Goodbye Rachel, Your memory will live in our hearts forever....
In this Post i chose to upload 2 videos. One video of an interview with rachel, describing what she was doing in Gazza, being a peace activist, as well as the difficulties that she and palestinians faced everyday of their lives, therefore showing the reader that the israeli army does not only target "terrorists" but each and everyone living in Gazza, and therefore encouraging them to feel sympathatic towards the cause. after that, i chose to upload a music video dedicated for Rachel. the music video also gives the reader a sense of sorrow towards her. The musician also sings about how unfortunate it is that the whole world shows sympathy when an american dies, while hardly anyone cares when palestinian children and families die every day.
