Recently, the name of Rachel Corrie was in the local news headline. Rachel Corrie is not just name that belong to a ship that carries aid to Gaza. It's more than a name. The name belongs to a US citizen activist. She knelt in front of the Israel bulldozer to stop demolishing a house belong to Palestinian family. In stead of stopping, the bulldozer just crushed over her.
