Video Rachel Corrie Killed by Israelis at the Age of 23 Posted on June 4, 2010 by nizaminz | Edit
At the age of 23, Rachel Corrie was full of life. At the age of 23, she was a senior in college ignited by a passion for justice. At the age of 23, she traveled to the Gaza strip as an activist for peace. And, it was at the age of 23 that Rachel Corrie knelt to the ground wearing an orange fluorescent jacket as a 9-ton Caterpillar bulldozer came toward her, knocked her down, crushed her with its blade, ran her over, backed up, and ran her over again. At the age of 23, Rachel Corrie was loved by family and friends who would never see her radiant life again. Rachel was killed trying to prevent the demolition of a civilian home by the Israeli army. Thousands of homes had been demolished, and Rachel along with her companions from the International Solidarity Movement were seeking to prevent further destruction. Through non-violence, this group of international activists was following the lead of Palestinians struggling to end the occupation of their lands. Activists such as Rachel lived in Palestinian homes with Palestinian families hoping to help fend off attacks and destruction. They used their bodies to send a clear message of solidarity and resistance spelled in the alphabet of arms and legs, torsos and necks, hands and feet. It is this unmistakably human language that Rachel chose to speak in the face of machines programmed for death and devastation. Rachel Corrie, a true hero was murdered by the State of Israel. Rachel Corrie was killed by the state of Israel, and by its brutal regime that practises not only ‘mass punishment’ but also ‘ethnic cleansing’. The same regime that has displaced over 4 million Palestinians, and killed many thousands. The same regime that has denied the right to self-determination to the Palestinian people. A regime that systematically destroys the lives of innocents every single DAY.

Caterpillar bulldozers have come to symbolise foreign involvement in Israel’s occupation. But should the company be held liable if their products are used to break international law? Bulldozers are the iron fist of the Israeli army, used to destroy Palestinian homes, uproot orchards and build illegal settlements. But it was the death of Rachel Corrie that brought to international attention a campaign to hold the company to account. Now a law suit has been launched accusing Caterpillar of human rights violations. (Inigo Gilmore) Caterpillar bulldozers have come to symbolise foreign involvement in Israel’s occupation.

Friends and family remember the ‘loving spirit’ of Rachel Corrie, the 23-year-old killed by a bulldozer in Gaza while protesting against Israel occupation. KIRO’s Richard Thompson reports. premium content PLAY VIDEO RAFAH, Gaza (CNN) — An Israeli bulldozer killed an American woman Sunday who had been protesting its use to destroy Palestinian houses in Rafah. The woman, Rachel Corrie, 23, of Olympia, Washington, was taken to a hospital, where she died of her injuries. She was a senior at Evergreen State College in Olympia but was not enrolled this quarter, the school said. Since January, she had been working with the Palestinian-led International Solidarity Movement to protest Israeli actions in the occupied territories, said Huwaida Arraf, co-founder of the group. Corrie had recently appeared in a televised mock trial in Gaza in which President Bush was accused of war crimes for his alleged support of Israel’s actions in Gaza. “This morning, when she was killed, she was attempting to prevent the Israeli military from destroying Palestinian civilian homes,” Arraf said. “She was raising her hands and yelling at the bulldozer driver to stop,” Arraf said. “The bulldozer driver paid no attention. … He buried Rachel with dirt, which ended up, obviously, knocking her down. Then he ran over her, and then reversed and ran over her again.” Why US Government always support Israel? Well, the Jewish Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties owned the Fed. They could print dollars to buy companies, media, natural resources (oil, gas, etc) and finance th US Presidential Campaign. That is why the US Presidents serve Israel more than they serve the American people. If you take a look at other Financial Institutions such as IMF and World Bank, well the first leaders of both institutions are Jewish, so with the current leaders now. The Jews found them. They control the world money and the politicians who need the money for their campaign. http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/16/rafah.death/index.html http://www.zcommunications.org/rachel-full-of-life-by-brooks-berndt http://www.rachelcorrie.org === Belajar Islam sesuai Al Qur'an dan Hadits http://media-islam.or.id Milis Ekonomi Nasional: ekonomi-nasional-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Belajar Islam via SMS: http://media-islam.or.id/2008/01/14/dakwah-syiar-islam-lewat-sms-mobile-phone
