Wednesday March 16th marked the 8th anniversary of the killing of Rachel Corrie, crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition. Rachel’s parents, Craig and Cindy Corrie, founders of the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice have posted a moving message to mark the anniversary. One is reminded of David Rovics’ song The Death of Rachel Corrie, and of Jim Page’s song Rachel Corrie.
