Zionism tries to:
blame the victim.
Rachel Corrie
While growing numbers of people are deeply saddened at Rachel Corrie's death, numerous people throughout the US know little or nothing about it. In addition, as with the USS Liberty, there has been a concerted effort to falsify the circumstances and to blame the victim. We have done our best to supply thorough information on this tragedy.
Nonviolence Movement of Palestinians and Israelis:
Are met with vicious Zionist violence
In addition to a vigorous Palestinian nonviolence movement, there are growing numbers of Israeli groups also working toward peace. These Palestinian and Israeli peace workers and human rights advocates deserve to have their principled and often courageous activities reported to Americans, yet this rarely occurs. (See our AP report for evidence.) We report on these in our list of the wide variety of groups working toward peace and justice.
Israeli forces have shot and viciously beaten some of these Israelis; killed and injured a number of international peace activists (for example, Tom Hurndall, James Miller, Brian Avery, Tristan Anderson, Tove Johansson , Chris Brown and Kim Lamberty; and killed, maimed and tortured a multitude of Palestinians engaged in nonviolent activities.
Swedish 19-year-old Tove Johansson was
attacked while the Israeli military stood by. Chanting:
"We killed Jesus, we'll kill you too,"
members of the mob broke her cheekbone and spat on her.
This is truly unfortunate, but a great cause for which to fight for. Did you see the recent program on Al Jazeera talking about the village of Budrus and the film that was made? Really an amazing story.
