Hello readers,     Rachel Corrie   Rachel is one of those young ladies  beautiful inside and out   Once a young girl  knew along that she cares about the people  In college, yet old enough to volunteer her time  she went to visit Gaza   With other activists  she protested for resources  for those having homes demolished   She lived with these people  learning the culture  writing her thoughts   But Israel doesn't care  if she's American, she's protesting for Palestinians  they ran over and killed her  with a bulldozer   We will remember the injustice  but more than that  we will remember Rachel  for the work she's done, the love she has  as her spirit lives on   I guess we all have a little Rachel Corrie in us  we just have to be more active  fighting for her and the Palestinians.   {written 2:00 p.m. Aug 28, 2012}   Love,   Fida Islaih   This poem is now published in Her Olives .   
Let your heart heal.
