Permalink Gazans commemorate 10th anniversary of American woman’s killing by Israeli forces - Video

People in Gaza commemorated the tenth anniversary of the killing of American activist Rachel Corrie by Israeli forces.

In late August 2012 a civil suit in an Israeli court filed by Rachel’s parents ended with an Israeli judge exonerating the Israeli military for killing her despite all the incriminating evidence. This not justice, we will continue to fight for justice for Rachel Corrie.

Ten years and we still want the Israelis to admit what they done was wrong ,unlawful and unjustified, and we will continue to fight for this”. Ever since Rachel’s death, Israeli forces have carried many incursions in Gaza killing and injuring thousands of people and destroying thousands of homes. Now activists say they want justice for Rachel who helped highlight the plight of Palestinians. Rachel’s parents have continued to fight to put a light on Palestine to get justice for Rachel. Most importantly what this death has done is highlighted the huge human loss for Palestinians. Nine people were killed the next day in Rafah in the same place”. People here say that they will always be grateful for Rachel Corrie who helped draw attention to their just cause.
