"MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE has been developed by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner, in collaboration with the Royal Court International Department. With the kind permission of Rachel Corries family, according to the PSC.

Murdered? The stupid idiot was standing in front of a bulldozer that couldn't see her. I call it self induced suicide.

When will the rest of us begin to learn the lesson of Rachel Corrie's life and death?
A lesson any 6 year old should already know. Human meets bulldozer head-to-head, human loses.

Cavort with terrorists and sh!t happens. I have ZERO sympathy for Rachel Corrie

In an e-mail message Rachel wrote to her parents just before she was killed, she said, "This has to stop. I think it is a good idea for us all to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop. I don't think it's an extremist thing to do anymore. I really want to dance around to Pat Benatar and have boyfriends and make comics for my co-workers. But I also want this to stop. Disbelief and horror is what I feel."
It's no surprise that Rachel was really deep.
