RACHEL CORRIE

A "Righteous Gentile" if there ever was one!

We will never forget, Forever Palestine - March 16th is the anniversary of Rachel Corrie's death.

Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). She died whilst acting as a human shield to prevent the demolition of the home of local pharmacist Samir Nasrallah. The ISM said she had placed herself between the bulldozer and a wall near Nasrallah's home. Members of the ISM said that she was killed by the Israeli bulldozer and that there was nothing to obscure the driver's view.
Rachel was a student at The Evergreen State College. She had taken a year off to travel to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada.
