"My Name is Rachel Corrie"
A Debate Over Why the Play is Not Opening in New York

"My Name is Rachel Corrie" - a play based on the words of the American peace activist crushed to death three years ago by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza - is causing controversy after the New York City theater that was scheduled to run it postponed production.

Corrie Rachel Name My

I think the theatre's postponment of this play is a disgrace. Rachel was murdered for trying to defend the home of human being. She was an advocate of peace and humanity, crushed to death by people who obviously weren't. I have never seen anyone accounted for this hideous, deliberate crime.

This story must be told and I am amazed that this sort of political censorship would occur in a theatre in the US of all places. If Rachel had been crushed by an Iraqi bulldozer would this censorship take place?

7 Years After Killing, Family of Slain US Peace Activist Rachel Corrie Heads to Israel for Wrongful Death Suit Against Israeli Gov't

Rachel Corrie, a twenty-three-year-old student from Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington, was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza seven years ago as she stood before a Palestinian home facing demolition. Today, a trial opens in Israel in a lawsuit brought by Corrie's family against the Israeli government. The eyewitness testimony is expected to challenge Israel's version of events with evidence that she was clearly visible to the soldiers, standing before the bulldozer in her florescent orange jacket. We spend the hour with Rachel Corrie's family: her father Craig, her mother Cindy, and her sister Sarah. Ref. Source 2
