Rachel Corrie and ISM Links

You may have heard about the incident on the 16th of March in which Rachel Corrie, a member of the International Solidarity Movement, was accidentally killed by an Israeli bulldozer. This group regularly acts as human shields for members of various terrorist organizations and their activities. A friend of mine mentioned that they may be considered mercenaries under international law since they draw a salary and their primary job is to actively interfere with Israeli military operations and protect Palestinian combatants and their activities.

Is this the case?

"Mercenary" may be stretching it, but surely she did not warrant any protective measures by Israel according to international law. Israel was under no obligation to protect her and her death, in law, must be attributed to her own self-placement in a war zone.

A picture caption on March 17 with an article about an American protester who was crushed by an Israeli Army bulldozer in Gaza referred incorrectly to the bulldozer shown. It was one that the protester, Rachel Corrie, had earlier tried to stop from destroying a Palestinian home. It was not the one that killed her.

19 Rachel's friend Alice from ISM on Sept, 11th - I honestly feel that if it had to happen anywhere, I'm glad it happened in America.

18 The ISM's don't realize what kind of society they're defending. An arab woman who does what Alice did, would be executed by her own family. Honor killing it's called.

15 I suspect that the remainder of the photos were staged as well. If the young lady were run over, and backed over, there would be nothing that ever resembled legs as shown in photo #4.

14 These idiots are hypocrites. They accuse the Israelis of being inhuman killers, but then they cynically rely on the Israelis' sense of humanity in expecting them not to run them over with bulldozers.
