JERUSALEM (AP) — An American educator who marched for civil rights in the 1960s and advocated coexistence between Muslims and Jews when he moved to Israel died Tuesday after succumbing to wounds sustained in a Palestinian attack on a bus in Jerusalem two weeks ago.

It was one of many attacks in a month of violence triggered in part over Palestinian allegations of Israel changing long standing agreements at Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, charges Israel has strongly denied and said amount to incitement to violence.

Also known around these parts as ‘St. Pancake’.

She liked to burn mock American flags and hate on Israel.

She also got in front of a bulldozer, armored bulldozer with limited range of vision, while it was bulldozing the house of a terrorist who killed a bunch of people in Israel.

She was posthumously lionized by career-terrorist Yasser Arafat who presented a painting to her idiot parents.

Sidle up with terrorists, win stupid prizes.

Rachel Corrie is the patron saint of The Evergreen College, WA Ihop... Her trophy is a gold plated Tonka bulldozer on a stack of kosher pancakes...

At the age of 76 one would think he ought to have known better, apparently not.

This type of mentality, that’s the sort who’d walk up to one of the ISIS psychopaths and say “now if we can just sit down and talk, we can work things out”

And then ISIS psychopaths would say “yes” and then cut the head off.

Guess he never got a chance to tell them how much he sympathized with them while they were killing him.

As they used to say, “There’s your sign!”.

Any national of ANY country that rips up their nations flag is a traitor to their nation.

Be it America, Britain, Spain, Germany, New Zealand or Fiji.

I’m hoping that happens more often. The world went to hell when responsibility for ones actions became off limits.

Until we destroy the terrorists they will kill. Better they kill people that help them.

Well, what goes around comes around.
He probably believed that all the problems in the middle east were the fault of the Israelis.
Just as a matter of interest; there is no such thing as a Palestinian, they are just unreconstructed ragheads.
In other words desert nomads who made (and still do) their living raiding, murdering and robbing.

The poor girl was a product of her upbringing. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

I blame the parenting, they’re probably Leftists, this was then the environment that the daughter was brought up in.

I also feel sorry for them, losing their child is awful enough but also in such a bizarre and crazy manner.

That is part of the Leftist thing though, doing anything and the total disregard for taking personal responsibility for ones actions....then blaming someone else.

Indeed. But before they took power in academia and elsewhere, people that darwined themselves like this did however, get lost to history and deservedly so. Today they literally are lionized with shrines, songs and statues.

The parents encouraged her ‘activism. They killed her as sure as the T9 did.

Your kidding, right?
Rachel Corrie was the dumbass (palestinian sympathizer-peace activist) who stood in front of an Israeli bulldozer a few years ago and got squashed like the bug she was.
I guess nobody told her that a person can't be seen when standing directly in front of an 8 ft dozer blade.

There are some of us in Academia who are doing our best to reverse the trend.

I have stood up to Leftist academics at conferences and just told them, they’ve not liked it, but I’ve stood my ground and I’ll NEVER back down and apologise for anything I say.

They don’t like it, I just don’t care.

Yeah, and a tragic one at that.

I view this the same way I view people who think petting lions is a great idea.
