The resolution calling to investigate the unfortunate death of Rachel Corrie that is being circulated in the House is unacceptably one-sided.
The investigation should be expanded to look into the circumstances of death of Marla Bennett, an American college student slaughtered by Palestinian terror bombing at Hebrew University in Jerusalem almost two years ago, and a call to investigate the deaths of four American civilians murdered as they drove through the Gaza Strip attempting to interview Palestinians for Fulbright scholarships.
I urge you to consider expanding it also to investigate the organization to which Rachel belonged, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). While the ISM officially claims their members don't engage in violence, the organization leaders have stated that "violence is legitimate for those who choose to use it". Organizations like Hamas and Hizbollah have been deemed terrorist groups by our government. We must learn about any assistance that ISM provided them and prevent this from happening in the future.
Did you know that only a few days before Rachel Corrie was accidentally killed, she was photographed by USA Today burning the American Flag in front of Palestinian children?
