Tıpkı Rachel Corrie gibi, o da bir karakter olsa da vicdanının sesini dinler her daim. Anti-Kahramandır ikisi de. Tek farkla. Behzat Ç. bir karakterdir ve hiç yaşamadığı için asla ölmeyecektir. Rachel Corrie ise yaşamış ve vicdanının sesini dinlediği için hiç ölmeyecektir.

namert, alçak düzen içerisinde bulunmak yerine bu düzene karşı durmuştur. düzen onu dozer gibi ezmek istesede o şerefli duruşuyla geri adım atmamış düzene boyun eğmemiştir. zafer kazandığını düşünen alçak düzen bıyık altından sırıtırken o düzene cevap vermeye bile tenezzül etmemiş ruhunu özgürlüğe salıvermiştir. ruhu şad olsun, bu kahpe düzene lanet olsun.
israil buldozerleri altında kalmış cesur insandır.
yüzyılımızın gerçek kahramanıdır.
"insan" kelimesinin karşılığıdır.
"vicdan" kelimesinin vücut bulmuş halidir.
rachel corrie demek zulme karşı çığlık demektir.
bunun için gazze'ye giden yardım gemilerinden birinin adının rachel corrie olması ayrı bir anlam taşıyor.
Hikayesini okudukca insanlıktan ve insanlığımdan utandığım güzel insan. Başka insanların acılarına ortak olmayı daha küçücük bir kızken kafasına koymuş Amerikadan filistine acı çeken insanların yanında durmaya gelmiş ve sonunda Filistinli birilerinin evleri yıkılmasın diye zırhlı buldozerin önüne kendini siper etmiş ve ezilerek ölmüştür. Annesine bir mektubunda rüyalarında amerikadaki evinin kendisi ve annesi içerideyken dozerle yıkıldığını gördüğünü yazmıştır.Dün dozerle ezildiği yere bugün koca bir yardım gemisi olarak gidecektir... Allah rahmet eylesin...
hayatımda unutmadığım olaylardan biri. tek hatırldığım üzerindeki filistin bayrakları ve israille etiği küfürlerdi. evet bende kızıyorum kim kime zulüm ederse, israilede kızıyorum. israillilerde yahudilerde sütten çıkma ak kaşık değiller. ama şunu unutmamak gerek israile saldıran herkesin yumruk yedikten sonra önlerinde 10larca ayağa kalkma şansı var. israilin bu şansı yok çok fazla yaralanmış ve şu anda dünya üzerinde görülmemiş bir başarıyla ayakta durabilen bir toplum. barış isteyenleri bir elinde de israil bayrağı olmalı. aksi halde israil bir anne gibi yavrularını korumaya ne pahasına olursa olsun devam edecektir.
gencecik bir kahraman kız. onun yaptığını ben yapar mıydım acaba? diye düşünüldüğünde, cevaplar acı verici ve onu yüceltici olmalı. umarım onun anısına saygı duyarlar. ama yok daha bugün israilli bir şerefsiz çıkıp, onun adını taşıyan gemiye de izin vermiycez dedi.
Dundalk Limanı'ndan demir alan ve halen Gazze yolunda olduğu bildirilen yardım gemisi "Rachel Corrie" ile irtibatın kesildiği haberi an itibariyle ajanslara düşmüştür. israil'in sabotaj düzenlediğinden bahsediliyor.
radical groups are hijacking her name for their purposes.

