"Peace" activists gone wild

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Then there's Dan Frazier, an anti-war huckster in Arizona selling T-shirts with the names of fallen soldiers, including Marine Cpl. Scott Michael Vincent, who was killed by a suicide bomber two years ago. The peace-loving Frazier demonstrated his "feisty" pacifist "spirit" by ignoring Vincent's mother's pleas to remove her son's name.

Want another dose? Earlier this month, a New Zealand peace activist and former Green Party candidate who served as a "human shield" for Saddam Hussein in 2003 was charged with assaulting a teen-age rock singer in London. Peace-loving Christiaan Briggs reportedly harassed the boy's girlfriend and then knocked the boy to the ground. Briggs ran off laughing before turning himself in to police. The victim had to have part of his skull removed and only days ago awoke from a coma.

Announcing his decision to take a stand for peace three years ago, Briggs preached: "'You must be the change you wish to see in the world.' But here in lies the twist. The change I wish to see is not simply that of countless Iraqi lives spared, but that of possibly inspiring just a small group of people I know; my family, friends, and community, illustrating to them an unbelievably important and simple lesson I learnt recently: Wanna be happy? Just centre your life around making others happy."

By sending them into unconsciousness. Saddam would approve.

Meanwhile, at a peace rally in Boston convened by the Muslim American Society, a Jewish man who attended with a video camera was threatened verbally and physically by hostile demonstrators. Seva Brodsky was accosted by pro-Hezbollah thugs who grabbed him, cursed at him and attempted to prevent him from filming the terrorist sympathizers. It was caught on tape and posted at the Solomonia.com blog this weekend. A rally marshal apathetically told Brodsky: "We cannot guarantee your safety."

If the "peace" activists gone wild had an iota of the same anger, contempt and callousness toward the jihadists as they do toward us, we'd be a lot closer to achieving the peace they love to preach.

Again, with the moral equivalency? Saying any innocent human being deserves to die is absolutely unthinkable in my book. I don't know who made the alleged post you quoted, but such people are not true conservatives. But to compare the murders of a suburban family to the deaths of people in a war zone is utterly ridiculous.

The UN observers who were killed did not deserve to die, but they should have expected to die. They stood and watched as hezbollah thugs set up THREE METERS from their post and launched rockets at non-military targets in Israel. They were being used as cover by hezbollah terrorists, just like the civilians in Tyre and other cities in Lebanon - a tactic that has proven itself to be win-win for the terrorists: Hide among civilians/other non-military targets and launch multiple attacks. Israel will either disregard the attacks because of the number of civilian casualties that would be caused, thus leaving the terrorists to continue attacking. Or Israel will attack sending the terrorists to paradise and their 72 virgins and giving the terrorists a beautiful picture of "disproportionate Israeli retaliation" to put all over the evening news.

The strategy has worked.

It worked on you.
