The Story of Rachel Corrie: Israel's Guilt On Stage

The Off Broadway play " My Name is Rachel Corrie" , which is based on her notes and journal, is opening at the Minetta Lane Theater in Greenwich Village. It will run from October 5, 2005 through November 19, 2005.

This play is about the Jewish/American protester who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer on March 16, 2003 in Gaza. She was protesting the Israeli policy of demolishing Palestinian homes. To this day her killers have not been charged.

The play was originally to have opened in March of this year. But members of Jewish lobbies stopped the play because of it's negative view of Israel. Israel is a rogue state that doesn't obey U.N. laws ( in spite of being created by a rigged U.N. vote in 1947) .It also largely ignores normal human customs, I.E. it demolishes homes and kills innocent bystanders in the administration of it's policy of collective punishment of Palestinians. In these actions it reminds of similar Nazi tactics that were used against Jews in Germany.
