AJE’s Inside Story:

It is publicity the Israelis did not want. They have long been accused of white-washing investigations into the deaths of foreign activists.  But now the family of a young American woman is forcing the State of Israel to defend itself in court. Rachel Corrie was crushed to death beneath an Israeli army bulldozer seven years ago, as she tried to stop it demolishing a Palestinian home.

Will the truth about what happened to Rachel Corrie finally be told? And will there be justice for her at last?

Inside Story presenter Shiulie Ghosh is joined by Huwaida Arraf, one of the founders of the International Solidarity Movement, Dan Izerman, the legal affairs correspondent at the Jerusalem Post, and Ian Black, the Middle East editor at the British Newspaper The Guardian.

Keep Fighting for Her Vision – March 16, 2010

Seven years ago today, 23 year-old Rachel Corrie of Olympia, Washington was crushed to death by a Caterpillar D-9R bulldozer driven by an Israeli soldier.

Rachel was part of an International Solidarity Movement group trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian pharmacist’s home in Rafah, Gaza.

Seven years later, Rachel’s memory is still vibrant and her family is still fighting for answers.

Rachel’s parents and sister are currently in Israel participating in a civil case against the state of Israel for intentional and unlawful killing and gross negligence in Rachel’s death. – Read more at End the Occupation…
