welcome to moral politics i'm your host bill ford and israeli bulldozer crushed rachel corrie to death on march sixteenth two thousand and three she was peacefully protesting demolition of a home in palestine rachel cor symbolized moral opposition to israeli brutality for tens of millions worldwide in a recent seattle times editorial she was crushed again wendy rosen head of the american jewish committee flatten rachel's reputation she described rachel is a noble but deluded and exploited pawn of get this israel haters miss rosen imagines an israel that never demolishes homes or injures protestors predatorial followed closely an israeli one awaited verdict that ruled rachel was guilty of her own death under an israeli themselves what the palestinians have been actually asking for for many years but is there is always that if using the palestinians over many years have been asking the united nations and the world community to bot not be blood of your nation and so she did this is a as a college student it was part of a program where they reached out and joined the international solidarity movement which was there to witness the brutality especially israeli television didn't look like there was any obstruction for them to really clear the only thing that was visible were houses do you feel that the footage we just played is incriminating that we  even have the audio of yes i saw on the driver not knowing whether it was a man or woman but apparently recognizing that did see someone but just callously kept going with all this standoff between them for  palestinians have a lot of me that can fight me out of me which is i think might be the fourth largest military power in the world with a lot of people shared your sympathy because there's a play was dedicated the rosen penned she's the head of the northwest region of american jewish committee and let's describe what was in that particular seattle times editorial no just for a little context this editorial came on the heels of an israeli court verdict ruling that rachel was guilty for her own death under you know a d n i and kind of pillar bulldozer that was about to demolish a home a home that she was actually staying at the home of a doctor in palestine who had three kids and a brother living there when you read windy on rachel from the beginning but when you are afraid that somebody will become a symbol of something that you do you want to destroy so what you do is actually go oh it and then try to put it like i couldn't find them to a specific kind of image so that people always think about them in terms of the image that you try to portray them what jumped out at me again and that was of what you were seeing is well the bulldozer actually was living they growl and there is no demolition of houses because those houses out a fictitious and they could either by by the international sort of the the movement people who just hate israel and there they might even have the people are not supposed to enter a war zone like i said earlier a war zone is supposed to be between two ottomans when we all know that the palestinians the both have a lot of me to start with number two is that even even  it's not content to flatten the reputation of rachel but she goes after the family and the foundation yeah and the family now is also a year of good people who have fallen  victim to the israeli haters and if they win they will be used in order to meet their beautician of is the way back what do you think she was trying to accomplish again i think it's actually laying the foundations for controlling the narrative in the future actually have a allies that the zionist jews have been lying to them all along going after the foundation is it in some way related to the fact that the foundation promotes boycott of israel i think of it i mean main concern is protecting israel our thing in the anti semitism business that's actually how they survive how to have people donate money for you and stuff like that is you go on the subjects like combating anti some of his money but all the all the surveys all the recent ones and all the good which say that you know any sympathy ism is down there's just no evidence of jews prosper it's really kind of hard for these people when they drum up any similar to them to to deal with the american jewish committee writing a pretty ugly editorial on rachel corrie but it's not limited to that she's a serial offender she's gone on and taken classroom to teach this anti israel propaganda even you know bottom line is the president of the evergreen state college just refuses to accept he doesn't acknowledge that it's become a one issue campus that israel has been singled out he refuses to put people who believe their own law well it's impunity over accountability and fairness that there are very few people that even have access to israeli courts and even if they do they never get justice and yeah but  many other israelis jews themselves what a very decent people go on telling us the truth and that's where we can go and use to battle of the never what about rachel's parents making an appeal to the american congress relationship that's what's maybe even examine some of the taxation and treatment that is given some of these over over the top advocacy groups we have like the american jewish comm that can deal legitimize truth and history and we'll know how powerful a pac is and how much of some zionist jews how but isn't that power comes from the fact that well like you said they control the discourse and they happen i'm not so sure that the american jewish committee or is true to being american as they should be but we have to conclude this for our viewers and i want you to tell me what you like people  and then and not focus on the rich and just as a parasite but focus on here as a someone who actually cared enough at the age of twenty three to go to have fully out on the wallet and try to witness for himself what is happening so called israel hater i know that the quakers are are involved or are there other church groups that are involved the way they should be are they sending their volunteers i hope that more and more of them when that w that can we say that the american jewish community is using a bad formula one of racism one of chauvinism one that's really ultimately headed nowhere except me i think i think with more and more people getting to kill old out of some of the muslim women and all that stuff yeah it's unbelievable how most some of those people have become richer corey was trying to push back on all of this excess of zionism you know i'm working with our sister organization the anti defamation league stand with us northwestern the jewish federation and together we have a coalition and we're going to have to take it to the next level
