Here's a link to a bunch of emails Rachel sent to her people back in Washington State over the February in the last few weeks after she got outvto Gaza in January - http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,916246,00.html

Worth reading, really worth reading. Here is just a taste:

Hi friends and family, and others,

I have been in Palestine for two weeks and one hour now, and I still have very few words to describe what I see. 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.

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. An eight-year-old was shot and killed by an Israeli tank two days before I got here, and many of the children murmur his name to me - Ali - or point at the posters of him on the walls.

No indication she was kneeling in front of the killdozer - what I've read is she was standing there with the others, on the rubble, and she may have stumbled. No point in pointing a finger at the driver. Maybe he didn't mean to kill her, maybe he did, either way he was just a pawn in the game. I imagine it won't be long and they'll have robots doing that kind of driving to cut out the chance of them thinking what they are doing. Maybe in a sense they already are using robots.
