Rachel Corrie She Died for Palestine Dr Lasha Darkmoon December 21, 2009 In memory of Rachel Corrie Like all things pure and precious Like holy bread and wine I love the radiant Rachel Who died for Palestine.
Beautiful in life ... Beautiful in death
... cut down like a flower of the field
Once through a green field drifting In the doldrums of the day Watching ravens peck out lambs' eyes In their cruel, gloating way:
"You take the gun. You shoot. You do what you want."— Israeli soldier "The Palestinians are beasts walking on two legs." — Menahim Begin I remembered, I remembered, How those raptors vulturine Seized the land and plagued the people Of historic Palestine.
Deir Yassin, April, 1948
... and elsewhere
The Massacre of the Innocents. "We shall have no pity on them until we shall have destroyed their so-called Arab culture, on the ruins of which we shall build our own civilization." —Menachem Begin How the snipers on the rooftops, Armed with Uzis, standing tall, Splash the blood of little children On the weeping classroom walls.
How the settlers spit on Christians In the land where Jesus died— And how those who do the spitting Have the world upon their side.
"I know Christians who lock themselves indoors during the entire Purim holiday," — Daniel Rossing. How they bulldoze people's houses Till the roofs crash on their heads And the women lie all broken With their babies in their beds.
How the wolfish killers wander Through a vale of endless tears Shooting children in their faces While the world stands by and cheers.
How the bright-eyed Rachel Corries Lie in cemeteries dead While the birds of prey grow fatter— And the world just turns its head.
Christ, come back and save these children— Put an end to all their pain! Put an end to evil Zion! Palestine, come back again!
Palestinian children "The difference between a Jewish soul and the soul of non-Jews is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the soul of cattle." |

Debating the Holocaust: A New Look at Both Sides By Thomas Dalton
In this remarkable, balanced book, the author skillfully reviews and compares "traditional" and "revisionist" views on the "The Holocaust."
On one side is the traditional, orthodox view -- six million Jewish casualties, gas chambers, cremation ovens, mass graves, and thousands of witnesses. On the other is the view of a small band of skeptical writers and researchers, often unfairly labeled "deniers," who contend that the public has been gravely misled about this emotion-laden chapter of history.
The author establishes that the arguments and findings of revisionist scholars are substantive, and deserve serious consideration. He points out, for example, that even the eminent Jewish Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg acknowledged that there was no budget, plan or order by Hitler for a World War II program to exterminate Europe's Jews.
This book is especially relevant right now, as "Holocaust deniers" are routinely and harshly punished for their "blasphemy," and as growing numbers of people regard the standard, Hollywoodized "Holocaust" narrative with mounting suspicion and distrust.
The author of this book, who writes under the pen name of "Thomas Dalton," is an American scholar who holds a doctoral degree from a major US university.
This is no peripheral debate between arcane views of some obscure aspect of twentieth century history. Instead, this is a clash with profound social-political implications regarding freedom of speech and press, the manipulation of public opinion, how our cultural life is shaped, and how power is wielded in our society.
