    :o :shock:

    i gotta admit i am surprised that all of them are not testifying behind a curtain...

    :clap::clap:

    edit... upon second reading, i misread the posted article...why did the supreme court refuse to hear the appeal? do they fear that the family will attack one of them or pay someone to have them attacked? that said, i am not really surprised by the fact that they refused to hear the appeal...the corries have faced obstacle after obstacle in their search for truth...the family should be allowed to face these men in court..not have them hide behind a curtain like they have been hiding for so long...in our justice system, even when someone is falsely accused they testify in plain view of the victim's family...

    at least one of them will testify in plain view, even if it was only because he had made himself known in that tv interview prior to these proceedings.

    the silence of the hasbarats lately is telling. maybe even getting paid to fight a losing battle is too much.

    You're so right. The only reason I could possibly cut back on my posting here is that in the face of your overwhelmingly persuasive arguments ("I'm right and you're a hasbarat!") I have realized it's a losing battle. It couldn't possibly be that I have better things to do than argue politics endlessly on a Pearl Jam fan site (which has got to be the least important and impactful venue for these discussions).

    Sometimes it's interesting to see what opinion on the fringes looks like. After a while though, it always becomes a little tedious.

    seriously guys, do we have to resort to bickering in a thread that was designed to honor Rachel Corrie's memory? this thread is the only resource that keeps me informed on the happenings with her family's ordeal.

    we fight in every other thread, can't we have ONE THREAD that is civil in nature?

    seriously, please have some fucking respect.

    Gimme, I hear you, I really do. But I don't feel all that respected myself when I'm basically being called a rat. Respect has got to go both ways.

    we all have our opinions on each other. and i will not let that get in my way of having a civil discussion in this thread. this is Rachel's thread. take the accusations and fighting somewhere else. and i am deadly serious about that. have a little respect for a woman who lost her life trying to prevent a crime, and have a little respect for her family who has endured so much pain in order to only get some answers.

    I don't think I've shown any disrespect for Rachel Corrie by standing up for myself.

    I'm also perplexed why you seem to have no problem with others using this thread to insult me, but as soon as I respond it's an issue for you.

    commy made a comment wondering where all of the israeli supporters have gone. you took the bait and replied and allowed it to escalate.

    my original post on the matter went for all of you.

    Except that you posted it only after I had responded (which indicates to me that Commy referring to me as a HasbaRAT didn't warrant your attention), and by framing your post as a response to my message it seemed to me that your comments were really aimed my way.

    So Commy baiting people isn't an issue for you, but people responding to explicit insults directed at them is?

    this is what was said. "the silence of the hasbarats lately is telling. maybe even getting paid to fight a losing battle is too much."

    you chose to take it as a shot at you by saying this "You think people are getting paid to argue with you on this site?!
    :lol::lol::lol::lol: "

    you didn't have to reply with the emoticons, but you did, and by your post i read it as you were looking for a fight. and look what happened. you were not forced to reply in that manner, or even at all.


    i said it goes for everybody. i have said what i wanted to say. now move on.

    Ok, but it just seems to me like there's a bit of a double standard at play.

    "I spent a lot of time writing about the disappointment of discovering, somewhat first-hand, the degree of evil of which we are still capable. I should at least mention that I am also discovering a degree of strength and of basic ability for humans to remain human in the direst of circumstances."
