Just thinking about how much I truly wish there were more like Rachel Corrie.
Anyone can hate America, love terrorists and protest.
Rachel was just one of many who did such things at Evergreen State College in Olympia and there are many more at college campuses all over this land.
Most don't actually accomplish anything beyond disrupting the educations of people who pay to be there, particpating in riots and vandalism, degrading local quality of life and smelling bad.
But not Rachel. She went the extra mile.
She didn't bitch within the comfort, safety and protection of the country she so despised. She was a true believer and went to the heart of her "beast."
She took her message of Islamic Revolution to Israel itself, a country ironically enough that doesn't have the same rights that she was so accustomed to. She stood defiant against her enemy and held her ground.
I only wish every activist were as dedicated. We could use more like Rachel.
I think radical protestors should adopt a "Mecca" concept and require everyone who is able to travel to Israel to face the bulldozers at least "once" in their life. And I'm not for socialism but perhaps this is something the government could partially fund.
If they only save one home it will be worth the lives of thousands of protestors.
