۲۵Esfand (March 16) is the anniversary of the martyrdom of a 23-year-old American girl who was killed by an Israeli soldier to support the Palestinian nation. After the events of September 11, Rachel Corey became aware of the issue of Islam and started researching it, and finally went to Palestine with a group of her friends. While trying to prevent the destruction of a Palestinian family’s house by Israeli soldiers, Rachel Kory was run over by the Israeli army bulldozer driver and was martyred. We did research on the holy defense and the Islamic world. He is one of the first people in the country who worked on Rachel Corrie.
Rachel Corey, a 23-year-old American, traveled to the Gaza Strip on January 27, 2003. On the first night of his stay in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip with two foreign activists who They wanted to install signs that said “ international people “cause Israeli soldiers to stop shooting at Palestinian citizens. They wanted to confront the policy of “destroying houses, uprooting trees and intimidating defenseless Palestinian citizens.”.
Less than two months later, on March 16, 2003, Rachel, who was wearing a fluorescent orange cover to be easily seen, stood in the way of a bulldozer of the Zionist regime to stop the demolition of the house of a Palestinian pharmacist named Samir Nasrallah .who had met each other during this time. But the Israeli bulldozer ran over Rachel, breaking her skull, crushing her ribs and puncturing her lungs. But as if that wasn’t enough, the driver, without raising the blade of the bulldozer, went into reverse gear and ran over Rachel’s body a second time.
Maybe this driver, the Israeli army and the entire Zionist regime thought that death means the loss of Rachel Kory, which means the success of Israel, and the end of the story. But exactly the opposite, Rachel Corrie’s testimony was just the beginning of a saga. The saga that continued on several different fronts and despite the ceaseless efforts of Israel and the United States to nip it in the bud, continues to this day and this hour. We celebrate the 11th anniversary of the martyrdom of a girl named Rachel Corrie and the birth of an epic with the same name.
The first front in which Rachel Corrie’s supporters stood against the West was formed immediately after her martyrdom: Media front. The political and media organizations of America, that is, the same country where Rachel was born and grew up, are doing their best to keep Rachel Corrie unknown and forgotten as long as possible. It is enough to count how many times the image of Rachel Corrie in front of the Israeli bulldozer has been broadcast in the Western media, despite the fact that the bulldozer passed over Rachel with the support of Israel and the United States and killed her, and how many times the image of that Chinese child has appeared on TV screens. filled the West standing in front of a tank, while the tank did not run over the Chinese child, but the important thing is that the responsibility of this tank is towards someone other than America and Israel. Therefore, the heartbreaking incident that happened to Rachel Corrie is less of an image that receives media attention than a painful incident of an image.It is “ interesting “ .
On the other hand, almost no news has been published about the Israeli side of the story: The driver of the bulldozer, his commander, the commander of the Israeli army in Gaza. The Zionist regime has kept silent about the investigation of this case because it wants to protect anyone who had a hand in this case. The identities of these people are not revealed for “security reasons” and it is rare to find any writing about Israel’s defense of its action.
The second front was the legal battle that “ Craig “ and “ Cindy “ Rachel’s parents fought on this front for nine whole years, seeking their daughter’s rights and justice for her both in American and Israeli courts. At first, Israeli judges were opposed to examining the petition of Rachel Kory’s parents, claiming that she was killed accidentally and unintentionally. The “True Truth” site writes about this: “Israel’s disregard for the civil lawsuit filed by the parents of slain American activist Rachel Corey against the Israeli military sends a chilling message to all activists and their peaceful efforts around the world.
Mr. Davoodabadi, tell us how you met Rachel Corrie
Maybe a month after Rachel Cory’s martyrdom, I happened to see some of Rachel Cory’s famous letters to her mother on one of the foreign internet sites, and it was very interesting to me. But the more important issue for me was how all the American media were silent about this and we had followed the same procedure, and there is no news about Rachel Corrie and the incident that caused her testimony in the country. This issue caused me to post all the articles about Rachel Corrie in one of the official news agencies of the country where I was working at that time, and I also started a blog with her name and posted all the articles related to her. I put it This is how my attachment to Rachel Corrie was formed as a young woman who went to the point of martyrdom to confront the crime and aggression of the Zionists. An action that we rarely see in the Islamic world.
