1For peace in memory to RACHEL CORRIE
2A few days ago a young pacifist, Rachel Corrie of
only 23 years lost her life. She was a student
of the Olympia University (Washington) and she
made part of a voluntary organization for justice
and peace. With her pacifist organization she
remembers in occasion of the anniversary of
September 11 to remember the victims, but also
those of the war in Afghanistan.
3This year Rachel decided to pass from theory to
action, she went to Israel, where she was
involved in action with a International
Solidarity Movement at the border of Palestine.
She participate to stop the Israelian bulldozer
which destroy the houses of kamikaze and their
families in Palestine territories.
4To her friends she wrote by e-mails They
destroy the houses also if the people are still
inside. They have no respect for nothing and
nobody
5On 15 march in an action near the Gaza line ,
Rachel was with her friends to oppone against the
demolitions.
She was doing a sit-in on the way of the
Bulldozer, the driver saw her, but went straight
on, passing over her declares Joseph Smith,
american pacifist militant.
6the bulldozer put earth over her and began to
press on her told Nicholas Dure, another friend
of her
7Her friends tried in every way to stop the
bulldozer, and to give her the first aid, but
their was nothing to do.
8Rachel Corrie lost her life with only 23 years,
defending with her body and her ideas the right
of civil Palestines to have a house and a peace
of ground.
9The Israeli authorities gave different versions
of the happening, but all of them were
contradicted by the photos and testimonials. The
young was killed in a barbarian way, while she
was doing a pacific sit-in. Rachel and her
friends denounced every day lots of houses are
destroyed in the Gaza line, and that bombs
damaged the sweet water sinks in the camp of
refugees in Rafah and those have no possibility
to defend themselves without staying in the
fireline of israeli.
10There have been a lot of initiatives in Olympia
(Washington) and in the US to remember Rachel.

remember what happens, to learn of it and to
never forget - PEACE!!!
