Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Also Monday, international pro-Palestinian activists disputed the Israeli military's claim that an American woman crushed by an Israeli bulldozer was killed accidentally. The International Solidarity Movement said in a statement that Rachel Corrie, 23, of Olympia, Wash., was clearly visible to the driver of the bulldozer as she stood in the vehicle's path to try to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. Corrie was killed Sunday, the first foreign protester to be killed in 29 months of Palestinian-Israeli violence. A member of the International Solidarity Movement said her body was taken Monday evening from a Gaza hospital morgue to Tel Aviv, from where it would be flown home. The Israeli military said the driver did not see Corrie, but the group rejected that in a statement. "When the bulldozer refused to stop or turn aside, she climbed up onto the mound of dirt and rubble being gathered in front of it ... to look directly at the driver who kept on advancing," it said. http://www.optonline.net/Article/Feeds/0,4003,channel%3D32%26article% 3D2329835,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
