I found this at a website called "Witness for Justice".

"Then there are the peacemakers like Amy Beale who made the ultimate sacrifice for her beliefs. Amy Beale was a Stanford University graduate, whose Fulbright scholarship took her to South Africa, where she was studying and working with those trying to put back together a nation torn asunder by decades of apartheid. While driving in Capetown, her car was surrounded and she was beaten and stabbed by a group of outsiders who did not know her or what she had done on behalf of that community. The story of this amazing beacon of hope named Amy did not end with her death, however. Her equally amazing parents, Peter and Linda Beale, visited Capetown to see the community where their daughter had been killed and saw the conditions she was trying to change. Instead of being filled with anger and hate, they chose to be filled with love and hope and started the Amy Beale Foundation which continues to work in that community, including running AmyÕs Bread, which provides jobs and food for the very community where she was killed. When do we honor Amy Beale for her contribution to freedom in the world?

And this year, when do we honor Rachel Corrie, the 23-year-old young American killed by an Israeli Defense Force bulldozer driver as she stood non-violently in front of the home of a Palestinian family? Even those who might not agree with her position, must acknowledge that she was a young woman committed to peace in one of the most violent places of a war-torn world. As she stood there in an orange fluorescent vest, she practiced what all non-violent protestors have been taught ø to try to look at your attacker in the eye with love and find that personÕs humanity. When do we honor Rachel Corrie and others, like the Christian Peacemaker Teams sent by the historic peace churches to that place to observe and stand between Palestinians and Israelis on behalf of peace?"

BARF!

"And this year, when do we honor Rachel Corrie"

Honor? For being a traitor? When did that become deserving of honor?

"Even those who might not agree with her position, must acknowledge that she was a young woman committed to peace "

Somebody has some bad information:

Angel Of Death -The Rachel Corrie Incident

People who are stupid to stand in front of bulldozer for their cause are no less stupid than those who strap on bombs for their cause.

Barf is right.

Hey Rachel Corrie, didn't your parents ever tell you to look both ways when you are crossing the bulldozer streets?

You moron, in so many ways. You piss me off because I cannot feel any sympathy for you, and that diminishes me, in a way, diminishes my humanity.

I am glad that you are dead, but I still feel bad, in some perverse way.

Call me weak!
