Rachel Corrie, Snuff Film Star for the International Solidarity Movement

[Winged Hussar]

International Solidarity Movement's highest priority was to take pictures of her death

WANTED: Young, attractive, idealistic female college student to star in a movie about Zionazi oppression of the downtrodden Palestinian people. Acting skills are not particularly important because "if some of these foreign volunteers get shot or even killed, then the international media will sit up and take notice" (George Rishmawi, International Solidarity Movement leader).

We cannot prove that the International Solidarity Movement actually recruited Rachel Corrie with the intention of making her the star in a snuff film but, when the opportunity to do so arose, the ISM jumped on it the way rats swarm over cheese. "Making of a Martyr" reports that the highest priority of ISM activist Joseph Smith (aka Joseph Carr?) was to take pictures of this young woman being run over by a slowly-moving bulldozer instead of attempting to pull her out of its path as any able-bodied man could probably have done before it was too late. Unfortunately for Rachel Corrie, and her parents Craig and Cindy Corrie, no men--at least in the terms that society once defined men--were present at the scene.

Her lib parents are also partially to blame.

Are they paying a flat fee for the role?

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

I dozed thru the film and that’s no bull.

[dcwusmc]

Cash up front no less...

Will this job land her on the Red Carpet or get her a job as a red carpet?

I'll give it 3 Pancakes............

This is a crushing story.

“In Rafah, Arafat’s political party Fatah held a wake for ‘Retchell Corie’, attended by representatives of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs brigade”,

...how nice. “Retchell” should’ve been tried and hanged for treason. Conveniently, she made a decision that took care of things on their own.

Yes, the check for her flat fee was mailed flat-rate to her home.

Hey, don't let that stop you.

Sort of like the way anybody with a pancake joke jumps on this thread?

I can’t stop laughing! So good!

[FrdmLvr]

I love these Rachel Corrie threads!

I suppose there is no point in shooting it in 3-D.

People who spend time creating these types of graphic images need professional counseling...it really is a cry for help.

This is a crushing story.

I left me feeling flat.
