Rachel Corrie, 1979-2003 (she died 22 years ago today)

Rachel, an American #peace #activist, was killed when Israeli soldiers crushed her with a #bulldozer

She was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home in #Rafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza and turned it into a giant concentration camp.

    No greater love than this, that a (hu)man lay down their life for their brothers/sisters. 😻✊

      I’m conflicted. Glad she was such a comrade, but would much rather the bulldozer driver’s life been laid down instead.

        Well, we want things. That’s human.
