sent us photographs including one of a boy of about 7 or 8, who posed no threat, being shot from an Israeli tank.
Tom was himself shot as he was trying to help a group of children. Waiting at the end of a street in Rafa, he saw machine gun fire being directed at a mound of earth on which about twenty children were playing. Most of the children fled but three young children were too scared to move, two girls and a boy aged between 5 and 8. Tom walked forward and picked up the little boy, named Salem Baroum. Having brought Salem back to safety he returned for the second child. Tom was shot in the head by a single sniper bullet as he leant forward to pick up the little girl.
The IDF released reports that Tom was armed, clothed in army camouflage and firing at the soldiers. They have also released a report saying he was involved in crossfire. These reports have been reflected in media around the world, especially in Israel These reports are not true. Many of you will have seen photographs of Tom in his fluorescent orange activist's vest. We have photographs of Tom immediately before and after the shooting - from several independent sources. There were over ten eye witness reports of Tom's shooting including the accounts of journalists- all of which support the fact that Tom was fired at with no justification. But what is extraordinary is that to this day, not a single one of these witnesses has been questioned by the IDF or the Israeli authorities. How can any credible inquiry be conducted without questioning them? Indeed some of these witnesses have since been arrested, detained and unlawfully deported.

[SIZE=-1]Israel calls this Self-defence![/SIZE]​
It was clear to all that Tom did not pose a threat to the Israeli army or to anyone else. He was with a humanitarian organisation which was involved in peaceful protest and which was known by the army to be present in the immediate area at the time. He acted in a way which every decent human being should have seen as natural and necessary in going to the aid of a young helpless and desperately vulnerable group of children. Many of us would not have had the courage to do what Tom did. In return for his courage and selfless commitment, he is likely to have paid the ultimate price. Tom is the victim of a direct and deliberate shot to the head. This will be proved by the upcoming Dispatches documentary on Channel 4 tomorrow night at 9.
Our request for an explanation about the shooting is not unreasonable. My parents, my two other brothers and myself, have spent much of the last five weeks at Tom's bedside in Israel, and also in Gaza trying to find answers. In spite of numerous repeated requests during that time, through the British Embassy in Tel Aviv and the media, we have been bluntly refused an explanation from, or any communication with, the Israeli forces. My parents have even been shot at while travelling with British embassy officials in Gaza They have now been refused entry unless they sign a waiver absolving the Israeli army of any responsibility if the army shoots at them as well.
Is that what freedom and democracy are in Israel?
My family is campaigning for an independent, public inquiry into Tom's shooting. Not only for Tom, but because every day Palestinian civilians are maimed and killed by the Israeli army. Tom showed us this through the e-mail's he sent home. Any act of violence - whether by Palestinian or by Israeli - should be subject to prosecution and a fair trial. Yet clearly this is not happening. It is absolutely unacceptable that innocent people continue to be killed or wounded - whether they are journalists, peace activists or other civilians. Yet an Israeli soldier is very unlikely even to be reprimanded for such outrageously heavy-handed tactics.
We cannot stand by silently and allow people like Tom and Rachel, Brian Avery, Iain Hook and James Miller to become such tragic victims. If we don't make a stand to make the Israeli government accountable for its actions, then there will be no end to this terrible loss of life in Palestine.
Help us to exert pressure for proper accountability and an end to this indiscriminate loss of life. Please contact the foreign secretary, Jack Straw, to reinforce our demand for an independent and public inquiry. And please look at our website - www.TomHurndall.co.uk
Help us to make a difference. Thank you."

Gotta love the pic with the "V" for Victory signs. I bet the ISM thinks those are peace signs.

More hate from EAO.

How many times have you posted the same misleading image to create an erroneous impression of the ISM?

Information which accurately describes the ISM's non-violent resistance activities, what they do and who they are is relevant to a thread on Rachel Corrie's death and the ISM.
