I don’t really share that sentiment.

Maybe the worst part of the tragedy is the complete martyr that she’s become. I’ll never forget during that time, especially when they were putting on plays about it, the story of The Forgotten Rachels. Tom Gross talks about it here.

At the bottom of that are Rachel Corrie’s parents receiving a portrait of her by none other than the father of terrorism himself, Arafat.

Your argument boils down to “she’s not a complex human being because of all this shit these other people have done since her death.” I’m not buying it. You can separate the human being from the myth if you want to.
