The Passion of The Crusht

[Must_B_Free]

RAFAH, Gaza (CNN) -- A bulldozer killed an American woman Sunday who had been protesting its use to destroy houses in Somewhere.

The woman, Rachel Corrie, 23, of Olympia, Washington, was taken to a hospital, where she died of her injuries. She was a senior at Evergreen State College in Olympia but was not enrolled this quarter, the school said.

Since January, she had been working with the peace movement to protest bad actions in the Somewhere, said Huwaida Arraf, co-founder of the group.

Corrie had recently appeared in a televised mock trial in which President Bush was accused of war crimes for his alleged support of bad things.

"This morning, when she was killed, she was attempting to prevent some people from destroying Some peoples civilian homes," Arraf said.

"She was raising her hands and yelling at the bulldozer driver to stop," Arraf said. "The bulldozer driver paid no attention. ... He buried Rachel with dirt, which ended up, obviously, knocking her down. Then he ran over her, and then reversed and ran over her again."

Edit: Cleaned it up a bit so it wouldn't get locked. The point is - how many uf us have the conviction to actually go out and try to help people like this woman did? If Jesus is "the Christ" then Rachel is "The Crushed"

8. Should have been TIME's woman of the year, imho

[DuctapeFatwa]

12. She should. I'm sure both Rachel and Tom Hurndall have been

nominated for posthumous Nobels. I hope so, and I hope they'll get them.
