Remember Rachel Corrie
January 31st, 2008
On March 16, it will be 5 years since American nonviolent activist Rachel Corrie was deliberately run over by a bulldozer as she tried to prevent Israeli destruction of Palestinian homes. Anti-Palestinain forces in the US have tried to destroy the memory of Rachel Corrie, just as they have tried to get the world to turn away from the suffering of millions of Palestinians. Thanks to YouTube, here is a memorial for this martyr for peace:
