Stop the attacks on Gaza by contacting Senators Murray and Cantwell now
Please contact your Congress members and/or Senators to urge them to use their power to bring a stop to Israel’s inhumane pressure on the civilians of Gaza. (This call to action is from the Response Network of the Palestine Solidarity Committee — Seattle)
Gaza under extreme pressure, seige
We are sending you this alert to ask you to take action with regard to the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In recent weeks Israel has intensified its ongoing punitive campaign and blockade against the population of Gaza by cutting off fuel supplies, and by daily bombing of the territory, resulting in the deaths of dozens of civilians. The cutoffs have created a dire situation, with severe shortages of food, medicine, and other essentials. With Gaza’s only power plant in danger of being shut off, hospitals are working in the dark and without crucial supplies, forced to decide whose life to save, and whose to sacrifice. Israel’s treatment of Gaza amounts to collective punishment on the scale of a crime against humanity.
The Road to Damascus: Mideast Observations
Bonnie Brodersen and Gene Robbins, aunt and uncle to Rachel Corrie, traveled the Middle East in late 2007 with their daughter Emily Robbins, visiting Syria, the occupied Palestinian territories, Israel and Lebanon. These are Gene’s observations.
By Gene Robbins
Two things make this trip different from our two-week stay in Syria two years ago – Emmy’s superb fluency in Arabic and getting out of Damascus for more than just day trips.
We spent 10/19 eating at courtyard restaurants in the Old City of Damascus with Syrian friends (families) of Emily. These courtyards are huge open-air areas originally designed so that women could be outdoors and yet not have to go out in public. [Read more…]
Rachel Corrie
Rachel Corrie was a 23-year-old American peace activist from Olympia, Washington, who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer on 16 March 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition.
Since her killing, an enormous amount of solidarity activities have been carried out in her name around the world.
Rachel’s journals and emails from her time in Palestine are available in a variety of forms. They have been published in books, turned into plays and dramatic readings, and used around the internet. They are not always reproduced in their entirety and we have collected them here, un-cut, for easier reading. Read Rachel’s emails from Palestine.
I should at least mention that I am also discovering a degree of strength and of basic ability for humans to remain human in the direst of circumstances – which I also haven’t seen before. I think the word is dignity. I wish you could meet these people. Maybe, hopefully, someday you will.

Theater notes
New York Times
It’s fitting that “THE CLEAN HOUSE” and “MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE” start performances on Thursday, since each play, in very different ways, raises the same question: What took so long?
Rachel’s Words
“Rachel’s Words” was an event that took place on March 22, 2006 at Riverside Church in New York City to in response to the postponement of the New York Theater Workshop’s production of “My Name is Rachel Corrie.” The play was scheduled to open at the New York Theatre Workshop on March 22nd but was “postponed indefinitely” due to political pressures. The “Rachel’s Words” movement was made up of a broad spectrum of groups and individuals who believed that Rachel’s words and her message of human rights and justice should be heard.
