Kesher Talk

Naive tool / duplicitous terrorist sympathizer Dept. The religion/spirituality site BeliefNet has a whole section devoted to Rachel Corrie, most of it repeating the falsehoods about how she was killed and what she was doing.

The essay that really turns my stomach is that of Starhawk, a born-and-raised-Jewish Wiccan leader who bills herself as a teacher of non-violence techniques of activism, yet she writes approvingly and with no criticism of the Palestinian cult of shaheed. She claims to be "teaching nonviolence techniques to peace activists of both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," yet not once does she mention the innocent Israeli victims of suicide bombings. She says she is "working with the International Solidarity Movement to protect civilians" yet doesn't mention how her group sheltered a known terrorist from the IDF. (You can also read this essay on her website.)
