10th Anniversary of Rachel Corrie's Death

This weekend marked the 10th anniversary of ISM activist Rachel Corrie's death. The 23 year old was accidentally killed in a closed military zone while interfering with anti-terror operations in Gaza.

In memory of Rachel, a vain attempt  was made to get "#RememberRachel to trend on Twitter.  Instead, the thread quickly filled up with reminders of the "Other Rachels " killed in this conflict.  Unlike Rachel Corrie who deliberately chose to put herself  in harms way, the "Other Rachels" were killed in their homes, in the streets, in the mall. They were innocent women living their lives that were targeted simply because they were Jewish women living in the state of the Jewish people.

Thank you to Jameel of the Muqata for the reminder of the "Other Rachels"- the forgotten Rachels killed in this conflict.
