GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (March 16) - An American woman in Gaza to protest Israeli operations was killed Sunday when she was run over by an Israeli bulldozer, witnesses and hospital officials said. Rachel Corrie, 23, a college student from Olympia, Wash., had been trying to stop the bulldozer from tearing down a building in the Rafah refugee camp, witnesses said. She was taken to Najar hospital in Rafah, where she died, said Dr. Ali Moussa, a hospital administrator. Greg Schnabel, 28, of Chicago, said the protesters were in the house of Dr. Samir Masri. Israeli almost daily has been tearing down houses of Palestinians it suspects in connection with Islamic militant groups, saying such operations deter attacks on Israel such as suicide bombings. ``Rachel was alone in front of the house as we were trying to get them to stop,'' Schnabel said. ``She waved for the bulldozer to stop and waved. She fell down and the bulldozer kept going. We yelled, 'Stop, stop,' and the bulldozer didn't stop at all. It had completely run over her and then it reversed and ran back over her.'' Witnesses said Corrie was wearing a brightly colored jacket when the bulldozer hit her. She had been a student at The Evergreen State College in Olympia and would have graduated this year, Schnabel said. Israeli military spokesman Capt. Jacob Dallal said her death was an accident. The U.S. State Department had no immediate comment. Groups of international protesters have gathered in several locations in the West Bank and Gaza during two years of Palestinian violence, setting themselves up as ``human shields'' to try to stop Israeli operations. Corrie was the first member of the groups, called ``International Solidarity Movement'' and backed by Palestinian groups, to be killed in the conflict. Several activists have been arrested in clashes with Israeli forces, and some have been deported by Israeli authorities. In November, three group members were arrested while trying to prevent Israel from building a security fence between Israel and the West Bank, charging that Israel was taking Palestinian land for the project. In May, 10 activists raced past Israeli soldiers into the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, where dozens of Palestinians were holed up in a standoff with Israeli soldiers outside. After an agreement was reached, the activists refused to leave the church, marking the traditional birthplace of Jesus, holding up the solution. Then they charged that they were mistreated by clergy, who claimed the activists desecrated the church by smoking and drinking alcohol. During an Israeli siege of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah, several members of the group sneaked past Israeli soldiers into the building. Schnabel said there were eight protesters at the site in Rafah, four from the United States and four from Great Britain. ``We stay with families whose house is to be demolished,'' he told the Associated Press by telephone after the incident. Mansour Abed Allah, 29, a Palestinian human rights worker in Rafah, witnessed the incident. He said the killing should be a message to President Bush, who is ``providing Israel with tanks and bulldozers, and now they killed one of his own people.'' Israel sends tanks and bulldozers into the area almost every day, destroying buildings near the Gaza-Egypt border. The Israelis say Palestinian gunmen use the buildings as cover, and arms-smuggling tunnels dug under the border terminate in the buildings. According to interim peace accords, Israel controls the border area, where there are clashes almost daily between Palestinian gunmen and Israeli soldiers. 03/16/03 12:58 EST
A little over the top, to say the leastPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Dude, chill. Name a country where some american wasnt killed. And lets not forget bulldozers have a blindspot the size of a barn and dont exactly stop on a dime.
That buldozer driver was even more savage than a direct male line descendant of Gengis Khan. Imagine the adventures we would have missed if Arthur Dent would have been run over? Sorry, didn't mean to make light of the situation, it's terrible to imagine someone slowly crushing and killing another human being. I'm sure Bush will ignore it though.
I was just watching today, on the history channel, about how America supplied some F-16s to Israel in 1981. The Israelis then used the jets to blow up a power plant in Baghdad, without consent.
What a stupid woman. Goes over there as a protestor, which is dumb enough to begin with. Then, the bulldozer doesn't stop when she asks it to, so does she get out of the way? Nope. Gene pool wins again.
Over here you hear in the news occasionally of people backing their car over a child or a stupid adolescent being hit by the school bus when he runs in front of it. The thing is you just cant see anything near you when you are driving one of those things. The same thing might have happened here.
