On 16 March 2003 in Rafah, occupied Gaza, 23-year-old American peace
activist Rachel Corrie from Olympia, Washington, was murdered by an
Israeli bulldozer driver. Rachel was in Gaza opposing the bulldozing of a
Palestinian home as a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement.
An e-mailed report from the Palestine Monitor stated:
Rachel Corrie (ISM Handout)
"Rachel Corey [sic], 23 years old from the state of Washington, was killed
while she was trying to prevent Israeli army bulldozers from destroying a
Palestinian home. Other foreigners who were with her said the driver of
the bulldozer was aware that Rachel was there, and continued to destroy
the house. Initially he dropped sand and other heavy debris on her, then
the bulldozer pushed her to the ground where it proceeded to drive over
her, fracturing both of her arms, legs and skull. She was transferred to
hospital, where she later died. Another foreigner was also injured in the
attack and has been hospitalized - at this stage his nationality is
unknown." (15 March 2003)
A press release from the International Solidarity Movement stated that:
"Rachel had been staying in Palestinian homes threatened with illegal
demolition, and today Rachel was standing with other non-violent
international activists in front of a home scheduled for illegal
demolition. According to witnesses, Rachel was run over twice by the
Israeli military bulldozer in its process of demolishing the Palestinian
home. Witnesses say that Rachel was clearly visible to the bulldozer
driver, and was doing nothing to provoke an attack." (15 March 2003)
The photos below clearly show that Rachel was well marked, had a
megaphone, and posed no threat to the bulldozer driver.

reported that Dr. Ali Musa, a doctor at Al-Najjar, stated that the cause
of death was "skull and chest fractures". (Mohammad Al-Moghair)
A later report from ISM Media Coordinator Michael Shaikh in Beit Sahour
offered more details about the events:
"The confrontation between the ISM and the Israeli Army had been under way
for two hours when Rachel was run over. Rachel and the other activists had
clearly identified themselves as unarmed international peace activists
throughout the confrontation.
The Israeli Army are attempting to dishonour her memory by claiming that
Rachel was killed accidentally when she ran in front of the bulldozer.
Eye-witnesses to the murder insist that this is totally untrue. Rachel was
sitting in the path of the bulldozer as it advanced towards her. When the
bulldozer refused to stop or turn aside she climbed up onto the mound of
dirt and rubble being gathered in front of it wearing a fluorescent jacket
to look directly at the driver who kept on advancing. The bulldozer
continued to advance so that she was pulled under the pile of dirt and
rubble. After she had disappeared from view the driver kept advancing
until the bulldozer was completely on top of her. The driver did not lift
the bulldozer blade and so she was crushed beneath it. Then the driver
backed off and the seven other ISM activists taking part in the action
rushed to dig out her body. An ambulance rushed her to A-Najar

Colleagues of Rachel comfort each other in Najjar hostpital, Rafah,
Occupied Gaza. Ha'aretz newspaper reported that a second activist was also
injured at the same location. (Mohammad Al-Moghair)
"This is a regrettable accident," Israeli Defence Forces [sic] spokesman
Captain Jacob Dallal was reported as saying in Ha'aretz newspaper. "We are
dealing with a group of protesters who were acting very irresponsibly,
putting everyone in danger."
Members of the Israeli army and associated Israeli settler paramilitary
units have been responsible for the killing of 2,181 Palestinians and the
injuring of another 22,218 between 29 September 2000 and 14 March 2003.
In addition to the killing of Rachel Corrie by the bulldozer driver,
Israeli troops have shot and killed several other internationals in
different incidents during the Intifada: German doctor Harald Fischer,
Italian cameraman Rafaeli Ciriello, and British United Nations worker Iain
Hook.

Le solite foto del ca**o scopiazzate da vari siti e che non mostrano
nessun "israeli bulldozer driver" che "murders" una attivista americana.
