Cindy Sheehan: "Get Israel out of Palestine"

Update: The Crawford Peace House mentioned below has removed the photos and text showing their anti semitic stand regarding Israel. A snapshot of the page before it was sanitized is here.

For the ever shrinking number of people who are not Bush haters but still have any sympathy for this Sheehan woman, here's her latest statement:

"You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism," Sheehan declares. Earlier, Mrs. Sheehan stated her belief that her son "died for oil."

Just what does Israel have to do with the loss of Mrs. Sheehan's son Casey in Iraq?

The groups promoting Mrs. Sheehan's effort (and using her for fundraising purposes) are a rag tag collection of far left, neo-Marxist organizations who have long opposed Israel and United State's support for it. The Crawford Peace House is the primary organization sponsoring her visit outside the President's ranch. On their web site, they have a photo showing a map in which all of Israel becomes Palestine. While a text document further down the page describes removal of the settlements (which is currently happening) as part of the peace "process" it's clear that just removing settlements from Gaza or the West Bank would not satisfy these radicals.

Will Israeli Gaza Pullout Bring Peace?

This from the San Francisco Chronicle:

Fifteen-year-old Abdel Kareem Mohammed Abu Habel sits in an Israeli prison after he tried and failed to martyr himself last year. Would he do it again? Without a doubt, he says.

Abdel Kareem Mohammed Abu Habel agrees with Israeli critics who say that next week's disengagement from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank will do nothing to stop Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israel.

Sitting in his jail cell in the Sharon Detention Center in central Israel, he also said he would never accept peace with the Jewish state, even if Israel eventually pulled back to its pre-1967 borders, behind the so-called Green Line. He doesn't even know what the Green Line is.

The only peace he wants "is to get back all our lands," meaning the entire state of Israel. "We don't want the Jews on this world," he said.

If you think that the above is merely an extreme example, think again. See Jihad Watch the Middle East Media Reseach Institute for more.

The latest statement by Al Queda #2, Ayman Zawahiri, eerily echoes Mrs. Sheehan's statements:

"Your salvation will only come in your withdrawal from our land, in stopping the robbing of our oil and resources."

See any similarity here between the statements of Mrs. Sheehan, would be boy mass murderer Mohammed and arch terror fiend Zawahiri?

It should be clear that the left, including Mrs. Sheehan, has aligned themselves with this nation's enemies. Like Jane Fonda in her day, they see the United States as the problem. Were they to succeed in forcing a U.S. pullout from the Middle East, the bloodbath wouldn't stop there. It's likely that more Americans will die as the left emboldens terrorists.

Mrs. Sheehan has made a mockery of her son's sacrifice and I have no sympathy left for her.
