Hat tip to Pat Curley at Brainster.
In London this evening, the world debut of "The Skies are Weeping," a classical piece inspired by the life of Leftist protester Rachel Corrie was performed. The cantata was written by an Alaskan adjunct professor. Moonbats are everywhere--even in the Last Frontier.
For those unfamiliar with her story, Corrie was a student at Evergreen State University in Olympia, WA. Through the far, far left International Solidarity Movement, Rachel ended up in the Gaza Strip, participating in protests such as this one. That's Rachel front-and-center, burning a crudely drawn American flag.
She should have stayed in school.
Corrie was killed in Gaza in what reasonable people can only conclude what was a tragic accident, as you'll read here. A bulldozer operated by the Israeli Defense Force, ran Corrie over as she attempted to block the massive vehicle. The IDF was there to destroy an alleged terror hideout that was a weapons depot, supplied via tunnels from nearby Egypt.
Since Rachel opposed Israel and died while protesting the Israelis, she is now a martyr for the Left.
From the Jerusalem Post:
More than a year after its intended world debut in Alaska, The Skies are Weeping will debut as part of a two-hour show organized by Deborah Fink, who will also sing the production's soprano role. Written by Philip Munger, an adjunct music lecturer at the University of Alaska at Anchorage, the performance will feature a choir of 16 singers and has attracted endorsements from patrons including outspoken MIT linguistics professor Noam Chomsky, film actress Julie Christie and last month's winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, English playwright Harold Pinter. None of those patrons will be at the show's premiere, Fink said, though the audience will include British MK Clare Short and former MK Jenny Tonge, who ignited controversy last year with remarks about Palestinian suicide bombers that included the statement, "If I had to live in [the Palestinian territories] I might just consider becoming one myself."
Evergreen State College will be back in the news next week. Ward Churchill will be speaking there on Monday.
As for the victims of terrorism? So far, no cantata has been written for the many victims of suicide bombers killed in Israel. And if there was one, you can be assured Noam Chomsky will stay away from it.
