Human shields going to South Lebanon
Get the bulldozers out! The people who brought you St. Pancake are on their way to Southern Lebanon. On Saturday, a convoy of 'international and local activists' sponsored by the International Solidary Movement is going to southern Lebanon."We hope this will be the first of what will become continuous convoys to show that there are civilians being killed and affected by this war," Adam Shapiro,
"If governments are failing to act, we as citizens will."
According to HaAretz:
One idea they are considering is to bring large numbers of people, rather than a few activists, to the Hezbollah strongholds of south Lebanon or south Beirut to try to protect them or draw attention to the plight of civilians there.This is the first time the ISM has operated outside the disputed territories. I wonder how they plan to get there. I hear Beirut International Airport has a few operational problems these days....
So far, activists who have shown up in Lebanon from the United States and Europe are part of an exploratory group, but Shapiro believes they can attract hundreds more, including from Arab states, once they come up with a strategy.

talk about the deranged left. Fortunately, I am not the parent of such, but if you were, what could you do? You cannot deprogram as that would be considered illegal. You have to watch your f & b make an arse of themselves and possibly get killed at the same time, so deep is their self hate. Pity the Shapiro family.

I refer to them as self-hating or self-loathing Jews.
