The Rachel Corrie page needs serious revision else Wikipedia becomes a propaganda arm/ The recent Corrie trial brought out the following facts: 1) Corrie was not protecting a house the day she was killed. The IDF was not demolishing any houses that day and was clearing weapons smuggling tunnels in the area 2) A videotape of her being struck shows no house behind her 3) Corrie wrote home to her mother that she had retrieved the dead body of a terrorist in an open field under orders from Mohamed Qishta. Her mother in an interview on Indymedia said Corrie wrote to her she had retrieved dead bodies from inside one of the weapons smuggling tunnels. 4) Corrie praised the "martyrs" terrorists and supported their violence against Israelis. 5) Palestinian waterwells was a euphemism for weapons tunnels underground. The IDF had no reason to attack water wells since Israel provides water to Gaza and "Palestinian municpal water workers" were not such but in fact terrorists fighint tthe IDF. If water employees needed to work on wells they could coordinate with the IDF commander. Corrie was being a human shield for the tunnels. 6)Joseph Carr mentioned in the article doctored several photos to portray Corrie as protecting a house. This was proven on many occasions. 7) Carr was not called as a witness because he fabricated evidence. In an interview with journalist Lee Kaplan recorded and given the court he admitted he and Rachel Corrie were there to draw sniper fire down on IDF soldiers.
The article at present is a fluff piece of propaganda for the ISM and needs many revisions.
