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.

I knew a few of her classmates, but I never met her myself. Got involved with activist groups as a result and ended up taking a colloquial arabic class from a Palestinian. He was so adamantly hopeful about peace in the region I am sadly glad he passed in 2018 of natural causes.

All Israeli crimes, past and present. The Israeli genocide of Gaza has a historical context behind it.
