An Israeli judge has cleared Israel’s military of responsibility
for the killing of the U.S. peace activist Rachel Corrie. A 23-year- old college student, Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza nine years ago. She was standing in front of a Palestinian home to help prevent its demolition. Today’s ruling came in a wrongful death civil suit brought by Corrie’s family, with the judge rejecting any negligence on the part of the driver and finding that Corrie’s death resulted from "an accident she brought upon herself." Corrie family attorney Hussein Abu Hussein denounced the verdict. Hussein Abu Hussein: "This verdict distorts the strong evidence presented in court and contradicts fundamental principles of international law with regard to protection of human right defenders. In denying justice in [the] Rachel Corrie killing, this verdict speaks to the systematic failure to hold the Israeli military accountable for continuing violation of basic human rights." The ruling follows an earlier internal Israeli army investigation that also exonerated the bulldozer drivers. The Corrie family had been seeking a symbolic $1 in damages, as well as legal fees. http://www.rachelcorrie.org/ |

So we ran her over with the bulldozer". What they should have done: Hey, this is one 150 lb girl. Why didn't they send in 3 or 4 or 5 big, beefy soldiers and forcibly take her out of the way? That ain't rocket science...and it would have saved the Israelis an international black eye. Shame on the Israelis. :-( |

Shame on the Israelis. :-( Shame on the girl for not being intelligent enough to move out of the way (as you say, that ain't rocket science). Because of her very stupid decision, she is dead. Meanwhile, the Israelis are busy getting rid of the threat of rockets being fired into their territory. Rockets and attacks go away, the Israelis go away. Pretty damn simple. |

Perhaps Israel could use a portion of the hundreds of BILLIONS of $$ $ the U.S. taxpayers are forced to hand out to them to buy their military personnel eye glasses. Evidently none of them see well because their Navy and Air Force claimed the same thing when murdered 34 U.S. Navy sailors and maimed 174 others when they repeatedly strafed and bombed the U.S.S. Liberty. http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/was...nment-cover-up |