international activists are at it again. a nine-ship flotilla of peace activists is on its way from turkey, greece and other european countries toward the gaza strip, laden with left-wingers and a variety of goods to supplement those available to gaza residents. this represents the latest effort by a radical group known as the free gaza movement (fgm). in an attempt to galvanize support and sympathy, and achieve a better result than the three earlier abortive attempts, the group has chosen to name the lead ship the rachel corrie.
for those who dont recall, rachel corrie was a 23-year-old american student activist killed in a tragic accident in 2003 while attempting to block an idf bulldozer.
corrie arrived in israel as part of an independent study program during her senior year at evergreen state college. it was there that corrie first heard of going to gaza with the loosely affiliated assortment of left-wing radicals known as the international solidarity movement (ism). evergreens faculty also displayed gross negligence in allowing her to spend a semester abroad, for course credit, in the west bank and gaza during the height of the second intifada. after a mere two days of ism training, corrie and her fellow activist trainees were sent to the rafah crossing, described by idf spokesman capt. jacob dellal as the most dangerous area in the west bank and gaza.
ironically however, corrie is perhaps a more apt reference than the fgm organizers realize. the tragedy of her death is that it was completely avoidable. moreover, her behavior, flouting local and international law, raises the question of what role, if any, small groups of extremist activists have in interfering in the counterterrorism measures of a democratic state.
despite dishonest testimony by the ism, subsequent developments revealed that the driver of the bulldozer likely couldnt even see corrie. the most startling discovery was the recklessness of the ism in dealing with its volunteers. they were encouraged to prevent the demolition of buildings and smuggling tunnels by using their bodies as shields against trucks and bulldozers. although the volunteers were provided with visibility vests and megaphones, it was only a matter of time before the folly of the ism led to catastrophic results.
if playing chicken with cars is suicidal, doing so with an armored bulldozer, more difficult to control and with less visibility, borders on insanity. yet that is exactly what the ism advocated, while making sure to record all their encounters for use in the event of just such an accident. as one of corries colleagues stated, several times we had to dive away at the last moment in order to avoid being crushed. this continued for about two and a half hours.
while this may not have been exactly what evergreen college envisioned as corries independent study, the ism was complicit in these dangerous antics, having promoted activism that would more directly challenge the israeli military.
the ism views its volunteers as pawns in a political game, fully aware that some gambits require the loss of a pawn. corries death, a terrible accident for the idf, became a propaganda weapon for the ism.
ism is an organization that recognizes a palestinian right to resistance via legitimate armed struggle. its accolades include preventing idf demolition of bomb-making factories and weapons-smuggling tunnels as well as the aiding, abetting and protecting of terrorists. in addition, the ism also encouraged confrontational, reckless resistance by its international volunteers.
in 2002, in the midst of a violent takeover of the church of the nativity in bethlehem by palestinian terrorists, 10 ism members ran in to act as human shields. the same year as corries death, a popular bar in tel aviv, mikes place, was attacked by two suicide bombers who had had tea with ism members only five days earlier.
the isms behavior is typical of such radical groups. purporting to protect human rights, they are often callous toward human life in general. what legitimacy is warranted by ngos that have no respect for the lives of their volunteers?
additionally, these groups fail to recognize that israel abides by both local and international law. it has a well-developed judicial system, with the authority and will to limit its executive and legislative branches, one that has already delineated israels commitments, obligations and rights in gaza. the potential harm to local interests and stability caused by the audacious interference of a handful of people from other continents is tremendous. individuals in europe or north america may read about the plight of palestinians in gaza and wish to help, but chartering boats to sail to foreign waters is a misguided effort.
to promote their personal delusions, the ism and fgm neglect any legal, judicial, diplomatic or otherwise politically palatable routes. while their personal risks are less than those taken by activists illegally entering iran, north korea or china, they still choose to waste public and private resources while violating domestic and international law.
the rachel corrie ironically represents a seaborne version of the organizational callousness and disregard that led to rachel corries death in 2003. with such dubious priorities, these activists continue to be a part of the problem, not a legitimate attempt at a peaceful solution. instead of being embarrassed by their role in corries death, these radical groups are hijacking her name for their current efforts to help hamas dominate gaza.
o bir yürek. yüreği insanlık için adalet için hak için çarpan bir yürek. 23 yaşında kanından olmayan insanları savunduğu için bir israil buldozeri altında kalan bir evlat, bir sevgili ve herşeyden önce çok kişinin yapamadığını yapan gerçek bir örnek.
