Rachel died as she lived, her short life snuffed out at age 23, her body put on the line against Israeli injustice toward Palestinians – risking death for supporting their fundamental rights, victimized by regime barbarism.
Thirteen years ago on March 16, a soldier-operated giant armored Caterpillar bulldozer used to smash Palestinian homes crushed her to death.
She tried stopping a Rafah refugee camp home demolition from proceeding. She tried reasoning with the driver, knelt meters away, blocking its path with her body – in clear view of its operator.
It lurched forward. Activists screamed for it to stop to no avail. It crushed Rachel’s body the way it smashes homes, at times with defenseless victims inside.
Making sure she was dead, the soldier-operator ran over her twice, remaining unaccountable for premeditated murder to this day. Full story...
