[Marxism] Defend the memory of Rachel Corrie

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Blogger KOS (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/1/13/221532/072) has alerted
us to the following piece of despicable "journalism" running on the Wall
Street Journal online editorial page
(http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110004551), under the byline of
James Taranto:

"A Well-Deserved Award

Little Green Footballs [a right-wing blog] has given out its second annual
Robert Fisk Award for Idiotarian of the Year. This year's winner: Rachel
Corrie, the terror advocate who died in a bulldozer accident last March."

To remember Rachel Corrie as she should be remembered, go here
(http://www.rachelcorrie.org/). To be reminded of the horrendous crime
committed by the Israeli government against this peace activist, go here
(http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article1248.shtml). Just so we're all
clear, Rachel Corrie did not "die" in a bulldozer "accident." Rachel Corrie
was murdered by an Israeli Army bulldozer, deliberately and knowingly driven
over her by an Israeli soldier. Hopefully it also goes without saying that
she was not a terror "advocate," but someone committed to the peaceful
defense of the rights of Palestinians.

Right-wing attacks on Rachel Corrie (in various blogs, etc.) are all too
common, but unavoidable. Repeating such despicable and slanderous attacks in
a so-called "respectable" organ like the Wall Street Journal is simply
unacceptable. Letters to opinionjournal@xxxxxxx, wsj.ltrs@xxxxxxx, and/or
edit.features@xxxxxxx are suggested to condemn this piece of vile trash.
