Rachel Corrie, Edward W. Said

イスラエル軍のブルドーザーにひき殺されたRachel Corrie が参加していたボランティア団体“International Solidarity Movement” (ISM) のウェブサイトを見つけた。研修予定は７月31日までしか掲載されておらず、今後も定期的にチェックしていきたい。サポートグループには欧米の団体しかない。イスラム大国のインドネシア、マレーシアなど、アジアは何をしているのか。

けさ早く（31日）、“From Oslo to Iraq: and the Road Map” を終えた。Afterword (Wadie E. Said): Indeed, it still pains me to remember that in his last full day of consciousness and alertness, prior to succumbing to his illness, my father was overcome by emotion because he felt that he had not done enough for the Palestinians. All present at this extraordinary scene were dumbfounded: if Edward Said had not done enough for Palestine, then what have we done? That will have to be answered by the present and coming generations, but our overwhelming sense of loss is matched by our immense affection and gratitude for his trailblazing example. (p 302)
