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 #rRafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza abd turned it into a giant concentration camp.

Her martyrdom was when I realized Israel must be opposed, I think. I didn’t consciously understand it (I wasn’t even a teenager yet) and didn’t have any theoretical basis for my opposition, but it as after her death I started questioning the Zionist narrative.
They tried to bury her. They didn’t realize she was a seed.

I never forget the moment I saw the video of her murder.
It was before Israel forced all web sites to remove the video.
I think I still have it on one of my backup tapes
