Rachel Corrie and Aaron Bushnell
They sacrificed their lives for the just cause of Palestine.
The palastinians will never forget them.
And Tom Hurndall, in 2004, January 13, Israel killed Tom while he was protecting a Palestinian girl in confrontations with the occupation forces.
In our hearts forever, guys.

Rachel Corrie, an American citizen, was murdered, repeatedly run over by a bulldozer as she stood in defense of Palestinians.
Her family was threatened and anyone who spoke about her was smeared as an antisemite including Alan Rickman who wrote and directed a play about her.
To this day she is remembered and honoured as a martyr in Palestine.
While, at the time, her death was mocked in Israel by putting her face on pancakes.

this day (march 16th) 21 years ago (2003), american activist rachel corrie was crushed to death by an israeli bulldozer while she protested the demolition of palestinian homes in rafah. she was 24. this april, she would have turned 45.
Sandra Jordan wrote in The Observer that because Corrie was American her death attracted more attention than the deaths of Palestinians under similar circumstances: "On the night of Corrie's death, nine Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, among them a four-year-old girl and a man aged 90. A total of 220 people have died in Rafah since the beginning of the intifada. Palestinians know the death of one American receives more attention than the killing of hundreds of Muslims." (Wikipedia)
while we honor corrie's sacrifice, we must remember what she fought for. you can read her emails from rafah about her experiences in palestine at the rachel corrie foundation for peace and justice, organized by her parents cindy and craig who continue her work.

“Today I tried to learn to say [in Arabic], ‘Bush is a tool,’ but I don’t think it translated quite right. But anyway, there are eight-year-olds here much more aware of the workings of the global power structure than I was just a few years ago.”
— Rachel Corrie, Letter from Palestine (February 7, 2003)

have you ever heard about the story of rachel corrie and tom hurndall? the things the zionists did to them is heartbreaking :'(
yes! for those who don’t know: Rachel Corrie (1979-2003) was an American peace activist who, in 2003, was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home. Rachel was killed when Israeli soldiers crushed her with a bulldozer out of spite. they threatened her family in America for years. back then, Israelis made fun of her death by making pancakes with her face on it. and they continue to mock her to this day.
she’s a hero in Palestine and they named a street after her.
Tom Hurndall (1981-2004) was a British photographer and peace activist who was trying to cover the events in Palestine. Tom was assassinated by an Israeli sniper in Gaza on April 11, 2003, while he was trying to rescue two Palestinian children from gunfire. He was left in a coma and died 9 months later on January 13, 2004.
They still have absolutely no justice to their names.
from My Name is Rachel Corrie & also here’s Rachel’s emails.

“I should at least mention that I am also discovering a degree of strength and of basic ability for humans to remain human in the direst of circumstances - which I also haven't seen before. I think the word is dignity. I wish you could meet these (Palestinian) people. Maybe, hopefully, someday you will.”
—Rachel Corrie, in an email to her mother, February 28th 2003
In contrast, Ben Shapiro has pretty much always been a piece of shit. But mocking a genuine peace activist like Rachel Corrie is particularly odious. And I just want to add, if you find that a lot of the ideas you support also dovetail with those being supported by Republicans, neoliberal Democrats and “edgy” 🙄 Libertarians, then that might be a cue to re-evaluate and re-examine one or two of your core beliefs.
