From the news: Corrie, 23, a student at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, died Sunday in the Gaza Strip city of Rafah while trying to stop a bulldozer from tearing down a Palestinian physician’s home. She fell in front of the machine, which ran over her and backed up, witnesses said.

Who was the physician who house the bulldozer was destroying?

His name was in the news but I forget

What was the crime the doctor had convicted for that his house being destroyed?

I don't know. Rafah is a Gaza refugee camp right on the Egyptian border. There are many tunnels used for arms smuggling and Israel is often down there demolishing tunnels and arresting gun smugglers. There's often gunfire. Houses have been condemned/demolished that have been used for arms smuggling

Egypt turns a blind eye to this weapons smuggling. There are allegations the Egyptian army assists it.

The doctor's house was empty, vacated, on the list to be demolished. Not all doctors are angels. Dr. Rantisi is the head of Hamas.

"Dr. Rantisi is the head of Hamas."

That's a very important point. They don't just bulldoze houses, because it's cool. They bulldoze them, because they housed killers and their associates. The media won't mention this. This nitwit was attempting to stand in the way of the destruction of the Hamas leaders den. She was their ally and supporter of the homicide bombing campaign.
