GRIEVING ANTI-WAR MOM SHOWS UNAPPEALING BIAS TOWARDS ISRAEL -- The Politicization of Grief?
Iconoclast ^

"You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism."
-- Cindy Sheehan, anti-war protestor in Crawford

The front page of just about every newspaper this weekend noted the anti-war protest of Cindy Sheehan, a very sympathetic figure and mother of a soldier who was killed in Iraq. Not surprisingly, various anti-Bush elements in the U.S. and Canada have jumped on board Ms. Sheehan's protest - casting her and her message as an example of courageous heroism.

In particular, she has been praised and heralded by Democrats such as Joe Trippi (campaign manager for Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean's campaign for President), by Michael Moore, and by organizations such as Democrats.com, MoveOn.org, True Majority, and Democracy for America.

However, take another look at Cindy Sheehan's quote at the top of this commentary. If only it were an aberration. Unfortunately, it represents only a tip of the iceberg of Ms. Sheehan's world-view....

Cindy Sheehan is definitely an anti-semite...next we'll learn she hates dogs, cats and pickup trucks (I hope). We already know she hates America.

Absolutely. That'll make the murderous terrorists back off.

Cindy hates Cindy the most of all. When Casey joined the military, Cindy knew she had lost her war with him. Just reading what her neighbors and family are saying, she really hates Bush, Jews and any thing American.

This is about rejection, hate of ones self and the abuse of a mentally impaired woman by the MSM.

That's a bias against Israel (and Jews).

When is the MSM gonna cover the anti-semitisim within the Democratic party? Check out the recent doings of John Conyers and Cynthia McKinney; these folks hate Jews.

The Sharon government's actions deserve the same critical review as any other government in the world. In the case of the wall, it is building it around Israel thereby making Israelis, as well as Palestinians, prisoners in their own home.

actually, Israelis are "in Jail " since they can't live a life without worrying if the bus or car they will be in will blow up.
or go shopping or to disco or anywhere else and not have to worry if these "poor ,depressed people"from the other side will jump and kill them.
Would you like to live like that? I somehow don't DON"T THINK SO. It's nice to preach from here but go to Israel and see(they don't WANT THE WALL) they want to live in piece.

Where has the wall imprisoned anyone inside their own home?


Where on the anti-Israel Methodist site you cite can I see these persons imprisoned inside their own homes by the wall?

The wall has helped to decrease terrorism rates against Israelis by 95%. Maybe that's the problem for some?

For some people, the only decision to make is whether to blow up Jews or drive them into the sea (gas chambers are SO passé...).
