UK - Rachel Corrie's tale sways UK theatergoers

Ray Bennett, a Reuters Hollywood reporter, reports on the plays warm reception here in the UK and its rejection in the US.

LONDON (Hollywood Reporter) - One of the most disturbing things about "My Name Is Rachel Corrie," the Royal Court play based on the journals and e-mails of a young American who died in Palestine for no apparent reason, is that it has yet to be seen in the United States.

Wow! I wonder why that could be? To understand that, you have to know what's missing from the al Reuters aticle. Listen to this:

She went to the Palestinian territories with an international goodwill movement, and there she died, crushed by a U.S.-made bulldozer being used by Israeli forces that were knocking down Palestinian homes.

Never mind the lack of context here, notice the phrase "international goodwill movement"? Who might that be? Read this and this and you'll see why al Reuters wanted to cover up Corrie's membership in the ISM.

Even the Arabs have had their fill of the ISM.

While a tragic death, Corrie and the ISM are not the innocents the media portray them to be.
