sending back
emails to her parents i have been in
palestine for two weeks
and one hour now and i still have very
few words to describe what i see
[Music]
it is most difficult for me to think
about what's going on here when i sit
down to write back to the united states
something about the virtual portal into
luxury
[Music]
i don't know if many of the children
here have ever existed
without tank shell holes in their walls
and the towers of an occupying army
surveying them constantly from the near
horizons
i think although i'm not entirely sure
that even the smallest of these children
understand
that life is not like this everywhere
it was a sunday
afternoon in charlotte about noon
actually
and i received a phone call and my
son-in-law kelly was on the phone
and he asked if craig was there
and something about the way he asked
made me realize
i felt right away that something was
wrong and then i asked why kelly
and he hesitated for a minute and he
said we've had some very sad news
and then my daughter sarah i could hear
her in the background
and she got on the telephone and she
said
mom it's rachel and
i think the first words out of my mouth
then were is she dead
[Music]
we were opposing the demolition
of farmland and other property
palestinian property by
israelis destruction forces
bulldozer drove up and it kept going and
she tried to move back
but she couldn't move back and she got
caught underneath
she got hot underneath the bulldozer
many other internationals began to
surround the bulldozer and yell at it
and tell us that there's somebody there
and it did not stop
[Music]
where rachel was killed she was
protecting the doctor's home and that's
important to realize it
and the three children and his wife she
knew that family and
that doctor felt that rachel was like a
daughter
to him he bought that house it was the
middle of a neighborhood there were
other rows of houses between his house
and the border
those other homes those other streets
were all destroyed and now is history
and i've had people say well she was in
a war zone and cindy points out that war
zone is people's
it's people's neighborhoods those are
children
