Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) presents:

The Crisis in Palestine
A talk by Dr. Elizabeth Corrie (cousin of murdered US peace activist
Rachel Corrie)

On March 16, 2003, an Israeli soldier and his commander ran
over and murdered Rachel Corrie with a nine-ton Caterpillar bulldozer while she stood -
unarmed, clearly visible in her orange fluorescent jacket -
protecting a Palestinian home slated for demolition by the Israeli
army.

"The death of Rachel Corrie, and the response that her case has
- and has not - received, reveal several disturbing, indeed immoral
and criminal, truths."

Elizabeth will be speaking in Dublin on Thursday 17th June, 7.30pm, Wynn's Hotel, Abbey Street, Dublin 1
