We took them completely by surprise," says Kristen Schurr, an activist from New York City, who adds that she did not notice any shots fired at the group.I'm laughing like a madman.
Listen, Kristen. Had the IDF fired at you (not more or less in some general direction, for the sake of making noise -- i.e. like your pallie friends), you'd have noticed, however briefly.
The International Solidarity Movement is a growing movement of Palestinian and international activists working to raise awareness of the Palestinian struggle for freedom and an end to Israeli occupation. We utilize non-violent, direct-action methods of resistance to confront and challenge the illegal Israeli occupation forces and policies.
Gee, what a surprise, but they forgot to add to the list of their activities, practicing farcical comedy.
"Did the IDF fire shots at you?" is answered by Yes or No. Not by "I didn't notice"!
But hey, my hat is off to a deaf & blind girl like Kristen who took such risks in spite of her handicap, and was still able to conduct a phone interview afterward.
If there's a God of Comedy this will be the one and only Robert Fisk.
