Adam Shapiro heading for Lebanon

Adam Shapiro will be leading an ISM convoy of idiots into the war zone. They’re making some kind of statement, but other than they’re idiots, I can’t really think of one.

Can you say, “Moron”? I knew you could.

BEIRUT (Reuters) – International and local activists are planning on Saturday to bring a civilian convoy to southern Lebanon, worst hit by Israel’s 28-day-old war on Hizbollah, to deliver aid and show solidarity with suffering residents.

“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, an American documentary filmmaker and human rights activist, told Reuters.

“If governments are failing to act, we as citizens will.”

Shapiro, 34, is among several activists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a pro-Palestinian group that usually works to bring attention to Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, who have traveled to Lebanon seeking non-violent ways to support local groups protesting the war.

This time, however, the activists will not be facing Israeli soldiers, tanks or bulldozers but aerial bombardment.

One idea they are considering is to bring large numbers of people, rather than a few activists, to the Hizbollah strongholds of south Lebanon or south Beirut to try to protect them or draw attention to the plight of civilians there.

This is not a “peace” group. This is an anti-Israel group.

Lebanon will be the first time the ISM has worked outside the Palestinian territories, though individual activists have been to other war zones such as Iraq as human shields.

Israeli authorities view them as trouble makers and sometimes accuse them of inciting violence.

That’s because they do incite violence. Every Friday, in fact.

“I’m not sure we can be as ambitious as to end the war but certainly we can change the dynamic,” Shapiro said. “In the media this has so far been portrayed as a war between Israel and Hizbollah. Maybe we can change the dynamic so it is seen as what it is, Israel versus all of Lebanon.”

Yes, because of all those Hezbullah rockets that have been landing in Israel. Sure. It’s not a war with Hezbullah. Not at all. They just happen to be the ones standing behind the rockets when they’re launched. Israel’s really coveting all that cedar wood, because you know, it smells so good in your closet.

Shmuck.

You know, Shapiro could get stupider, but not by much.

Say, Lair—time to add “ISM” to your Bingo card. If it’s not already there, that is. Or maybe an “Adam Shapiro” square. Or both.

Hope Shapiro knows how to duck, because I’m guessing he is stupid enough to stand by a Hezbullah rocket launcher to prove his idiotic point.

    Oh, GAWD, not those dumbasses (complete with head dumbass Adam Shapiro) again! They always turn up just when you least need them- which happens to be all the time.

    Why can’t immigration stop them at the airport and put them right back on a plane to the US?

  2. RR says:

    Just realized- they’re going straight to Lebanon. My mistake.

  3. Paul says:

    One wonders if they would do the same for Jews ?

  4. Jack Rich says:

    “Stupid” is not the word for a self-hating Jew like Shapiro. Of course, I’m making an assumption here that Shapriro was born Jewish. Bet his mamma is so proud…

    Evil is a more descriptive word. By all means, Adam, old sod, “bring large numbers of people, rather than a few activists, to the Hizbollah strongholds.” Then your and their heirs can gin up a lovely class action suit against Israel for wrongful death, or some such.

    Solidarity with the poor, suffering people of Lebanon…feh. Maybe they’ll keep him and his fellow useful idiots there, and not pollute the United States.

    The Hizballah terrorists will think nothing of kidnapping ISM-ers and keeping them as sheilds for their arms depots. I would suggest to Israeli intel to mark wherever the ISM-ers stay overnight, and blast it the following day.

    Hizbollah is not stupid enough to think that the IDF would refuse to bomb some place just because these kapo wannabes are there. Maybe Hizbollah will decide to shoot them on the grounds that they are Jews and infidels so have to be exterminated eventually anyway, and here they are, conveniently to hand. Saves the trouble of hunting them down all over the world, as that swine Nasrullah commented recently about aliyah.

    You know it just occurred to me, but calling terrorists swine is an insult to pigs. I vow to eschew the practice from now on.

    I guess Adam Shapiro wants to become the next Rachel Corrie? So nice to see such ambition in action.

  8. Elisson says:

    Yes, by all means – let’s see what happens when Mr. Shapiro is turned into the next Saint Pancake.

    Anyone got a bottle maple syrup mit a hechsher?

  9. Rahel says:

    Elisson, I’m saving my maple syrup for pancakes that won’t give me a bad case of indigestion!
