#RachelCorrie died 23 years ago today, on 16 March 2003. She was crushed by an #Israeli army bulldozer, when trying to prevent the demolition of a house in #Rafah, #Gaza, owned by a #Palestinian doctor and his family. Rachel was 23-years-old. See http://rachelcorriefoundation.org

#JimPage's song "I'd rather be dancing" is based on letters Rachel wrote home to her parents before Israelis murdered her: https://youtu.be/QxazIsQE1XE

Rachel placed her body between civilians and killers. That's what a war hero is.
