U.S.: Pro-Palestinian Organization Named After Rachel Corrie
The family of U.S. peace activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed last March in the occupied Palestinian town of Rafah when an Israeli Caterpillar bulldozer ran over her, are set to lay the foundations of a pro-Palestinians organization that would carry her name and will sue the Israeli army, chairman and co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) Adam Shapiro said Saturday, June 28. In an exclusive interview with IslamOnline.net, Shapiro said that the organization will start its activities next summer to carry the torch passed by Corrie. Corrie's parents urged the supporters of the Palestinian cause worldwide to boycott the U.S. Caterpillar construction company, which razes Palestinian land, demolishes houses and builds the separating wall between the West Bank and Israel.
