OT: Rachel Corrie |
'Let me fight my monsters'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1454952,00.html
Two years ago Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American protester, was
killed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza. Since then she has become a
potent symbol for both sides of the conflict. But who was the real
Rachel? Katharine Viner, who has edited her writings for a new play, on
an ordinary woman with an extraordinary passion

There is a particular entry in Rachel Corrie's diary, probably written
some time in 1999, four years before she was killed by an Israeli
bulldozer in the Gaza Strip trying to prevent the demolition of
Palestinian homes. She is aged 19 or 20. "Had a dream about falling,
falling to my death off something dusty and smooth and crumbling like
the cliffs in Utah," she writes, "but I kept holding on, and when each
foothold or handle of rock broke I reached out as I fell and grabbed a
new one. I didn't have time to think about anything - just react as if
I was playing an adrenaline-filled video game. And I heard, 'I can't
die, I can't die,' again and again in my head."

"an ordinary woman with an extraordinary passion"?
More like a sub-ordinary woman stupid enough to get in front of a
bulldozer!
She screwed up, and died. ***** happens.