WHY??? WHY??? WHY???? do so many Americans insist on supporting/protecting Isreal?? It's just beyond me!!! Isreal (and the US of A) IS in the wrong here!!! without a shadow of a doubt!!!!, however there's a broader US agenda at play so everyone is happy to paint an oppressed Palestinain nation as extremist/funddies!! and then it's ok for them to die right??? I just wish people took the time to actually find out what is going on over there before they condemed a nation for wanting freedom!!! /end rant.
Your are very tough! And just how exactly are you gonanna do that? Like with Bin Laden? Over 500,000 innocents paid the price in Afghanistan, the landlords are still controlling strategic regions, and Bin Laden continues with his TV show every now and then.

People's willingness to form strong ideas on the basis of wrong or incomplete information always amazes me. This "power plant" was a nuclear reactor. Even the Iraqis themselves later admitted that they were planning ot manufacture nukes there. If not for that bombing, Iraq would've controlled half of the mid east in 1991 and there wasnt a thing the US or the world could do about it.
Big deal! Still that doesn’t answer the question does it? ...Specially if you are writing in this forum instead of eating dust in Kuwait! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Im awaiting deployment, how bout you , are you willing to risk your life for the greater good. or do you want to sit at home and be attacked by terrorists?
That is a cheap excuse and coming from some Jews it doesn’t amaze me. With that analogy, one would think that Iran is controlling half of Middle East, isn’t it. And Israel having weapons of mass destructions while accompanying a land, even against UN resolutions and of cause, world community’s desire. Should be the next in the international disarming policy.
AMANPOUR: Can I ask you again about the nuclear reactor [built by Iraq with French assistance and destroyed in an Israeli air raid in 1981] at Osirak? You know, a lot of people called it "Os-Chirac", as you know. In retrospect, do you regret that it was destroyed, given that it could have been used to form nuclear weapons? CHIRAC: Well, this reactor was a civilian reactor. It was a civilian power plant and it was only going to produce energy. I don't think it could have been the link or the basis for nuclear technology or a military nuclear program. This being said, events such as we know them, it was destroyed, so the issue is no longer. But in those days, all of the major democracies, all of them, each and every one of them, had contacts and trade and exchanges with Iraq, including on weapons. Even weapons of mass destruction sometimes, including bacteriological, biological weapons. So we shouldn't come back to the past on these issues. But we shouldn't either pinpoint France or point the finger toward France, that had limited its actions to helping Iraq to produce the energy it needed to light the country. AMANPOUR: Which countries are you specifically talking about? CHIRAC: All the major democracies. Each and every one of them. http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/03/16/sprj.irq.amanpour.chirac/index.html Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Since you appear to so excited, I hope you get your deployment very, very soon. A piece of advice if you allow me. Don’t forget to bring tons of lotion for sunburns. Seating for terrorist attacks? I’m not that naïve. Terrorist brake laws and my government its breaking laws in this invasion. We chose our moment, and I’m afraid the terrorist will also choose their moment, that’s nature, isn’t it? We have a long history of protecting dictators at our conveniences even gave safe heaven in our land. Dictators don’t respect public opinion, and neither ours does. In reality, it is just different set of interest, but at the end the ball game it’s the same. Like we, the terrorist will chose when, where and how their show will roll, and unless we don’t blow the earth out to the sky. We will be seating ducks while learning that a nation needs more brains then weapons.
your parents must have been hippies. hey guess what, hippies are uneducated winers. crying and wishing but not doing anything about the problem. you cannot wish for peace. you must fight for it. history shows this.
Do you people even know that the UN posed sanctions against Iraq and said there would be consequences for not abiding and disarming. He has not disarmed and is deliberately disobeying UN orders. and you think we should let him off the hook. Then why should the UN pose sanctions if nobody has to obey them. Murder is illegal here in the U.S. but we don’t let people go. Why should we let a murderer like sadam off the hook.
You really have room for imagination. You really make an easier “subject” for our military brainwash! Don’t think, Don’t question. Don’t investigate ….just obey and shut up!
