● Nowhere To Run ☠ * Nowhere To Hided *
Israel sends messages to warn the people of Gaza, of Israeli Bombing, and then Israel bombs the areas of refuge. They claim they've hit all of their intended targets with precision. Now we know what their targets are, mainly, the innocent, mostly children, and very few are even suspects of any kind. But, the larger picture is, that Palestinians have been under a daily brutal and violent oppression from Israel for decades. And, it is the oppressed who have the moral and legal right to resist their oppressors, not the other way around. World opinion and international law are with Palestine. Americans urgently need to join the rest of the world in demanding a ceasefire. Israel is wiping Palestine off the map, right before our eyes, while claiming to be the victims of the rare and pitiful backlash of their own violence.
☼ Peace and ceasefire agreements require an ending of the siege on Gaza and a removal of the illegal settlements in the West Bank. Israel has never been able to comply. American tax dollars are sent to Israel for the purpose of purchasing arms from U.S. weapons manufacturers. It is a business, the U.S. corporate media will not report. We need to stop supporting the massacre, and demand peace now!

📰 Rachel Corrie was a 23-year-old American peace activist from Olympia, Washington, who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer, March 16th, 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a local Palestinian (pharmacist, Dr. Samir Nasrallah and his) family from demolition.
Rachel Corrie - Interview
Footage from Rachel's interview conducted by Middle East Broadcasting Company on March 14th, 2003, two days before she was murdered by the Israeli Defense Forces.
Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American activist and diarist.
She was a student at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, and a member of the pro-Palestinian group, the ISM or International Solidarity Movement. She was killed by an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) armored bulldozer in a combat zone in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, under contested circumstances during the height of the second Palestinian intifada. By 2004, the Israel destruction of homes in Rafah left more than 1700 people homeless.
A strong compassionate voice of a courageous woman, she will always remain an inspiration to all concerned with peace and justice. The loss of her life, is the world's loss. It is our loss. We can only imagine what more she could've done, the influence she would've had, if she were still with us today.
