Cindy Sheehan is involved with anti-Israelists
I discovered this very disturbing article from the NY Sun (via Michelle Malkin) that reveals some very interesting things about anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was murdered in Iraq:
This also makes me wonder exactly what kind of mother this Sheehan is. How can she possibly love her son if she's going to involve herself with monsters who'd surely do the exact same thing to her son as the ones in Iraq did? That's not genuine love IMO.

It turns out that the Crawford Peace House Web site includes a photo depicting the entire state of Israel as "Palestine," and it carries a link to a report that when Prime Minister Sharon visited Crawford, the "peace house" greeted him with an "800-foot-long banner containing all of the United Nations resolutions that Israel is in violation of." The Crawford Peace House site also features a photo of Eugene Bird, who has suggested that Israeli intelligence was responsible for the abuses at Abu Ghraib.Update: Opinipundit also finds out and confirms that Sheehan is indeed an anti-semite. (Via The Jawa Report.)
Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, and Military Families Speak Out all have representatives on the steering committee of United for Peace and Justice, an anti-war umbrella group. They share that distinction with the Communist Party USA. UPJ organized the march during the 2004 Republican Convention in New York, at which a New York Sun poll of 253 of the protesters found that fully 67% of those surveyed said they agreed with the statement "Iraqi attacks on American troops occupying Iraq are legitimate resistance." In other words, Ms. Sheehan's "coalition" includes a lot of people who think the persons who killed her son were justified.

“And the other thing I want him to tell me is ‘just what was the noble cause Casey died for?’ Was it freedom and democracy? Bullshit! He died for oil. He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East. We’re not freer here, thanks to your PATRIOT Act. Iraq is not free. You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you’ll stop the terrorism,” she exclaimed.

Thanks, everyone! As to the quote attributed to Mrs. Sheehan, she ought to know that the Arabs usurped the Land of Israel, albeit in the Middle Ages. The name "Palestine" is simply a name that the Roman imperialists gave to the country to wipe out its Jewish identity.
