''My Name is Rachel Corrie'' is a play based on the diaries and emails of Rachel Corrie, edited by Alan Rickman, who directed it, and journalist Katharine Viner. Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American Evergreen State College student and member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She was killed by a Caterpillar D9R armored bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) while protesting against the destruction of a house by the IDF in the Gaza Strip, apparently acting as a human shield.〔(The Death of Rachel Corrie Joshua Hammer Mother Jones )〕〔("American peace activist killed by army bulldozer in Rafah" Haaretz March 18, 2003 )〕〔(Gaza's tunnel economy stumbles )〕〔(Israeli Army Bulldozer Kills American Protesting in Gaza ) New York Times, March 17, 2003〕 The details of the events surrounding Corrie's death, as she stood between an Israeli bulldozer and a Palestinian home, which allegedly contained a tunnel used for smuggling weapons from Egypt,〔Wenig, Gaby. (Human Rights Activists or Aids to Terrorists? ), The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles 2003-09-12〕 are disputed. While an Israeli military investigation ruled the death to be an accident, the ISM maintains that Corrie was run over deliberately. In 2012 The Haifa District Court ruled in a lawsuit filed by Corrie's parents that her death was an accident, and rejected the claim that Israel was at fault over the death.〔Pleitgen, Frederik.

However, the New York theatre decided that, because of its political content, the play was to be "postponed indefinitely", after the artistic director polled numerous Jewish groups to get their reaction to the play.〔 〕 Rickman and Viner denounced the decision and withdrew the show.〔(thenation.com )〕〔(counterpunch.org )〕 The play ran as a commercial production at the Minetta Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village in the fall of 2006.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Name Is Rachel Corrie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
