Rachel Correy

rafah.virtualactivism.net: 16 March 2003: 9 PM, massive attacks of the IDF in Rafah, especially in the Hay Al Salam area, until now 2 people killed, several wounded, many houses destroyed! One of the victims is Rachel Correy, an American lady, 24 years old. Her body was crushed by an IDF bulldozer while she was trying to stop it and preventing it from demolishing the house of just another innocent family...

Yet another person for the Israel-Palestine label. I came across this girl when watching a 2003 lecture by E. W. Said on "Palestine, Iraq, and U.S. Policy". Rachel (24) died when trying to prevent a Palestinian house from being destroyed by an Israeli military bulldozer. Said opened his speech by remembering her and an applause for her parents. She is one of the many victims, and not the only activist victim in the area.
