I read an editorial by Katherine Viner in The Guardian. Her goal seems to be turning Rachel Corrie into a secular saint.

If you goal is to end the Israeli occupation, then I don't think that Jimmy Carter or Katherine Viner have done anything that will end the occupation one day earlier.

"Did this Rachel Levy give her life trying to help others? Or did she die in the process of dispossessing those weaker than her?"

I don't know who this Rachel Levy was, but just because she was an Israeli Jew, you are assuming that her life was less important. Just because she was Israeli Jew, you think she died in the process of dispossessing those weaker than her. You have put a bullseye on all Israeli Jews and you think that they deserve it.
