Nine years after an American activist was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer, an Israeli civil court ruled Tuesday that Rachel Corrie's death was an accident.
Corrie, 23, was killed in 2003 while trying to block the bulldozer from razing Palestinian homes.
Her parents filed suit
against Israel's Ministry of Defense in a quest for accountability and
sought just $1 in damages. But Judge Oded Gershon ruled Tuesday that the
family has no right to damages, backing an earlier Israeli
investigation that cleared any soldier of wrongdoing.
Corrie was nonviolently protesting the demolition of Palestinian
civilian homes in Rafah, Gaza, when she died. She was working with the
Palestinian-led International Solidarity Movement at the time.A Hero Wasted.......RIP Corrie.
