Rachel Corrie was a child that was used and abused until she was dead.
Her supporters did nothing to protect this child. This is a crime.

Rachel Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She was killed by a Caterpillar D9 armoured bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a protest against the destruction of Palestinian homes by the IDF in the Gaza Strip.[1] The details of the events surrounding Corrie's death are disputed; an Israeli military investigation ruled the death was an accident, while some of the ISM activists present at the scene allege Corrie was run over deliberately. Other witnesses contend the driver lost sight of Corrie before she was fatally injured, or did not see her at all.

[edit] Early life
Raised in Olympia, Washington, Corrie was the daughter of Craig Corrie, an insurance executive, and Cindy Corrie, an amateur flautist.[citation needed] She graduated from Capital High School then attended The Evergreen State College (TESC).[2] She initially joined the Olympia Movement for Justice and Peace then, in her senior year, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Following her graduation, she traveled to the Middle East to participate in ISM-organized demonstrations in Rafah.


[edit] Activities in Gaza
On January 18, 2003, Corrie traveled to the Gaza Strip, where she attended two days of training in non-violent resistance[citation needed] and serving as human shields to impede house demolition in the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.[1] The IDF operation had previously demolished three buildings and several walls in the area.[3] Through February and March, according to ISM activists and e-mails Corrie sent to her family, she took part in a mock trial of George W. Bush; a demonstration as part of the February 15, 2003 anti-war protest against the war in Iraq, where she burned a paper U.S. flag; and helped to occupy the area around local wells, an operation the ISM described as designed to protect the wells and Palestinian workers from the IDF.

In e-mails to her family, Corrie described what she witnessed and expressed her frustration over it.[4] On March 14, 2003 in an interview with the Middle East Broadcasting network, she said: "I feel like I'm witnessing the systematic destruction of a people's ability to survive ... Sometimes I sit down to dinner with people and I realize there is a massive military machine surrounding us, trying to kill the people I'm having dinner with."[1]


[edit] Corrie's death and subsequent

On March 16, 2003, Corrie was in a group of seven ISM activists (three British and four Americans) attempting to disrupt the actions of Israeli bulldozers. After several hours of activity at the site, Corrie sat in the path of a bulldozer, where she was fatally injured. According to an ISM activist, Joseph Smith, Corrie fully expected the bulldozer to stop just in front of her. Smith recounted afterward "We were horribly surprised. They had been careful not to hurt us. They'd always stopped before."[5] Corrie was transported to a Palestinian hospital. Accounts vary as to whether she died at the scene, in the ambulence on the way to the hospital, or at the hospital.[5]

The events surrounding Corrie's death are disputed. ISM eyewitnesses assert that the Israeli soldier driving the bulldozer deliberately ran Corrie over twice while she was acting as a human shield to prevent the demolition of the home of Samir Nasrallah, a local pharmacist.[6][7] The Israeli Government and the IDF denied that version of events and described Corrie's death as an accident. The official Israeli response stated that Corrie was killed by falling debris pushed over by the bulldozer whose driver did not see her, and that the bulldozer was clearing brush and not engaged in a demolition when Corrie blocked its path, while other reports say the Israeli government charged that the house being demolished contained a tunnel used for smuggling weapons from Egypt.[8]

The major points of dispute are whether the bulldozer driver saw Corrie, and whether she died after being hit by the blade or by falling debris, or whether she was crushed under the bulldozer tracks or the blade. In an interview the day after Corrie's death, eyewitness Joseph Smith stated, "The driver lost sight of her."[5] Because the Caterpillar D9 bulldozers have a restricted field of vision with several blind spots, Israeli army regulations normally require that other soldiers assist in directing bulldozer drivers, but the Israeli army commander of the Gaza Strip said in an interview broadcast on Israeli television that, on the day of Corrie's death, soldiers had to stay in their armored vehicles and were not able to direct the bulldozer, or arrest the protesters, because of the threat of Palestinian snipers. He also said that Israeli soldiers may have been handling other ISM activists instead of watching over the bulldozer.[citation needed] In an statement issued the day after Corrie's death, the ISM said that, ``when the bulldozer refused to stop or turn aside she climbed up onto the mound of dirt and rubble being gathered in front of it ... to look directly at the driver who kept on advancing."[9]

"Canuck", I hope I am not too much interrupting your post; however, I do have a question for you. Last evening I was watching 60 Minutes and they had a piece on the Israeli Air Force; nothing really exciting or informative. (In fact rather secretive and uninformative.)

It did discuss Israel's "dangerous neighboor hood", and it said their Air Force was dominant in the region. In most anything I have ever seen or read, there is little doubt that Israel has nuclear weapons. My questions is: Do we know Israel has nuclear weapons? And if they do, where did they get them? ....pjwky

on the beginning from France....When De Gaulle was re-elected
he stopped aiding Israel.
The Israelis turn to USA ,Kennedy was President who refused..also.

Israeli Prime minister Ben Gourion insisted for the aid from US but Kennedy
allways refused.
Ben Gourion sent a letter to Kennedy saying that the security of
Israel was worth more than the life of the US President..
Soon after Kennedy was assassinated and Johnson gave everything to Israel..

Jewish scientists can do anything.

it makes sense...only create ...not killing

They don't kill.

Trolls abound.
