1. What a joke
David ,   Israel   (03.29.13)
Why don't we make a bunch of plays of people who were accidentally hit by cars when crossing the road while we are at it?
2. Nauseating to witness Israelis associated with this filth!
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.29.13)
3. Joke
Dan ,   Florida   (03.29.13)
Rachel was an idealistic fool. She found the reality that heavy machinery is mightier than outright stupidity. As a "human rights activist" (what a joke) she should have been fighting FOR ISRAEL. She is dead now and the so-called Palestinians have long forgotten her. She was just grist for their propaganda mill.
4. The prototype of the 'useful idiot!
tiki ,   belgium   (03.29.13)
and far to much attention for this stupid brainwashed girl, '''fighting for the wrong cause and for people who only (mis)used her naivety. Pity that she's not the only one.
5. The true name of movie is "Darwin Award"
2Mad ,   גולה בצרפת   (03.29.13)
6. Rachel Corrie
Reuven ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.29.13)
Does the play show this hate-obsessed women burning the American flag- as she did in real life?
7. That terrorist supporting anti-Semite was
Reuven   (03.29.13)
no "human rigjhts activist."
8. Disgusting !
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (03.29.13)
9. Corrie and Rickman
Jordan Ariel ,   Philadelphia USA   (03.29.13)
I lost all respect for Alan Rickman when i heard about his one sided bias towards Israel, and the creation of this play. And it would be nice if in the Israeli version they had "Rachel" win her very own Darwin award.
10. Perhaps another play called.....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.29.13)
"My Name Is Stupid" a play highlighting the exploits of people that earned "Darwin Awards".
11. This is an example
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Isarel   (03.29.13)
of the degenerate level of morality afflicting alienated Jews. Romancing with evil.
12. so dumb
alsky ,   toronto   (03.29.13)
nothing like fighting for a phony resistance movement and dying for it too !
13. brave!
j ,   isr   (03.29.13)
thank you.
14. Rachel Corrie film
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (03.29.13)
A perfect graphic example of the moral turpitude of Zionism. It is heartening, however, to this great American Christian woman lionized for her martyrdom; ironically under "Israeli" direction. Long live her sacred memory!
15. The vast righteous patriotic Israeli majority must organize.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.29.13)
Israel must protect herself against this sort of hateful, degenerate filth perpetrated against Israel by Jew haters and their leftist Jewish fellow travelers. The vast patriotic Israeli majority must organize so that we can initiate and support positive pro-Israel actions and deliver a harsh immediate response to this type of hideous evil.
16. By far the most objectionable and
Mitzi   (03.29.13)
disgusting part of this piece is the blatant and brazen mischaracterization of this former ISM terrorist accomplice posing as a "human rights activist" described here. Absolutely revolting and blood curdling when there is ample credibler evidence of her pro-terror, pro-Hamas, outright antisemitic activity and tendencies helping out the Mike's Place British-Pakistani murderers responsible for 3 or 4 innocent Israeli lives. I guess the festival organizers are no less antisemites themselves than their pet dead terrorist-supporter and one more person, unmentionable here...
17. leftist intelectuals most dangerous int he world
Tomas ,   NY   (03.29.13)
Leftist intelectuals are the most dangerous people in the world. They supported Stalin, Hitler, Catro. They will do everything in there power to destroy Israel. This include Israeli intelectuals. All of us have to fight them and really destroy them.
18. Rachel
REK ,   USA   (03.29.13)
This naive dupe. She is now the darling of the useful idiots in the liberal western elite left, who see her as a heroine and martyr. I do NOT in any way relish her death. But her family must know she is far more valuable to the Palestinians dead than alive.
19. Don't blame the children
David ,   On this planet   (03.29.13)
Blame the Israeli professors who are filling our children's heads with garbage in the name of free democacy
20. Let it die at the box office
Ron ,   LA   (03.29.13)
RC was a duped useful idiot, nothing more, nothing less. She was never worth my time and certainly not my money.
21. Self hating betrayers
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (03.29.13)
like the dramaturgs of the Kameri Theater, who rejected my excellent drama " HERZL ". I appeal for every israeli to help me to perform this play.
22. Here's the real lesson to be drawn from Corrie's death
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.29.13)
If you associate with terrorists and try to protect their weapons smuggling, don't be surprised if something bad happens to you. The only person responsible for Corrie's death is Corrie. If she's a martyr, it's only to her own stupidity. End of story. Those behind this play are useful idiots to the Palestinian cause, honoring an America-hating and Israel-hating fool for that same cause.
23. #22 Well said
Sidney ,   USA   (03.29.13)
Shame on any Israeli involved with this glorification of a terrorist supporter.
24. Human Rights activist?
k ,   US   (03.29.13)
why do they call her a human rights activist She was a enemy of Israel You need to define her as that
25. Rachel Corrie
Mendy Maierovitz ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.29.13)
How sad to take this biased story and call it culture. Shame on those who funded this and bigger shame on those that promote it. Another new milestone for self hating Jews. Are you sure we didn't use her blood to bake Matzos?
26. This play is anti-Israel incitement
Davidm ,   USA   (03.29.13)
This play is nothing more than anti-Israel incitement and a rewriting of history. It doesn't show the young woman burning an American flag before a frenzied mob nor does it show the rockets firing from Gaza at Sderot. The only redeeming quality is that the writing is poor most of the audience is asleep in fifteen minutes.
27. Any Rachel Corries in Syria?
Marcohoe ,   San Francisco, USA   (03.29.13)
Two Questions: Does the play show how happy her Palestinian handlers were over her death? This was the best result they could have hoped for. Are there any ISM people active in Syria to protect the civilian population?
28. Photo is misleading- NOT a D9 bulldozer
Stephen in New York   (03.29.13)
The photo accompanying the story is misleading. Corrie, while she was defending Hamas smuggling tunnels, was killed by a D9 bulldozer which is 3 times the size of the bulldozer shown in this article. The blade of a D9 is 9 feet high.
29. Corrie play is a gross excuse for stupidity
Steve ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.29.13)
This is another instance of crocodile tears for a woman that burned american flags and showed her discontent for Jews and Israel. It is a tragic accident that far left narrative is used and created by Rickman a man that supports BDS and other anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic groups.
30. Look at the picture of a person in front of a bulldozer
Avi   (03.29.13)
What in the heck is she thinking???
