The Tehran City Council on Tuesday ratified a proposal calling for one of the streets in Tehran to be named after the American peace activist, Rachel Corrie, who is viewed as an icon by many for her resistance against the Zionist regime.
Rachel Aliene Corrie was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and a peace activist who was brutally crushed to death in 2003 when run over by a U.S.-supplied Israeli army bulldozer while attempting to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home in Gaza.
The proposal to name a street after Corrie was first put forward by ten universities based in Tehran.
According to the ratification, the 27th street in District 6 of the Tehran Municipality will be named after her.

The useful idiot peace activist enshrined in the state run by nuclear-arming, war mongering, radical jihadists.
May all of Corrie’s adoring fans make a pilgrimage to see her memorial.

This is as nearly as big an honor as having a Boulevard named for ya in Hell.
Her parents must be so proud.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. The world is better off without Rachel Corrie. Hopefully many of her jihadist-loving comrades will join her in Hell very soon.

It’s the smoothest, flattest street in Iran.

I wonder if they’re going to get Rage Against the Machine to play at the dedication ceremony?
