Rachel Corrie was a U.S. citizen and a human rights defender committed to ending Israel's illegal demolition of Palestinian homes. According to the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions, Israel has demolished an estimated 27,000 Palestinian structures in Occupied Palestinian Territory since 1967. Rachel was killed by the Israeli military with a U.S.-taxpayer funded Caterpillar D9 bulldozer on March 16, 2003, in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, while seeking to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition.
In August 2012, a civil case against the Israeli military filed by the Corrie family concluded with the presiding judge not only absolving the State of Israel of any liability, but also blaming Rachel for her own death. This is unacceptable.
Take action below by signing this petition to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging the U.S. government to conduct thorough, credible, and transparent investigations into the death of Rachel Corrie and into each case involving the death or serious injury of an American citizen by the Israeli military since 2001.
Help us and the Center for Constitutional Rights reach our goal of delivering 10,000 signatures to the State Department next month.

Wow, the U.S. cannot even investigate the murder of its own citizen because of the strength of the Isreali lobby? Pathetic...
Yes, the "all powerful" US the nation that imagines it exercises "full spectrum dominance," is afraid of its own "client state." (Chomsky's term) However, a leaked CIA document predicts Israel's fall within 15 ...now 14 years. In my opinion. Israel's terror policies no doubt will be its downfall.
Freeman, School of Advanced Military Studies, better known as SAMS, these are the Jedi Knights of our military. Washington Times September 10, 2001 front page "MOSSAD ruthless and cunning and has ability to attack US Forces and blame it on a Palestinian/Arab Attack". The next day later 9/11 happens. Israel's downfall is if they try to attack us again and blame it on an Arab "Terrorist" Attack. Israel is a Rogue Terrorist State. And, yes they tried to recruit me because I am Jewish when I was in the

Ihope the USA will take a positive step against ISRAEL for its crimes against humanity.
Rachel was killed by the Israeli military with a U.S.-taxpayer funded Caterpillar D9 bulldozer on March 16, 2003, in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, while seeking to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition.
No need to investigate about what all mankind has already seen....israel is a criminal body....world wild criminal...god bless rachel! israel can continue to lie , to kill , to thieve....everyone know that , no glory for such criminals....it can frighten but what respect can anyone have for killers?
It is definitely an act of brutality against an innocent young Jewish lady who genuinely felt the segregational, inhumane and unspeakable treatment of the Israelis against the innocent and armless people of Palestine. She actually realized that the Palestinians are the actual and real owners of the land of Palestine, not those who came from different parts of the world and illegally declared that the Land of Palestine was their home land as promised by “God.”.
Zionism is an evil racist ideology that lies about its nuclear weaponry and murdered Rachel Corrie who cared about the fate of Palestinians
The killing of an American citizen by Israeli Zionists is no excuse for not conducting an independent investigation and putting the findings before the public.
This petition shows the real face of Israel,and i hope that eveybody will sign this petition as well .Rachel Corrie will be alive in our hearts Forever <3
