  • In memory of

    RACHEL CORRIE, 23, OF OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON, U.S.A.,killed by an IDF bulldozer March 16, 2003, as she

    nonviolently tried to prevent it from demolishing thehome of a Palestinian doctor in Rafah refugee camp, Gaza.

    IDF: Israel Defense Forces, the overarching name for Israelsstate military branches, including the army, navy and air force.

    SETTLEMENT: A colony for Jews only built in Palestinianlands occupied by Israel since 1967, and declared illegal byUnited Nations resolutions.

    SETTLER: A resident of an Israeli settlement.

    REFUGEE CAMP: A United Nations-administered camp forregistered Palestinian refugees from the 1947-8 and 1967 wars.

    INCURSION: An Israeli military operation into Palestinian-ad-ministered areas designated as Area A under the 1993 Oslo accords.

    CHILDRENS NAMES: Sources generally report an Israelichilds given and family name, while Palestinian children fre-

    quently are reported with four names due to the significance ofthese names in Arab culture.

    Because Palestinian names indicate a childs paternal lin -eage, four names are reported here, whenever possible, for eachPalestinian child: the first is the childs given name, the secondthe fathers name, and the third the paternal grandfathersname. The fourth, when reported, is usually the family name,but in some cases may be the name of the childs paternal great-grandfather. These four names not only locate the child histori-cally, and many times physically, but also indicate that the re-porting source is a more reliable one.

    PLACE NAMES: Unless otherwise specified, cities, townsand settlements are located in the West Bank. Gaza refers to theGaza Strip.

    I really cant believe that something like this can happen in the world without a bigger outcry about it.... This has to stop. I think it is a good idea for us all to dropeverything and devote our lives to making this stop.

    Rachel Corrie, an International Solidarity Movement volunteer, in a February 7, 2003 e-mail message from Rafah to her parents, Craig and Cindy Corrie.

  • IN ANY CONFLICT, the death of innocentnoncombatants is deplorable, and lamentedby all. It is the death of children, however,that troubles us the most, for children areseen to be innocent in a way adults are not.

    From September 29, 2000, when the cur-rent Palestinian intifada erupted, throughMarch 27, 2007, at least 927 Palestinian and118 Israeli youths under the age of 18 werekilled in Israel and the occupied Palestinianterritories. Thousands more have been in-jured, many permanently.

    Remember These Children lists eachof these 1,045 deaths. Arranged chronologi-cally by date of death, each entry includes thechilds name, hometown, how the child waskilled and, where available, the nature of thefatal injury. The documentation, thoughpainful, conveys the personal reality of theseterrible statistics. The waste of human lifeof hope and future promiseis almost toogreat to contemplate.

    Too many of these children died in thecourse of what should have been normalchildhood pleasuresplaying soccer, eatingpizza, shopping for candy, or going to or fromschool. Others were at home, looking outtheir window, eating dinner or playing intheir front yard.

    Even infants and the unborn have notbeen spared. In two days in February 2002,three pregnant women were shot: two Pales-tinian women trying to pass the same Israelicheckpoint to reach the hospital in Nablus,and an Israeli woman in the Gush Etzion set-tlement bloc. According to a September 2005report by the Palestinian Ministry of Health,the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA),UNRWA and the World Health Organization(WHO), more than 68 pregnant Palestinianwomen had to give birth at Israeli check-points since the beginning of the current in-tifada, leading to 34 miscarriages and thedeaths of four women.

    Few of the children on these pages pre-sented a danger to their killers, whether thelatter were Israeli soldiers or Palestinian mil-

    itants. We extend our deepest sympathy to thefamilies of every child who has been killed.

    While it is not possible to reclaim theselives lost to their families and to the world, itis all the more imperative to ensure that nomore Palestinian and Israeli children meet asimilar fate. Nor is it sufficient simply to keepthese imperiled children alive. Many are suf-fering psychological trauma, and, according toShafik Masalha, a clinical psychologist at TelAviv University, some 15 percent of Palestin-ian children say they want to become mar-tyrs. I believe that the motives are the terri-ble lives that the children live daily, Masalhasaid. This should be a warning not only to Is-raeli but also to Palestinian society [about]what they are doing to the next generation.

    We ask you to add your voice to the call foran end to the killing of children, for a justpeace in the region, for a fair resolution tothe Palestinian-Israeli conflict. You mightwish to call for an end to Israels illegal occu-pation since 1967 of land acquired by force.Or you might invoke international law, U.N. reso lutions or the Geneva Conventions. At thevery least you might wish to support the de-

    ployment of international observers in the region. We are confident that, in your ownway, you will want to help save these childrenwhom the world appears to have forsaken.
