"The artistic director of a New York theatre
Cancelled a play based on Rachel's writings
But she wasn't a bomber or a killer or fighter
But one who acted in the spirit of the Freedom Riders
Is there no place for a voice in America
That doesn't conform to the Fox News agenda?
Who believes in non-violence instead of brute force
Who is willing to confront the might of an army
Whose passionate beliefs were matched by her bravery
The question she asked rings out round the world
If America is truly the beacon of freedom
Then how can it stand by while they bring down the curtain
And turn Rachel Corrie into a non-person?"
Robert Zimmerman

"One less conflict tourist
Happy Days are here again
One less obstacle to peace
Happy days are here again
One less western know nothing do gooder
Happy Days are here again
One less Jew hater pretending to care
Happy Days are here again"
Paul Mcartney
