In Memoriam Rachel Corrie
Today is the anniversary of Rachel Corries death. Rachel was one of those brave souls who's love of humanity and her determination led her to Rafah to campaing for the Palestinian people.
She was protesting against the collective punishment of Palestinian by doing the most giving thing possible - putting her body forward to stop an armoured Israeli bulldozer destroying a family's home. The Israeli bulldozer didn't stop and crushed her. No one has been brought to book for that crime.
Its something worth considering and applying to the wider conflicts that we face. I hope I can remmember her every year , and hope you can too.
