Rachael Corrie Street In Tehran by Brendon O'Connell

American Rachael Corrie was killed by an Israeli Defense Force bulldozer in Gaza, on March 16, 2003. The Iranian people named a street after her in Tehran. I visited there in January 2017 just after the street march for the funeral of former president Rafsanjani. The street is hard to find, just down the road from the Australian embassy. It is the only street on Google Maps that does not have the English language translation of the name out of Farsi, now why would that be? I was surprised to find there are no other video's or pictures of people visiting the street. If there are, please let me know. The IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands also has a street named after him in Tehran.

The following is by Mark R. Elsis.

Between March 16, 2003 and May 2, 2003, the following four young people from the United States and Britain were all brutally attacked by Israel. Three of them were murdered, the fourth who was shot in the face, lived. Were these premeditated attacks to send a strong message, and scare other young people from helping the Palestinians?

"I should at least mention that I am also discovering a degree of strength and of basic ability for humans to remain human in the direst of circumstances – which I also haven’t seen before. I think the word is dignity. I wish you could meet these people. Maybe, hopefully, someday you will."
