The two British suicide bombers who blew up a seafront bar in Tel Aviv, killing three people, had posed earlier as peace activists, acting as “human shields” for Palestinians, sources in the Gaza Strip said yesterday. . . .
A Western pro-Palestinian activist said the two later took part in a protest march in Rafah to commemorate Rachel Corrie, an American “human shield” killed by an Israeli bulldozer last March.
At least the story says “pro-Palestinian activist” instead of the manifestly-untrue “peace activist.” And the Israelis have noticed:
Israel will from now on bar pro-Palestinian activists from entering the country and will try to expel at least some of the dozens of activists who are already here, according a new plan drafted by the Israel Defense Forces and the foreign and defense ministries.
Most of the activists, who come from Europe, Canada and the United States, belong to the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).
Yes, and they’re not “peace” activists, they’re just on the other side.
