Five years has passed since Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American peace activist from Olympia, was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer while nonviolently trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian house in the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. despite the testimony of six eyewitnesses who claim that Corrie, with her bright orange jacket, was clearly visible to the bulldozer drivers, and that the bulldozer lifted her up and drove over her repeatedly with its plow down.
Aww that's so candy! thank you. i could choose to mentor intense college pupils, could I ask the type you acquire into that? Did you may desire to get your credentials like instructors do? i could like to help different youthful African American females with those comparable themes! that's like a fondness/dream of mine! ^.^
I never heard of that incident -- it's sad to hear about, I feel for her family who survives her. In all fairness though, it was likely an accident -- I doubt they would intentionally kill her. The vantage point of the driver and those eye witnesses were likely vastly different.
I remember when Starhawk whored her into a propaganda piece about Iraq, as if they were the same governments and the same situations. It was when the last shred of respect for her I had as an author vanished.
You left out the part that hard factual evidence showed that it would have been very difficult if not impossible for the bulldozer driver to have seen her from inside the cab. Why did you do that? Edit: As I pointed out, you left out a very important part. Reading your version of events, the only answer was that she was intentionally killed. Reading the whole version makes it likely that this was a tragic accident. Reading Cathy's lies about the radio conversations makes one sick to their stomach at the depths people will sink to in order to make their case. Edit to Cathy: Odd how in your addition you say that the driver said on the radio "I hit someone," while in your first post you said he laughed and said he ran over an American. Clearly you were not telling the truth at first, as your original story isn't backed up by facts and is clearly designed to sway opinion. And what are you trying to make a case for? Your original post made it clear that you were saying she was intentionally killed, while the evidence actually points to an accident caused by her putting herself into harm's way. And what was she doing that was so right, anyway?
Yes I know of her, alot about her actually. to all who say it was probably an accident. they knew she was there it had been a 5 hour stand off between her and the bulldozer. And no it wasn't an accident the IDF member running the bulldozer joked about it over the military radio and it is recorded. Laughing saying "I ran over the american". Then lowered his bucket and ran over her again after he said it.The IDF also prevented medical care from entering the area and would not allow her to be removed to seek medical attention for over a half hour. EDIT II: MR STIGGO IT IS NOT LIES: "At 5:04, the bulldozer driver's voice crackled over Israeli military radio. Speaking Hebrew with a thick Russian accent, the soldier blandly announced, "I hit someone." A soldier monitoring the conversation relayed the report to base, assuming the activ- ist was a man. "He was too close to Dooby [the code name of the operator] and he hit him." MIdway through Corrie's middle east memorial IDF tanks pulled up and sprayed the crowd with tear gas. Just like James Miller the British newsman who was wearing his NEWS vest and was shot in the head by an IDF sniper in a tower and his film that he had just shot taken. It has been recorded and covered by EVERY news station from NPR to CNN to BBC to DW. Everyone's continued denial of the truth (like yours) by bring calling them lies and passing them off because there is no addressing them with out admitting guilt is what makes one sick to their stomach. AND what is this suppose to be making a case for? or about? The only case I am making was a young girl was doing what was right and she was brutally cut down and no one gives a crap or will cop to it. No matter what country you are from or what religion you are that should make you sick.
