Few Americans today remember that 'a date which will live in infamy' was
a key slogan used by FDR to deceive Americans into marching blindly to
war and death. Another infamous point in time is September 11, 2001 -
especially if you know the truth about it. Americans should also add
March 16, 2003, to these shameful dates-"the day President George W.
Bush attacked Iraq and when an American-made Caterpillar bulldozer was
used by the Israeli to murder a young American activist in Palestine.
.
On March 16, 2003, Bush and his neocon masters consummated their
"cakewalk" over the bodies of innocent women and children for Israel.
Meanwhile in Israel, the regime "drunk with madness because America was
once again sacrificing blood and treasure for Zionist policies" was
celebrating Purim by stealing more lands and bulldozing homes.
.
On that day, one Israeli-operated bulldozer was aiming to demolish the
home of Samir Nasralla's family, who was sharing their meager fare with
a young American seeking peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Wanting to stop the injustice, wearing her bright orange fluorescent
jacket, Rachel Corrie stood, atop a small hill, alone between the house
and the oncoming bulldozer. She held off the demolition for three hours
with nothing but her courage, a megaphone and a peaceful picket sign.
Miss Corrie stared, unflinchingly into the eyes of the Israeli driver as
he drove straight at her. The tiny American girl was crushed under 65
tons of armor-plated behemoth. The driver backed up over her broken
body, gunned the engine, drowning out her screams of pain and then drove
over Rachel again.
For the past 10 years Rachel's parents have sought justice for her. With
perverted logic, the Israeli judge excused the murderer. In the January
30 issue of AMERICAN FREE PRESS, readers were informed about their legal
battle in the article titled 'Parents Recount Battle with Israel:
Father, mother of murdered peace activist speak out about decade-long
fight for justice' by Pete Papaherakles.
.
Rachel was a courageous American. She did peacefully what the United
States government claims it is doing with guns and bombs when it invades
foreign lands. Rachel bravely stood up for the rights of people to be
safe and secure in their own homes.
