Two Palestinians opted not to kidnap the US couple Craig and Cindy Corrie from the Rafah refugee camp Wednesday, upon learning that their daughter Rachel was killed in 2003 as she tried to stop an IDF bulldozer from razing the home of pharmacist Samir Nasrallah.
Nasrallah, who was hosting the Corries in his home, told The Jerusalem Post by telephone that the two men, one of whom had a gun, knocked on his door Wednesday morning and asked if he had internationals in his home.
"I said, 'yes,' but that this is the father and mother of Rachel Corrie," he said. At no time during the exchange was he frightened, nor was he even sure that the gun was loaded, Nasrallah said.
The men came in the house and he sent his wife to wake up the Corries. The couple had arrived the day before for an overnight visit, and were still sleeping.
Craig Corrie told the Post he was still wearing his pajamas when he walked into the living room and saw the men talking with Nasrallah.
The gun "had a big clip" and the man had it "pointed at the ground between his legs while they were talking," said Craig. They were introduced and shook hands.
"They were saying that they felt we would be safer at their house and we said we felt safe where we are," said Craig.
Since he doesn't know Arabic, portions of the conversation were translated for him.

She said some men knocked on the door of the apartment where she was staying on Tuesday night, wanting her and the few activists with her to come with them. They left only after the activists appealed for help to the Nasrallah family and to Palestinian security forces.
Becker, who had been in Rafah working with the Olympia-Rafah sister city project, said she decided it was best for her safety and for the Palestinians she was helping to leave Rafah for Israel on Wednesday.
Uh-huh.
And liberals (including this idiots parents) would take this to mean that they (Palestinians) are good, decent people. As if this girl was a martyr for their people. What this means is that someone reminded them that if they kidnapped these people, of all people, the idiots around the world support would diminish. It had nothing to do with being good.
Sometimes being the parents of a pancake is very dangerous!
There's gotta be a word for how I feel about this. I know it's wrong, but I really wish they'd kidnapped them and cut off their heads for Al-Jaz...

(To the tune of ‘Grandma got run over by a reindeer)
Rachel got run over by a dozer
Now she’s sorry that she ever took that trip.
She didn’t really think they’d run her over.
Now she’s just a damp spot on the Gaza Strip.
When Rachel got run over by a reindeer
Her parents had a great deal of despair.
Where once they'd had a lovely daughter
Now all they have are bits of bone and hair.
Feel free to add your own verses.
There! I fixed it.
Kinda let's you know what liberals consider 'good people'...
Which then leads you to realize that liberals parents will want to raise their children to BE 'good people'. At least, what they think is good people.
Frightening thought, that.
:-(
Makes me think that these idiot Darwinians brain-washed their daughter as she grew up and are RESPONSIBLE for her death.
