It seems that the International Solidarity Movement's founder, Huwaida Arraf, done went and got herself arrested. She joins her friends from the ISM who have been detained for trying to enter the "palestinian" settlements in order to support the terrorists. The ignoramuses who hang on every word from the terror supporting group are asking all of their 'people' to call the Israeli Ministry of the Interior, the US State Department and their reps in Congress to demand her release. The least I think we can do is call those same people and ask nicely that they lose the key to her cell.
"Huwaida began negotiating with soldiers to secure the release of 2 Palestinian men who had been detained in the sun with their hands tied behind their backs for over 3 hours. One of the men has a bad back and was detained while trying to cross the checkpoint on his way to an appointment with a physician. While Huwaida was negotiating with the soldiers a 3rd Palestinian man trying to cross the checkpoint was threatened by soldiers who held a gun to his head. Huwaida tried to negotiate with the soldiers over the treatment of the Palestinian man and was arrested. She was interrogated at Huwara Military Base and later taken to Ariel Police station where she was placed under arrest."
Oh no, the IDF doing their job! You know, checking to make sure no one who has a vest made of nails & C-4 gets through. Oh, the horror.
More like, 'Oh the propaganda'. How much you want to bet she made physical contact with at least one of the soldiers and the started in with verbal abuse? I've got $20 that says she did. They knew who she was and the hell that would fall upon them if anything 'untold' happened to her. Whatever she did (that wasn't mentioned) was most likely taken farther than even you or I American white boys could get away with.
If Arraf actually cared about the 'plight' of the 'palestinian' people she would help the IDF hunt down the persons they are looking for. Then, the terror would stop and the checkpoints would go away. But noooooo, she just demands things. Like freedom of movement in the midst of terrorism and free land that has been developed by the Israelis. Arraf is probably sorry they didn't martyr her. St. Rachel is still getting lots of press.
Speaking of "The Corriegated One', head on over to the ISM site and click on the "Lobby for Rachel" line. It will take you to a list of people to contact to get the US involved in an investigation of the Corrie squishing. A large number of these folks are also on the other list. So let's kill two birds with one stone here.
Even if we did go over and investigate this, once we came to obvious conclusion (that she was not smart enough to realize that diving under a bulldozer was fatal), they will only accuse the US of covering up the 'murder' of it's own citizen to help 'the jews'. So why bother.
Unless, in the process, the ISM morlocks all have conniptions and keel over.

Help the Palestinians by helping the IDF?
You seem to forget that Israel has no interest in an independent Palestine, and will do anything it has to to stop it.
Posted by: harmonia on June 19, 2003 07:01 AMOoops Har, I think you got the names of the parties mixed up there. The "palestinians" have no interest in an "Independant Palestine". At least as long as a Jew still lives on this earth.
Posted by: analog kid on June 19, 2003 07:28 AMNo ak, I am afraid it is you who is confused.
This is an interesting article from an Israeli paper (although if it makes you feel better you can still call them anti-semetic)
Posted by: harmonia on June 19, 2003 07:53 AMGeez, that wasn't biased at all.
So which Jews are really at fault here har? Is it Sharon, the IDF or the settlers? Or is it all of the Jews who won't capitulate to "palestinian" terrorism?
Pull your head out. Have you forgotton who got up and walked out of the talks, both this time and in 1999-2000?
And are you forgetting who said "From the river to the sea!"
I'll give you a hint, their name (which they stole) starts with a "p" and ends with an "alistinians".
Posted by: analog kid on June 19, 2003 08:15 AMIt'san Israelu View AK, you saying they dont know what their government thinks?
Posted by: harmonia on June 19, 2003 11:25 AMSuuuure, just like you know exactly what Blair is thinking right this very minute,........so what Tony having for lunch today?
Not like newspapers (especially opposition ones), don't have an interest in distorting the facts to get their boy elected. You live with the British press and didn't know that?
Posted by: puggs on June 19, 2003 11:54 AMThat article's 'Israeli' view is like using the NYT to tell you what my 'view' is.
Try again.
Posted by: analog kid on June 19, 2003 07:05 PMI realize that the idea of a newspaper disagreeing with what the majority has to say may be a foreign idea to you, har, seeing as you seem to loooove anything muslim. Where the idea of a free press is as foreign as you being a woman being able to say what you want.
So why don't you just act like a muslim woman. Get the drift.
