Rachel was defending a Palestinian home threatened with destruction when the crew of the American made IDF (Israel Defense Forces) bulldozer maneuvered the massive vehicle into her path. Most members of the Nasrallah family, whom at the time consisted of 4 adults and 5 children were in the home and some watched the bulldozer run over Rachel through a crack in the garden wall. There were 7 international eyewitnesses to Rachel's killing from the U.K. and U.S.A. Since Caterpillar corporation has been on notice that their equipment is used for ongoing human rights violations in Palestine, breaking international and US law, supporters of the late activist hold CAT complicit in her death. BACKGROUND from the Center for Constitutional Rights, Washington DC Since its occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip following the 1967 war, Israel has destroyed more than 12,000 Palestinian homes in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). Offering various rationales for the home demolitions, including the need to create "buffer zones" in the OPT, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has in fact engaged in a broad-reaching program of collective punishment. Through home demolitions, "demographic engineering" is underway: Palestinian populations are forced to move from areas deemed strategic or of interest to Israel, and displaced from the agricultural land where they and their ancestors have lived and off of which they have made their livelihoods. The IDF continues to demolish homes in proximity to the wall, and for alleged military and police purposes. Much of the world community, including the United Nations, the United States, and human rights organizations, has consistently condemned these demolitions. The Security Council has called on Israel not to undertake home demolitions in violation of international humanitarian law (S/Res/1544 (2004)). In addition to forcibly displacing more than 50,000 civilians, home demolitions have injured or killed Palestinian civilians, including Plaintiffs in the case: Corrie, et al., v. Caterpillar, Inc.