When you talk about Rachel, you use the word martyrdom.
There is a hadith from Hazrat Ali who says that I see a generous unbeliever closer to heaven than a stingy believer. Now, Rachel Corrie was not an unbeliever and she was a book lover. Rachel Corrie sacrificed love, youth and happiness to stop a criminal enmity.
The value of Rachel’s work is not just standing in front of a bulldozer. What he did, I claim, was what Shahid Fahmideh did in Khorramshahr. It is true that the Iraqis passed over the body of the martyr Fahmidah and took Khorramshahr, but he became a role model that taught that one should die to stop the aggressor.
Rachel Kory also knew that by being killed and sacrificing her life, she might not be able to stop many Israeli crimes, but she sacrificed her life. Maybe we can say that Rachel Kory, who is a Christian, has nothing to do with martyrdom and Islam, but she came to Palestine from America and sacrificed her life, which is the most valuable thing for every person, for a land and an Islamic ideal, which was one of Imam Khomeini’s goals. What Rachel Corrie did was completely Islamic. It means confronting the enemy even if it costs your life.
Finally, with very strong pressure on the Zionist regime, a court was established in the city of Haifa in the occupied territories. At the same time, according to the order of the Zionist authorities, the eyewitnesses who appear in the court testify from behind the curtain and away from the eyes of the audience and even the court judge. Such an action is very unusual and various jurists have rejected its legality: The witness must declare his testimony in the presence of the court, the judge and the plaintiffs. However, the lawyers of the accused, i.e. the bulldozer driver, stated that such an action is necessary to maintain the safety of the accused and the soldiers, and their pictures should not be published. Fortunately, this formal court, contrary to the evidence and documents of the case, and of course, as expected, voted to acquit the Zionist regime.
Frustrated with the Israeli court, Rachel’s parents turned to their own country’s judicial institutions, only to be confronted by “a powerful and extremely dry foreign policy apparatus” that “has virtually given Israel immunity, even for killing an American peace activist.” ” This sentence has only one problem: The US foreign policy apparatus has not only given Israel immunity, but has also collaborated with the Zionist regime.
Rachel Corrie was not killed only by an American-made bulldozer, but by an American-made regime that could never have committed such crimes without the comprehensive and unconditional political, military, economic and diplomatic support of Washington. The Obama administration should have not only helped Rachel’s parents seek justice, but also pursued the matter on their behalf. But for American presidents and governments, nothing and no one can stand in the way of Israel’s war machine, otherwise it will go under the American bulldozer.
After nearly ten years of effort, Rachel Curry’s father announced:“This was not the promise that the American government had given us.” His mother said after issuing this sentence:“We were definitely deeply saddened by what we heard today and what the judge said. “I think today was a bad day, not only for Rachel’s family, but for human rights, for humanity, for the rule of law, and also for Israel,” Amnesty International, the UN human rights watchdog, said.“Jimmy Carter“The former president of the United States and dozens of other institutions and individuals condemned the verdict of the American court. But what right do international organizations have to protest against America?
International organizations and security councils and other clubs, which America has taken ten of them with each hand, only fall on the heads of Muslims who, for unknown reasons, are condemned to violate human rights every day. But the American who easily acquits the murderer of a young girl among his own citizens in order not to strain his relations with the occupation regime called Israel, has no problem in continuing to claim that he defends the rights of all his citizens anywhere in the world.
But what remains in the end is the hospitality of the oppressed Palestinian people. The people who responded to Rachel’s interest with a grand ceremony that they held after her martyrdom. The day after Rachel’s martyrdom, 300 Palestinian citizens joined activists and peace activists from the United States and England at the memorial ceremony of Rachel and at the place where she was martyred. On one of the Palestinian placards it was written:“ Rachel was an American citizen with Palestinian blood.”
