You’d haver a heart of stone not to laugh at the name given to one of the ships the Palestinian sympathisers been using in an attempt to supply Palestinian terrorists:

The delayed Free Gaza Movement’s cargo ship Rachel Corrie yesterday assumed a holding position in the eastern Mediterranean, poised to make a fresh attempt to reach Israeli-blockaded Gaza. …

The Rachel Corrie, which began its voyage in Ireland, was named after a young US woman killed by an Israeli bulldozer demolishing Palestinian homes* in Gaza.

* And no, they weren’t replaced by a development called Corrie Flats 🙂

The original Rachel wasn’t exactly overburdened with brains, as she demonstrated during a pro-terrorist propaganda stunt by standing in front of a Israeli bulldozer whose driver couldn’t see her. As a game of “chicken” it didn’t work out so well, although her family made an amusing attempt to sue the manufacturers of the bulldozer. The Rachel Corrie Memorial Committee of Victoria, showing no sense of irony at all, promptly ‘celebrated’ her life by holding a fundraising pancake breakfast at a Denny’s Restaurant.

But at least Saint Pancake’s pointlessly wasted life has been an enduring inspiration to her fellow travellers. Unfortunately for them, they are up against an IDF that knows just how to deal with their ship:
