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.

@AlanDawsonSport@paddyb_ireland@mickconlan11 and Paddy's wife all blocked me back in the day when I called them out as hypocrites for being pals with Ireland's number 1 drug dealer.

The disrespect to Mickey Joe Harte should be enough to get their ambassador summoned to Leinster House. 'We got the world tonight' was/is an absolute banger. Pricks
The absolute state of #balbriggan beach. Shame on everyone who has helped this managed decline of our town's biggest asset. Fenced in weeds because of a few environmental nutters. Well done 👏
