Finally someone is taking legal action for the murder of Rachel Corrie. I hope the executives of Caterpiller go to prison for a long time for selling equipment to terrorist nations (Israel).

ReplyDeleteTo accomplish anything, we must cut off US financial support for these terrorists - American tax dollars are currently paying for the bullets that killed the activist Tom Hurndall and thirteen-year-old girl Iman Hamas, the rockets that blow up Palestinian houses, and bulldozers like the one that killed Rachel Corrie.
