'I'm here because I care'

Rachel Corrie She Died for Palestine

By Dr Lasha Darkmoon

In memory of Rachel Corrie

Like all things pure and precious

Like holy bread and wine

I love the radiant Rachel

Who died for Palestine.

Beautiful in life ... Beautiful in death

... cut down like a flower of the field

Once through a green field drifting

In the doldrums of the day

Watching ravens peck out lambs’ eyes

In their cruel, gloating way:

“You take the gun. You shoot. You do what you want.”— Israeli soldier

“The Palestinians are beasts walking on two legs.” — Menahim Begin

I remembered, I remembered,

How those raptors vulturine

Seized the land and plagued the people

Of historic Palestine.

Deir Yassin, April, 1948

... and elsewhere

The Massacre of the Innocents.

"We shall have no pity on them until we shall have destroyed their so-called Arab culture, on the ruins of which we shall build our own civilization." — Menachem Begin

How the snipers on the rooftops,

Armed with Uzis, standing tall,

Splash the blood of little children

On the weeping classroom walls.

How the settlers spit on Christians

In the land where Jesus died—

And how those who do the spitting

Have the world upon their side.

"I know Christians who lock themselves indoors during the entire Purim holiday," — Daniel Rossing.

How they bulldoze people’s houses

Till the roofs crash on their heads

And the women lie all broken

With their babies in their beds.

How the wolfish killers wander

Through a vale of endless tears

Shooting children in their faces

While the world stands by and cheers.

How the bright-eyed Rachel Corries

Lie in cemeteries dead

While the birds of prey grow fatter—

And the world just turns its head.

Christ, come back and save these children—

Put an end to all their pain!

Put an end to evil Zion!

Palestine, come back again!

Palestinian children

“The difference between a Jewish soul and the soul of non-Jews

is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul

and the soul of cattle.”

— Rabbi Kook

Rachel Corrie 5th Grade Speech 'I'm here because I care'
-worth a million Nobels for peace-

Rachel Corrie, a true hero was murdered by the State of Israel.

Rachel Corrie was killed by the state of Israel, and by its brutal regime that practises not only 'mass punishment' but also 'ethnic cleansing'.

The same regime that has displaced over 4 million Palestinians, and killed many thousands. The same regime that has denied the right to self-determination to the Palestinian people.

A regime that systematically destroys the lives of innocents every single DAY.
