In the 20 years since their daughter, Rachel, was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer while protesting the demolition of a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip, Craig and Cindy Corrie have devoted their lives to her cause.
The Olympia-based couple founded the nonprofit Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice in the wake of their daughter's death. Cindy Corrie is the foundation’s president. Craig Corrie is treasurer. Together, they have traveled on interfaith peace missions to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank.
They view the current war between Israel and Hamas through a lens of their own activism, and their ongoing frustrations with U.S. policy toward the Middle East. They see a disregard for the lives of Palestinians, and discrimination against Arabs by the far-right Israeli government.

They have their beliefs and many of us sincerly disagree
--- You disagree with the fact that Palestinians deserve basic human rights? That they shouldn't have access to food, be free to conduct business, free to come and go, have electricity at all times? What an odd belief to have.
