40. was it publicized though?
Maybe in the international press, but the incident very quickly sank out of sight from American mainstream attention (where opinion matters to Israel). They even put Rachel's killer back on the job, an event which was entirely ignored in the US media.

I agree that questions remain as to official involvement of the state - however, I think we should also consider the attack on Brian Avery and the killing of Tom Hurndall, two more incidents involving ISM members, which both occurred within a month of Rachel's murder. And look, I know it appears inflammatory to talk about "Israel's murder of Rachel Corrie" but the fact is that she was killed by an operator of a military bulldozer, and in any other circumstance, that does fall under the responsibility of the state - does it not?
