The Other Rachels
A few days ago we commented on the trend among the Moonbatocracy to create pseudo-art celebrating Rachel Corrie, the clueless campus radical who commmitted suicide while trying to prevent Israeli bulldozers from destroying a smuggling tunnel used by the Palestinians in Gaza to smuggle in explosives, weapons, and missiles.
Well, last night, the play "My Name is Rachel Corrie" premiered in London at the prestigious Royal Court Theatre. No mention in the play of Corrie burning US flags or defending suicide bombing.
Well, we thought we would mention some other Rachels who have NOT been similarly commemorated in the London posh theaters yet (with thanks to Tom Gross). Here are the names of some plays that have not yet been produced in London:
1. My Name is Rachel Levy (Israeli girl age 17, blown up in a grocery store)
2. My Name is Rachel Thaler (Israeli girl aged 16, blown up in a pizzeria)
3. My Name is Rachel Levi (Israeli girl aged 19, murdered while waiting for the bus)
4. My Name is Rachel Gavish (killed with her husband and son while at home)
5. My Name is Rachel Charhi (blown up while sitting in a cafe)
6. My Name is Rachel Shabo (murdered with her three sons aged 5, 13 and 6 while sitting at home)
It would be interesting knowing how many of THESE Rachels were murdered with explosives smuggled in through the same tunnels that Rachel Corrie and her ISM pro-terrorist friends were "defending"!

Maybe someone could re-write the song "Richard Corey" by Simon and Garfunkle. The re-write could substitute appropriate details to give the song new meaning and re-title it "Rachel Corrie".
Great idea but it has already been done. See http://silflayhraka.com/archives/000552.html
Version I: They say that Rachel Corrie was a girl of youthful age,
with political impressions that filled her full of rage.
Born into America, she hated her own land,
She had everything a girl could want: beauty, brains, degrees.
But I have something else I see
And I curse the life she’s wasted
and I curse stupidity,
and I wish that I could see,
oh, I wish that I could see,
a point on which we could agree:
Rachel Corrie.
Version II: RACHEL CORRIE
Whenever Rachel Corrie went to town,
We people on the pavement looked her way:
We saw a girl who hated everything,
And one who had an awful lot to say.
And she was always yelling at The Man,
And she was always shrill when she declaimed;
But still she fluttered pulses when she said,
"Imperialist Pigs!"
And other phrases profane and untamed.
And she was rich, yes richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that she was everything
To make us wish we were in her place.
So on we worked, and waited for the day when terrorists would lose, the world be strong.
And Rachel Corrie chose her own impulsive way,
Though Darwinish and terminally wrong.
I think someone should check to see
if Rachel Corrie is related to Prof
Irwin Corrie. Corrie was seen fulminating at a real Professor Radosh at a town hall meeting. He belived that the Rosenbergs were innocent. Fortunately Corrie is just a stage name for Irwin. If it weren't we might be able to find a
biological cause of left wing dementia.
Saw a sickening interview on a CBC,
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (socialist tendencies)news hour program where an aunt ( I believe) of Rachel Corrie was talking about a civil action on her fool niece's behalf - and was she unctious, self righteous, bloated, full of herself and unappetizing.What a waste.
By listing "Rachel"s killed by Palestinian agents, aren't you employing the argument of "moral equivalency" you so often (and correctly) accuse Leftists of doing?
So,
Which lives count in this "culture of life", and which ones don't.
I see never mind.
If it weren't we might be able to find a biological cause of left wing dementia.
Have you ever overlayed a map of areas that consistently vote for leftists onto a map of areas most likely to have a population that grew up eating paint chip dust?
To Publicus:
No, he's not.
The listing is provided to compare the Left's complete devotion to only its pet views against its complete rejection of basic moral and social principals.
Specifically in this case, the point is to show the Left's celebration of Arrogance in support of Evil (Palestinian terrorists - pets of the Left), versus their ignorance or rejection of the Virtue of Innocence (young Israeli girls sipping coffee).
Nothing could be further from arguing moral equivalency, and that is well represented by Plaut's piece.
Only because you asked...
