Killing of Rachel Corrie in Gaza

Killing of Peace Activist Rachel Corrie
March 17, 2003

Hi everyone,

Sorry my email was down last night before the nightly newscast in the States. I've been on CBS, Fox, and have also given interviews to the AP and am heading out to give more on the killing of one of the ISM volunteers I trained this winter. She was deliberately run over twice by a bulldozer while trying to prevent a Palestinian doctor's house from being demolished in Gaza. The Israeli military is trying to cover up the incident by saying
the bulldozer driver never saw her, but that's pretty weak when she and the driver were shouting at her and she was wearing a bright orange jacket in broad daylight. It is not the first time that Israeli military bulldozers have attacked international peace workers. Anyway the international community here is outraged. We were all at the Bethlehem peace vigil when we found out. You can check out http://www.palsolidarity.org for the press release and some photos of the girl who was killed.
