 | Israeli bulldozer driver murders American peace activist On 16 March 2003 in Rafah, occupied Gaza, 23-year-old American peace activist Rachel Corrie from Olympia, Washington, was murdered by an Israeli bulldozer driver. Rachel was in Gaza opposing the bulldozing of a Palestinian home as a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement. The girl, Rachel Corey [sic], 23 years old from the state of Washington, was killed while she was trying to prevent Israeli army bulldozers from destroying a Palestinian home. Other foreigners who were with her said the driver of the bulldozer was aware that Rachel was there, and continued to destroy the house. Initially he dropped sand and other heavy debris on her, then the bulldozer pushed her to the ground where it proceeded to drive over her, fracturing both of her arms, legs and skull. She was transferred to hospital, where she later died. Another foreigner was also injured in the attack and has been hospitalized - at this stage his nationality is unknown.(15 March 2003) http://www.ccmep.org/2003_articles/P...hoto_story.htm Live the Light, Give the Light, Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day!

| The Israelis called ahead, and it wasn't even her house. I'm not a fan of the tactic, but if she didn't get out, it's her fault. My political compass Economic Left/Right: 5.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.41 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Are you saying she was inside the house?  Because I have the pictures.  By your comment you imply that she was inside the house and it was just an accident......and not outright murder.

| Wow, you are saying that it is her fault that the bulldozer intentionally killed her? You're really radicalized to the point where you would condone intentional murder? You're confused, and sick. Israel is a noble cause, but not at the expense of innocent life.

A "peacemaker" is one who seeks to bring harmony and reconciliation between those who are estranged. Peacemaking seeks to produce right relationships between persons. God hates those who sow discord and stir up trouble (Proverbs 6:19). Yet every community and every local church and many homes have people who thrive on divisions and conflict and unrest.
