Rachel Corrie was not educated in her religion or in any spiritual way. Though she was Jewish she knew little about the Jewish experience or history. Judaism has a huge component of leveling type principles. And though education is left out or minimalized it's still taught in Judaic familes by deeds and thoughts sometimes subconsciously. So Rachel Corrie's sense of injustice brought her to Palestine. Without informing the driver Corries laid down in front of a house getting bulldozed for the families involvement in terrorism. Unaware of her position the driver ran over her and killed her.
There are many Rachel Corries out there. In the past they would have become bolesheviks, communists in an effort to right the wrongs and make the world fair. Today they join a variety of left wing groups. Today they adopt the lies, exaggerations, disinformation, of right wing groups such as white supremacists but more than ever right wing Islamic groups who appeal to their sense of fairness without mentioning their lack of fairness in their supremacist philosophy that Arabs need to lord over all others in regards to religion and ethnicity. They actually get Jews to work for them blocking Israeli embassies and such. Issues like disproporionate casualties in the Gaza war are sculpted to appeal to leftists and liberals a Jews and non Jews. Of course upon examination anyone with any historical knowledge or introspection. realizes that there is never equal or near equal casualties in Gaza or any war.

rachel corrie was NOT jewish !! U make the same mistake as antisemites, calling anyone u dislike 'jewish'
Rachel was a Christian, not a Jew, though you would seem to want to "claim her". She did not die, inadvertatly, for Palestine. This lovely young woman was there to work as a pro-human-rights person. She cared about the people of Gaza and all of Palestine and you would be better off to not slander this wonderful girls name.
I hope Rachel's parents never come across your hateful post.
