Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

Buku bagus: sejarah tentang Israel kuno yg berkembang sebagai diskursus utama (orthodoxy) di kalangan akademis Barat selama ini lebih banyak dibentuk dan dipengaruhi oleh “Biblical studies”, sehingga kajian tentang Israel terlalu dominan sehingga menyingkirkan kajian tentang Palestina kuno sebagai wilayah yg lebih besar.
Buku ini (terbit sudah cukup lama; 1997) mencoba “menantang” ortodoksi akademis ini.
The UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, says the cost of rebuilding Gaza should be paid not only by Israel but also by the US, Germany, Italy and the UK, as they are the main arms suppliers to Israel.
