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.

    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….
