Rachel Corrie, 1979-2003 (she died 22 years ago today)

Rachel, an American #peace #activist, was killed when Israeli soldiers crushed her with a #bulldozer

She was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home in #Rafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza and turned it into a giant concentration camp.

    Imagine being the kind of mind that downvotes this comment. Like why are they downvoting? “I disagree with this verifiable fact”? “I refuse to believe this is true”? “Maybe if I downvote this people will question the validity of this fact”?

      They’re the kind of people who straight up make a full governmental funded guide about what Israeli people should say online.

      This is an attempt to give this regurgitated bullshit credibility by having as many people as possible saying the same information online, since “if all these people are saying it then it must be true”

      the term “zionist” is essentially a racial slur… zionism is just the movement for a jewish homeland, but many many zionists are against that being established in Israel….
      and many Israeli’s aren’t zionists….
      even Bob Marley used to sing about zion… there was a movement to establish that in Ethiopia…
      tl;dr it’s not the Zionists, it’s not the Jews… it’s Israelis but even a lot of them are against the whole fascist murdering thing….

      so, whenever someone writes about “those damned Zionists” they’re taking a legitimate criticism and turning it into a racist one….
