Rachel Corrie was a beautiful 23-year-old American peace activist from Washington, who was crushed to death (murdered) by an Israeli soldier driving a bulldozer on 16 March 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition.

I just wanted to share Rachel's sad but inspirational story with those of you who have never heard of her. She stood up for what she believed in and actually took action, unlike most of us keyboard warriors who just talk about taking action and never do a damn thing. Rachel Corrie traveled half way around the world to protest, fight, and ultimately give her life in martyrdom against the illegal zionist occupation of Palestine and the wanton destruction of Palestinian homes. She deserves to be remembered as often as possible.
