Rachel Corrie's memory and Israel's image : Comments

By Neve Gordon, published 23/3/2010

Israel: when social justice activists like Rachel Corrie are branded terrorists then something is terribly wrong.

Neve, There is no doubt that the most hated country in the world, that is Israel, has spent a fortune trying to clean up its image and to direct attention away from its shortcomings, albeit an impossible task.
The story of Rachel will never be forgotten by anyone with the interests of human beings, not just Palestinians, at heart.
Be assured that this will not change.
The total arrogance of Israel will eventually be its undoing and the hole they are digging for themselves will eventually engulf them and by that time, no person anywhere in the world, other than Jews, will shed a tear. Right at this point in time, their main support comes from the supporters of the inisidious Israeli funded organisation, AIPAC who have corrupted most of the weak elected politicians in the US through electoral contributions, graft and press support to shore up their control of US foreign policy without which they would perish. Right at this time Neve, as you would know, their intransigence is being tested even in the timid US administration peppered as it is with Zionist supporters and people like Clinton who owe their very existence to her New York Jewish masters.
Even here, the infiltration by such groups is growing as evidenced by the totally superfluous attendance by Gillard and her staff at some ridiculous education conference in Israel, indicating her compliance in some way with their objectives. This is how they work.
So the world will watch the charade in Israel. a court case for Rachel but at the same time, knowing the make-up and evil characteristics of the Zionist beast and expecting in the end the Israeli speciality, bare-faced lies, even more arrogance and eventual whitewash.
One more nail in their eventual coffin.

Something like 30 or 40 years ago, Arabs living in the region near Israel called for "driving the Jews into the sea". An understandable reaction to having some of their land given to the Zionists by the UN, plus first hand experience of what their new neighbours were like.

But we in the West failed to heed the Arab call, refused to believe that establishing Israel where it was not wanted, on land already occupied by others was a big mistake. The wars which followed and today's atrocities committed by Israel are a direct result of that, and still the West has no idea of how to clean up the mess it has created.
