Life and Death of Rachel Corrie in Video

Rachel Corrie personified everything that is right and decent about the United States of America.

Rachel Corrie in Gaza

(RAFAH, Gaza Strip) - Gilad Atzmon: This video is one of the strongest and clearest messages I have ever come across.

If Israel won't stop itself. Humanity will eventually unite against this disgraceful state!!

Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli military forces Caterpillar bulldozer on 16 March in 2003 while trying to halt the illegal destruction of a Palestinian doctor's home.

And after seven years Rachel's family is still struggling to prosecute the Israeli government, without success.

This video shows Rachel Corrie as a young girl addressing her community and asking them to understand the needs of the poor and the hungry and the oppressed people.

She told them those living in the third world have the same feelings, losses, tears and appreciations, as their western counterparts; those born under more fortunate circumstances. People like Rachel, and she knew that.

The struggle of the Palestinians and Israel's quest to absolutely crush these people who legally owned the land Israel has taken over the last sixty years, is personified in Rachel Corrie, and so is everything that is right and decent about the United States of America.

Special thanks to Gilad Atzmon and Mohamad Yousef for this video clip telling the story of Rachel, her family and her compatriots.

As always, our special thanks to: International Solidarity Movement
