did anyone draw a parallel between Rachel Corrie and Neda?
both girls die fighting injustices. one is mocked and forgotten, whilst the latter is lauded for her courage.
taking nothing away from Neda, it is honourable to fight any injustice. However, till now, we dont know the extent to which she partook in the activism. and the media is playing it up to their advantage.
Rachel Corrie on the other hand was crushed by an israeli D9 excavator and was the front line in the fight against the injustices she saw. she was championed by the arabs alone.
young women with eeringly similar stories. both treated in vastly differnt lights.
