Israeli soldiers have depraved “fun” making “Rachel Corrie pancakes”
​

Israeli soldiers had a “fun” time making what they called “Rachel Corrie pancakes.”

Photos of the event were posted on the Facebook page of the “Heritage House,” a settlement in occupied East Jerusalem that houses so-called “lone soldiers,” men recruited from overseas to join the Israeli occupation forces.

Above the photos of young men, some in Israeli army fatigues or apparently carrying guns, is the caption “Afternoon of ‘rachel corrie’ Pancakes and fun!”

Rachel Corrie is the young American woman murdered by an Israeli soldier who crushed her to death with a bulldozer as she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family home in the occupied Gaza Strip on 16 March 2003.

The depraved joke that these men were presumably making is a play on the English idiom “flat as a pancake.” Their celebration and joking about Rachel Corrie’s death is utterly vile and reflects the culture of dehumanization inculcated into Israeli soldiers.

Ben Packer, the director and rabbi of “Heritage House,” hit back at some negative comments about the images, posting this response:

In honor of the all the hate messages from the anti-Israel/Jewish crowd, one of our supporters has pledged $5 towards Israeli settlements (maybe for additional bulldozers) for each additional comment. keep’em coming anti-semites! We love our Israeli soldiers and will not back down in the face of those who attempt to endanger them!

Packer added, “Anti-Israel activists are all in a tizzy about these pictures! makes them even funnier!!!”

The page also appeals for donations “to support our guests and ‘lone soldiers.’” Residents of the “Heritage House” settlement also take part in colonization activities in other parts of the occupied West Bank, including Hebron.

Great way to shoot yourselves in the foot, Israelis. Does wonders for your image in civilized countries (your supporters).

You're joking right? Because black humor is something unique to Israel? Because citizens of other countries are angels and if we monitor their activities on facebook we would never find them making fun of people, including deceased people.

If Israeli image in Europe/world is determined by a few guys at their own home making admittedly tasteless yet harmless jokes, then all I can say is I feel sorry for you guys.

(1) israel shouldn't destroy palestinian homes
(2) israel shouldn't kill peaceful protesters
(3) israelis shouldn't turn (2) into a joke
(4) israelis shouldn't occupy more lands, but rather give some of those country villas they built on palestinian farmland, back to the palestinians.

This is a sick joke. People should be more sensitive.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

they look like druggies

If the news turned out to be true, those kids are mentally ill.

The IDF has seen a lot of issues similar to this, things like nudity and so on.

I think the Palestinian had organized the event in honor of Rachel Corrie.

 

[That Guy]

All of you, quit it.

A girl is dead, have some damn shame.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

her story is very sad....all she was doing was preventing a bulldozer from destroying a privately owned house

i think that following a cooling down of the 2nd intifada, the Palestinians have shown a lot of restraint
