1. ITS SAFER TO CRITICIZE SUICIDE BOMBING VICTIMS . . . . . .
MOSHE ,   USA   (10.21.06)
THAN SEND ISRAEL YOUR WRONG HEADED IDEALISTS ! SORRY THAT YOUR CHILD DIED. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT YOU WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN PERSUADING HER THAT arab SOCIETY IS THE DEMENTED DISSIDENT OFFENDER & REASON FOR TERRORISM. PLEASE ASK YOUR CHILDREN TO SPEAK OUT ON BEHALF OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE OF ISRAEL & ITS PEACE LOVING JEWISH CITIZENS WHO HAVE LONG AGO SHOWN THEIR WILL FOR PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE WITH THE arabs. MOSHE
2. It's boring already.
Bill Pearlman ,   New Yrok, NY   (10.21.06)
Yes we know it all. The sainted Rachel Corrie was run over by the Zionist Jackboot. And the play was censored by the evil nefarious "LOBBY". And being critical of Israel and Jews is such a brave thing. And the Palestinians are really a bunch of Ghandian quakers who all had a bunch of olive groves and mansions before they hook nosed kike vermin drove them out of their pastoral lands. We've heard it all before. But, what about Rachel Levy, 17 yrs old and blown up in a Jerusalem market. I guess some Rachels are more equal than others.
3. She was not a "human rights campaigner"
Antonio ,   Haifa   (10.21.06)
She was a terrorist-supporter.
4. what kind of debate it's inspier?
Rehavam ,   Haifa   (10.21.06)
Debate on how nice to protect suicide bombers? Debate on "Rachel Corrie - Saddam human shield wannabe"? "invigoratingly detailed portrait of a passionate political idealist in search of a constructive outlet." Exacly the same thing being sad about 911 homocide bombers! Only they also get 72 virgins.
5. EXCLUSIVE PHOTO OF CORRIE
(10.21.06)

6. Let the play go on.....I still think anybody who takes on...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.21.06)
a bulldozer demolishing a terrorist's house will get killed. End of story. And I agree with #2 -- this story is getting boring already and this young girl did die in vein. Sorry to say it to any family that looses a daughter, but its my opinion. Anybody who wants to go see this play in NY that's fine with me....I wouldn't if I lived there.
7. She was a little trash and nothing more than that
Roger ,   USA   (10.21.06)
8. International House Of Pancakes should sponsor it
James Meeker ,   USA   (10.21.06)
They can even offer a "Rachel Corrie Special"; pancakes and beef in a red sauce.
9. To Mr. Trash Roger #7
YOAV ,   TEL-AVIV   (10.21.06)
You have no right to call this hero a trash. I believe people like you are ones who are trashing the world with their sick ideology. It's time for the true torah loving people to acknowledge our mistakes and have some mercy...Mr. Roger the don't think you the have the right to discuss any middle east affairs.. go and find yourself a football game to keep you busy...
10. Passion Play (of sorts)?
Shmuel Addams ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.21.06)
Is the point of this play to elevate yet another vocal character to martyrdom ... of course at the expense of "The Jews"? In any case, seems like ... yet again ... we're the bad guys. I guess having a NY theater production about a suicide bombing victim wouldn't be PC enough.
11. EXCELLENT- will recommend NY friends to go
American ,   USA   (10.21.06)
RACHEL was MURDERED- by some israeli punk. period.
12. Am emailing these talkbacks to play
American ,   USA   (10.21.06)
maybe they can ADD what you jews think about an American being killed by some jews. add it to the end of the play- show the world who you jews REALLY are.
13. isarel is not a democracy
American ,   USA   (10.21.06)
and the FBI and US congress see this now. LOLOL> the American peopl are next.
14. some more "equal"
noemi ,   madrid   (10.21.06)
I am sorry for her parents, but if she had died in suicide attack, nobody will make so much noise about it.
15. She played with fire
Little Miss Muffett ,   Sitting on a Tuffett   (10.22.06)
i feel sorry for her parents. No matter what, they love her. But she played with fire and got burned up. She wasn't the peaceful idealist the article is making her out to be. (Thanks to the person who posted the picture of her from the Litlte Green Footballs web site.) Having said all that, America is a free country, and if someone wants to put on a play about her, fine. We believe in free expression here. Free expression also means I won't be seeing it.
16. To # 11, 12, 13, American bigot
Little Miss Muffett ,   Sitting on a Tuffett   (10.22.06)
What makes you so sure all the posters here are Jews? Do you have some sort of ESP the rest of us lack? oooo, and we are all SO WORRIED about you e-mailing these talkbacks to the play. We shiver in fear.
17. shame
israeli ,   israel   (10.22.06)
it is a shame that a 23-year-old girl had to die, but the truth about ISM is this: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6233 and this: http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/kaplan091406.htm and there is more for whoever is willing to search the net. Parents, teach your children not to play with guns, and not to consort with Palestinian terrorists.
18. this rachel corrie?
esther ,   raanana   (10.22.06)

19. Phony Amerrican; Why are you still using your computer?
Daisy ,   USA   (10.22.06)
You called Israel " a stupid little country" so you should boycott it's products like computers, cellphones, medicines, medical procedures etc. Make your Arab people proud and live like a barbarian like most of them do. And by the way get out of my great country too. http://www.Israel21C.com
20. 12; Your not Ameircan and I'm not Jewish.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.22.06)
Shouldn't you be on the Hamass website talking with your fellow terrorists?
21. Myths and Facts about Rachel Corrie
Albert   (10.22.06)
http://www.rachelswords.org/2006/10/14/rachel-corrie-myths-and-facts/
22. A PLAY in NYC!!!
USA ,   US   (10.22.06)
about the murder of an AMerican peace activists by jews on US welfare- the world is waking up... even America..... tick tock tick tock-- Israel SUX, and the world sees this more everyday everyday.....
23. give it a rest, #22
israeli ,   israel   (10.22.06)
you're so transparent, you're not fooling anyone. Those ISM peace activists are being arrested in their own countries. You're not folling anyone.
24. It was an accident
Dan Kurtzer   (10.22.06)
I heard the tape of the bulldozers conductor; he clearly didn't see her, he told his commanders he was under the impression he hurt somebody with the bulldozer. She was in the wrong place and the wrong moment, and at the end of the day, the responsability of her death belongs to the so called "Solidarity" movement, which supports Palestinian terrorism.
25. unfortunately shalevet pas doesn't get a play...
aaron ,   ra'anana   (10.23.06)
26. SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED...
Yitzchak ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.24.10)
She was there illegally in a forbidden closed off area. Sorry, as an American and Israeli citizen, but more importantly, as a proud Jew, who sees the Moslem outsider as having NO RIGHTS within the Biblical boundaries of Israel, this stupid illegal protester GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED..
27. this play.
miri ,   mia/netanya   (02.26.10)
there will always be arab-lovers. but the jerk produingg this mess is named rickman. not another self-hating Jew. the u.s. is full of them.
