[history]
In an e-mail to her family on Feb. 7, two weeks after her arrival in the Gaza Strip, Rachel Corrie wrote that "no amount of reading, attendance at conferences, documentary viewing . . . could have prepared me for the reality of the situation here."

Rachel thought she was a female bulldozer, but she was not.

its pretty clear from this pic that she was between the tank treads.
To: First_Salute
This is the first post to note that the picture (at #100 or 119) doesn't seem very consistent with having been "run over" even once, let alone twice.
There is quite a discussion of this at the "Little Green Footballs" site, complete with diagrams and comments by former D-9 and D-10 drivers.
Any informed opinion from such here??

Those flag-burning pics certainly clear up a few things about miss Rachel. No telling what she did to insult the Israelis, if she is willing to burn her own flag. She crossed over, became a Palestinian, got paid in the end.

Or possibly she slipped off the edge of the ditch, and landed behind the bulldozer immediately before it approached her location; it rolled over her, but she did not die under the tread. Really tragic and senseless.

Another defient utopian who refused to see reality and use her God given brain. Her parents sound just as idiotic. Guess the proverbial apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

This brat was a fanatic and not very smart.

Only two ways in the world to get a look like that on your face - either years of indoctrination into a communist/totalitarian mindset, or a botched hemorrhoid operation.
She was definitely headed down the wrong road, but I think the incident with the bulldozer made a big impression on her.

What's the difference?
A pretty girl who didn't no how to smile regrets that she has but one life to squander for somebody elses wicked ideology. The parents of these people are worshipers of Molech. And now, her sad and broken carcass is being wellstoned by her fellow malcontents.

Her parents have to be so proud. She was the first human sheild to successfully execute her mission.
In her scared memory, let us hope that sensitive and good people on the west coast rise up against Jews the world over. Let them start with Diane Feinstein.

People like Rachel are convinced of their inflated worth by their indulgent parents from virtually day one. Her parents also said in their statement: "We have raised all our children to appreciate the beauty of the global community and family ... And, she gave her life trying to protect those that are unable to protect themselves."
Cause of death: narcissim and arrogance. You can spot a liberal in a few words as it's always about me, me me.

She protected nobody - her death was pointless and stupid. And she was helping terrorism and inciting hatred of Americans.

It seems most of you vote for endless racist war, which makes sense considering "conservatism" is really a jaded and confused fusion of liberal economics and the Christian crusades. Anarchist, rebel against thyself. You had to sneak capitalism in there somewhere.

If you happened to find Cinnamon Girls thread you will see some pictures that likely indicate the driver did not see her .

To the LW visitors from DUmmyland...This is a perfect example of how futile and wasteful your pitiful protests are. A young woman is dead and what have you changed? Nothing.
