Vanessa Redgrave says IDF practices infanticide
2004-07-10
Posted by:Dragon Fly

#21  Outraged at the 90% reduction in Jewish civilian casualties resulting from the construction of the 'security fence' the International Judiciary declared that fence an Arab-Rights violation.

Vanessa Redgrave, U.N. "Good will" ambassador explains the methods and targets chosen:

''Any Palestinian schoolchild knows that a Jewish schoolchild can be and is frequently shot in the head -- not in the chest, not in the legs, in the head.''

Certainly this severe reduction in the quota of Jewish schoolchildren claimed by the Palestinian Arabs could cause the population to grow out of control requiring a 'final solution'.

/Sarcasm off

Israeli spokespersons responded:

If there were no terrorism, there would be no fence.

#19  "The barrier is higher than any wall I've seen and even higher than the Berlin Wall," Redgrave said.

-how about the Great Wall? Is it higher then the Great Wall? Can we see the Israeli wall from space?

If only this Commie witch would stick to acting!
She was pretty good as Churchill's wife in The Gathering Storm!

#13  I'm ashamed she's British, but then many 'performers' the world over share her sympathies. I suppose it's 'anything so long as it gets a reaction' behaviour.

#11  Redgrave said the barrier "impedes communications between the Palestinian and Israeli people."

Congratulations, Vanessa. You understand the purpose of a barrier. However:

No mother could possibly be accustomed to the fact that her little girl will go to school "and will sit with her classmates and an Israeli sniper will shoot at a classroom full of Palestinian children who are in their uniforms with their little scarves," she said in Jerusalem. "Any Palestinian mother or schoolchild knows that a schoolchild who is dressed in the uniform can be and is frequently shot in the head -- not in the chest, not in the legs, in the head," she said, according to Jay Bushinsky, who attended the Jerusalem press conference. According to Bushinsky, Redgrave based her horrendous allegation on one of four documentary films produced by UNRWA and screened last month at the world organization's alternate headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, where a conference was held on life in the Palestinian refugee camps. But a query put to UNRWA's spokesperson in the Gaza Strip, Paul McCann, suggested that Redgrave either was dissembling or simply misunderstood. McCann said that one of the productions, Huda's Story, related the story of a Palestinian schoolgirl who was shot in the head in Khan Yunis. McCann pointed out "it was a ricochet," implying that the gunfire was not aimed directly at her head, as Redgrave had implied.

If she actually believes that Israeli snipers would shoot schoolgirls, sat in class, in the head, then she's a complete, irredeemable idiot. If she's repeating the lies of the Palestinian propaganda machine knowing them to be untrue, then she's a malicious anti-Semite trying to incide further hatred towards the Israelis. She must be aware that Palestinian terrorists target innocent Israeli civillians, and that many of their victims are children - for instance the recent quadruple murder of an Israeli mother and her girls, shot by Palestinian men, point-blank through the windows of their gunfire-immobilised car.

It's the latter, of course - she's a despicable apologist of genuine infanticide, herself. She knows whose side she's on, and it's the terrorists'.

#7  Cyber Sarge - they were Jews, they don't count with her.

Vanessa Redgrave has been practicing common-sense-ocide her entire life. I feel sorry for her sister Lynn, who seems from all accounts to be a normal person. Her father Michael must be spinning in his grave.

Another member of the clueless, pampered Left. If she thinks the Palis are so wonderful, wonder why she doesn't move there?

#6  What were her comments on the mom and three daughters that were executed by the Hamas terrorists?

#5  At least she's consistent. I think it was in the 1970s I saw a video of her dancing around in a headscarf, waving an AK, and ranting about Israel. At the time she was considered so wacko that Hollywood wouldn't touch her, which she blamed on the Jews, but someone in the industry said that nobody, no matter what they do, wants to work around a seriously crazy person if they can avoid it.

"Hamas calling Civilians. BOOM!"
