'In Athens They Call Her She Who Would Not Retreat'

February 17, 2004

By Leslie Knopp

The Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions presented a posthumous award to Rachel Corrie, who was run over by an Israeli bulldozer while protecting a Palestinian home. OLYMPIA - Activist Rachel Corrie was far from her Olympia home, but she guarded Palestinians' homes as if they were her own. Last March she stood between the home of a Palestinian doctor and an Israeli bulldozer. She was acting as a human shield. The driver ran her down, killing her.

"In Athens they call her 'she who would not retreat'," said Craig Corrie,Rachel's Father. Rachel's parents have traveled the world learning about their daughter's passion. Monday they were back in Olympia, celebrating Rachel's life.

They accepted an award, the first of its kind, from a worldwide organization -- Cohre. It stands for Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions. It is a group that works to protect people's right to a safe home, a cause Rachel died for. Rachel was awarded the Housing Rights Defender Award posthumously.

"When Rachel wrote one of her e-mails, she ended it by saying, I wish you could meet these people," said Craig. Her parents did meet the people Rachel lived with. They say the Israeli's never charged the doctor Rachel protected with any crime. Rachel's parents met that doctor. His house still stood. But, a month ago, bulldozers finally knocked down the house Rachel protected.

"It's just gut-wrenching when you hear about homes where you've sat and had dinner with children and the family and to know those are gone. Those were homes where Rachel also slept in order to try to offer some international protection. They're gone now," said Rachel's mother Cynthia Corrie.

In my house we call her "America hating dummy, too stupid to not stand in front of bulldozers"

"In Athens they call her 'she who would not retreat',"

Why would they call her that in Athens? They HATE mooslimes in Athens, and they hate us too because we supported them on Bosnia and Kosovo. These are Orthodox countries, knowwhutImean?

(We really got the short end of the stick in the Balkans.)

The late demented Rachel Corrie teaching young children how to burn American flags.


Rachel Corrie's parents in the keep of the serial murderer of Americans who used their child to murder others.
