According to this link, these eyewitnesses are hardly impartial...they are members of the same group that Rachel Corrie was involved in called the ISM which has supported and continues to support violent resistance by terrorist groups.
And also that she was not run over by a bulldozer but was hit by debris.
Finally that said bulldozer was not destroying homes but tunnels used to smuggle weapons and terrorists inside.

Ever the mouthpiece of the Israeli government  .
How about some eyewitness accounts?

| Eye-witnesses to the murder insist that this is totally untrue. Rachel was sitting in the path of the bulldozer as it advanced towards her. When the bulldozer refused to stop or turn aside she climbed up onto the mound of dirt and rubble being gathered in front of it wearing a fluorescent jacket to look directly at the driver who kept on advancing. The bulldozer continued to advance so that she was pulled under the pile of dirt and rubble. After she had disappeared from view the driver kept advancing until the bulldozer was completely on top of her. The driver did not lift the bulldozer blade and so she was crushed beneath it. Then the driver backed off and the seven other ISM activists taking part in the action rushed to dig out her body. An ambulance rushed her to A-Najar hospital where she died. |

As pointed out these eyewitnesses are biased and hardly impartial. |

| China and Cuba don't like HRW either. Seems like they have all the right detractors. |

As opposed to that bastion of impartiality, the Israeli government. |
