Rachel Corrie Memorial

http://www.sevenoaksmag.com/features/rachelcorrie.html
Two days after Rachel Corrie was crushed by an Israeli military bulldozer while trying to protect a Palestinian home from demolition on March 16 2003, her friends and colleagues gathered to remember her on the spot she was killed in Rafah, Gaza Strip. This is a video record of that event, flimed by members of ISM Vancouver.

But Rachel would be the first to say that her death was not exceptional, and that we must also remember each of the 3262 Palestinian civilians killed in the Gaza Strip by Israel's Occupation Forces since September 2000 (including more than 600 children) as documented by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza http://www.pchrgaza.org .

While Rachel's death caused headlines around the world, no one outside Rafah heard about the killing of Samir, also on March 16, 2003. He was shot on his porch by an Israeli sniper when he went outside after dinner to have a cigarette. Samir was a city street cleaner who supported his entire family in a region with more than 60% unemployment. Samir's shaheed (martyr) ceremony took place at his very modest house with family and a few friends. His elderly father was clutching his broken heart in despair and his sister was in a numb state of shock. Samir has become just another forgotten statistic among the thousands of Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli occupation forces.

Rachel chose to become a "martyr" by walking into a WAR ZONE

Rachel chose to stand in front of a MILITARY TANK in middle of a war!

Rachel Corrie joined the Palestinians strap BOMBS on LITTLE CHILDREN and blow up Israelis while they attend weddings+birthday parties.

Rachel Corrie felt that the Palestinian have the right to murder Israelis while they eat Pizza!

Just like so many Muslims agree that it was good to murder 3,000 American Infidels on 911

Palestinians are responsible for this war

Rachel Corrie is responsible for her destiny as she chose to move from Europe into a War Zone! A War Zone that that the Palestinian Hamas people have chosen based on the financial backing they receive from the UN, EU, and US, and the indoctrination they receive from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Rachel Corrie joined the child bomb strapping Palestinians, who cheered in their streets when 3,000 American were murdered on 9/11 by 19 Islamists.

@SuperMookman the media doesn't tell the truth... she went there to see the reality for herself .

• Yes, it is time for Israelis to realize that if they want international acceptance and "legitimacy" they will have to take a hard line against the illegal settlements & settlers. Time to end ethnicism- racism's evil twin.

There is a bit of untidiness confronting the settlers on the question of Thou Shalt Not Kill, Thou Shalt Not Steal and Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbors house.

No one should or can deny that given Israel’s terrorist, murderous, and ethnic cleansing past and present that it is without a doubt the greatest threat and evil to world peace. That is a fact brought out by many polls not least of which is the Eurobarometer Poll in 2003 conducted in 15 European nations where Israel was deemed the greatest threat to world peace, even greater than Iran or North Korea. (Washington Post, Jan 30, 2005)

allah calls you to war for him in The Generous Koran many many times - The Great God protects His People and those who follow Him - be warned

[SuperMookman]

The man in the bulldozer is in the middle of a warzone surrounded by thousands of Hamas Palestinians who have been murdering people, babies, boys and girls, just like him for a hundrerd and more years.

Unless Rachel Corrie was retarted, in which case its her parents responsibility for her situation, Rachel Corrie made a choice to "martyr" herself just like all her other Palestinian Hamas buddies indoctrinate their kids to do.

Just like the Saudi Arabia 19 hijackers "martyr"d themselves on 9/11

@SuperMookman first of all FUCK U...and rachel corrie is responsible for her choice to go but what about the man in the bulldozer wasnt he responsible for taking her life away, and whos responsible for the war anyways, if u could read ur history u dumb motherfucker u would know that a plane crash into a steel building does not produce enough heat to melt steel in the first place.

every man is responsible for his own actions and sometimes actions effect other people.
