Remembering The Brave: Rachel Corrie

August 2, 2026

Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American peace activist, was killed by an Israeli military bulldozer while standing as a human shield to protect a Palestinian family’s home from demolition.

In 2003, Rachel left the comfort of her home in Olympia, Washington, to stand in the dust of Rafah. She didn’t just talk about justice; she lived it, ultimately sacrificing her life to protect civilians she had never met. Though she was buried in the same sand she tried to defend, her voice has never been silenced.

Today, her parents, Craig and Cindy, carry on her courageous legacy, having spent decades transforming their grief into an unwavering struggle for Palestinian human rights. Rachel’s spirit remains an eternal flame for all who believe that love and justice are worth everything.

May God have mercy on you, Rachel. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Even after the rain, the sun is always reflected in every drop.
So too, hope always lives in the hearts of a people who cherish their memory, their land, and their love.

On her facebook page she says:

I narrate “the life, traditions and memory of the Palestinian people through my art.”

The painting is incredible in the use of color, painting and detail, itching out a buzzing community around Jerusalem even under the bright rain. The imagination is stark but realistic
