Post like Al Jazeera
The one-sided approach Denver Post theater critic John Moore took in his article about the death of and subsequent play about Rachel Corrie (“Staging a protest,” Sept. 28) puts the Post on par with the BBC, Al Jazeera and other anti-Israel media that continue to obscure and ignore the facts in favor of propaganda.
It’s apparent that the truth was also a victim here, at the hands of a naive and gullible writer. Shame on the Post for allowing a theater critic to venture into waters in which he is not qualified to swim.
And thank you to Rocky Mountain News media critic Dave Kopel for providing readers with the true facts of this tragedy (“Stories about slain ‘shield’ lacking,” On the Media, Oct. 6).

Facts: Israel murdered 34 US sailors on USS Liberty and seriously injured another 174, in an unprovoked attack in international waters. They got away with "My Bad". They didn't pay the families of those killed and maimed restitution either.
Posted by casualobserver on October 20, 2007 05:22 AMShouldn't we all see the play before we judge how "anti-semitic" it is? I'm surely going to, in order to be more informed when I judge....I'm certain Dave Kopel must have too?

the Rachel Corrie story IS part of the greater Israel situation.
The Liberty incident is America's first betrayal by
Israel. Israeli Zionists will use America with no compulsion to consider any interest other than their own.
Steve Feld,
One sided describes the propaganda that has you blinded to the Israeli(Zionist) actions. Sure if you only see American media reports of Palestinian attacks, it is easy to see that vile Arabs hate Jews more than they love their children. It is easy to see that Israel the only democracy in the region just wants peace, while the Arab is who kills innocent civilians. It is easy to say Israel only wants a postage stamp in an Arab football field.
But it takes the BBC, Al Jazeera and If Americans Knew to show Americans that Israel, wholly subsidized by American tax dollars make life unlivable in the occupied Palestine. IDF rifles shoot Arab children, for target practice, and fun. IDF disciplinary actions include a slap on the back.
IDF rout villages, burn olive groves, and destroy the water wells. The establishment of Jew only roads, capricious checkpoints that delay ambulances carrying Arabs shot by the IDF until the victim bleeds to death, keep Arabs from going to work effectively make life as we know it impossible.
What would you Steve Feld, do if you had Israel doing this to you and your family/neighbors?

Posted by Keith on October 21, 2007 10:42 AMHoly Moly Reality: Well, I disagree with you that Rachel Corrie has anything to do with the 'greater Isreali situation' and I completely disagree that the 'greater Isreali situation' has anything to do with the original letter. As I said, stay focused. Difficult though that may be.
kisses!!!
