Can you think of a better way to honour the memory of Rachel Corrie? I'm not talking about writing a check.... I'm talkng about going to Gaza as a part of a team that will rebuild the hundreds of homes destroyed during the Israeli blitzkrieg. I'm talking about honouring the blessed memory of Rachel Corrie who was murdered on March 16, 2003 by the same monsters that destroyed those homes. I am proposing an ‘army' of volunteers to contact the International Solidarity Committee to see what you can do....
Let's call it the Rachel Corrie Solidarity Brigade. What better way is there to spend your winter breaks?

Pacifism is defeatism and collaboration. Palestinians have the right to
use all legitimate means to protect themselves and gain liberty, including
violence.
I tried the links you provided here for “contact us,”travel info,” and the “training program.” All three were listed as “Not Found,” or “under maintenance.” Gee, I guess I’m just paranoid, but do you suppose someone doesn’t want people to reach those links? Just a thought. Naaaaa, couldn’t be!
@James – I’m not sure what is wrong. I just contacted the webmaster there and will update you once I get an answer.
