Op-Ed: Who Was Kayla Mueller?
Arutz Sheva ^ | February 11, 2015 | Lee Kaplan

Posted on 08/14/2015 7:55:31 PM PDT by aquila48

The truth of how Kayla Mueller, 26, died may never be discerned. However, despite the sadness at her needless death, the myth that she was wonderful altruistic young woman should be exposed. This is another Rachel Corrie propaganda story in the making, and the western media is falling for it again, or embracing it on purpose.

Kayla Mueller was a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who spent at least two years working with that terrorist support group. She was involved in demonstrations against the Jews in Sheikh Jarrah (part of East Jerusalem) after a 20 year long court decision recognized the Jews' legal rights to homes they were chased from in earlier wars launched by the Arabs. She also participated in demonstrations to interfere with the IDF demolishing the homes of terrorists and suicide bombers after the courts okayed the demolitions.

Sadly, it seems like another case of misplaced compassion.

She's as much a victim of american madrassas (aka schools) indoctrination as ISIS.

Galatians 6:7-8: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

The author, Lee Kaplan, is confusing stupid with evil. Kayla Mueller was stupid, not evil. To brand that poor, stupid, and confused woman as evil is IMHO, deeply offensive.

Speak no ill of the dead. Most people are objective about others, subjective about themselves. But who is willing to listen to criticism, who tries to surround themselves with people more intelligent than themselves, people who will tell them what they don’t know or, frankly, what they don’t particularly relish hearing. We’re all hypocrites, “actors”, but who among us, including me, really knows it. Time to shut up & listen.

I'm sorry, but I'm not following your post #4 at all. Are defending the author, Lee Kaplan, or criticizing him?

For what it's worth, I, for one, am strongly criticizing Kaplan. An idealistic yet ignorant young woman gets murdered by savages. And this Kaplan fellow decides to heap scorn on this victim because she “participated” in some events that he, Kaplan, didn't like.

Ronald Reagan comes to mind.

We’re all hypocrites, “actors”,

You say 'actor' like it's a bad thing.

See Reagan, above...

It is still horrible what happened to her. If you play with fire, you get burned.

It is helpful to tell the truth as a warning to others who might think like she did. This is what can happen. Still she did not deserve what she got and it is tragic.

He didn’t call her evil. Here’s what he said.

“As an ISM activist she was a tool for the worldwide jihad.”

And that’s the absolute truth.

Just like Rachael Corrie, Kayla Mueller chose what she was willing to die for. We should all have something that we are willing to die for.

It is just a shame how worthless it is, the thing that she chose.

Not evil, just stupid.

Sounds like another Rachel Corrie. Wouldnt wish them dead, but the people,who murdered them totally used them to their agendas/ends.

Other anti-Israel , Leftist , Islamo friendly American student activists types should take a good hard look at the fate of Kayla Mueller , before they find a muz b/f and run off to the M.E. to fulfill their Leftie dreams ….
PARENTS ! : take note if your college age girls are getting involved in this anti-Israeli activism stuff . LOOK at Kayla Muller . So sad about her ultimate fate , as it is now coming out , but ultimately it was her permissive Liberal parents fault that she met that kind of fate . It was….they failed their daughter miserably . She should have never been allowed to drift off into Leftist activism . They will have to live with their failing for the rest of their lives. I pray other parents use much more sense . Don’t let your daughters grow up to be Leftist anti-Israel activists !

She chose Che as her false "profit." She chose wrong. When you choose evil, you become evil.

Stupid parents got her there, but in the end she was an adult. She chose her own death. There never has been a moderate Syrian rebel, EVER.
