The family of Rachel Corrie, a pro-Palestinian activist killed by an Israel Defense Forces bulldozer in Rafah two years ago, sued the State of Israel and the IDF for damages in the Haifa District Court on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Corrie was killed on March 16, 2003 when she tried to block an IDF bulldozer from destroying a Palestinian house near the Philadelphi Route, the strip of land in the Gaza Strip bordering Egypt.
An IDF investigation ruled the incident was an accident and that the driver did not see Corrie, and the military prosecutor's office decided not to press charges in connection with Corrie's death.
Corrie's parents, brother, and sister, who are represented by Umm al-Fahm attorney Hussein Abu-Hussein, argue Corrie was killed despite the fact that she was wearing bright clothing and had identified herself as an activist with the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement.
Corrie's family argues that the bulldozer driver intentionally used unreasonable force. According to the family, there was no fighting in the area at the time and there was no threat to soldiers' lives.
The family has asked for roughly $324 thousand in direct damages, as well as punitive damages. They also said they have yet to receive all of the material from the IDF investigation into the matter.
Then stay out of the thread, if it makes you so squeamish. I don't recall anyone pleading for your input in the first place.
That means we got a whole month to pledge donations toward a brand new D9 to be donated to Israel to help clean ut the trash.
Sign me up for a donation...
LOL! Good one!

A Tribute to Rachel Corrie
Thanks for showing us what "peace" really means.

Today is the first anniversary of Rachel Corrie's death. I want to thank Corrie for the explosives that flow freely from Egypt to Gaza, via the smuggling tunnels under the Gaza homes that she died defending.
Perhaps it was these explosives that in the year since her martyrdom--oops, death--have been strapped around suicide bombers to blow up city buses and restaurants in Israeli cities, particularly in Jerusalem, killing men, women and schoolchildren (two of them classmates of my daughter and her friend in the February 22, 2004 bombing) and leaving hundreds more widows, orphans and bereaved parents.
On the first anniversary of her death, I want to thank Rachel Corrie for showing Palestinian children how to despise America as she snarled, burned an American flag, and led them in chanting slogans, and as she gave "evidence" at a Young Palestinian Parliament mock trial finding President Bush guilty of crimes against humanity.
Perhaps her help in fanning the flames of violent anti-American sentiment led to the October 2003 bombing of the Fulbright delegation to Gaza to interview scholarship candidates, killing three. There will be no new crop of Palestinian Fulbright scholars this fall.
On the first anniversary of her death, I wanted to thank Rachel Corrie for providing her organization, the Palestinian-sponsored International Solidarity Movement, with the opportunity to release a manipulated photo sequence "showing" an Israeli military bulldozer deliberately crushing her. (I would also like to thank the Associated Press and the Christian Science Monitor for taking up the baton and immortalizing this cynical ISM stunt.)
On the first anniversary of her death, I want to thank Rachel Corrie for showing the way to all those who seek peace in the Middle East. Unfortunately, Corrie's peace, as anyone familiar with the Palestine Liberation Organization, Fatah, Hamas and Hezbollah organizations that she defended with her life knows--or as anyone familiar with the weekly rants of the Friday preachers in the Palestinian mosques is aware--means not peaceful coexistence but the elimination of the state of Israel, and death to those they call "the usurping Jews, the sons of apes and pigs."
Thank you, Rachel Corrie, of Evergreen State University, where the profs wear khakis and kaffiyehs at graduation ceremonies, for showing us what peace really means.
Ms. Shattan is a translator, editor and writer who has lived in Israel since 1976. This article appeared in the Jerusalem Post.
LOL! Or maybe Dunces With Caterpillars.
How about...
"Runs-with-Tomahawk"
"Two-Poles-Short-Of-A-Wigwam"
"Paleface Pancake"
In a PLO town was a girl named Rachel Corrie
She was reading to children anti-American stories
She was brainwashed by mom and dad
By her college professors was had
But one day she would run out of luck and things turned out ba-a-ad
Hello, Mr. Bulldozer, you can't touch this house...I'll stand in your way
Hello, Mr. Bulldozer, Jews must be stopped...this will not be your day
She was burning our flag with the little terrorists cheering
And to the scum of the earth she became someone who's quite endearing
She was brainwashed by her mom and dad
By her college professors was had
But one day she would run out of luck and things turned out ba-a-ad
Hello, Mr. Bulldozer, you can't touch this house...I'll stand in your way
Hello, Mr. Bulldozer, Jews must be stopped...this will not be your day
You must wear a hard hat when you work around big equipment
She became a squished pancake...I hope that isn't too flippant
She was brainwashed by mom and dad
By her college professors was had
But one day she would run out of luck and things turned out ba-a-ad
Hello, Mr. Bulldozer, you can't touch this house...I'll stand in your way
Hello, Mr. Bulldozer, Jews must be stopped...this will not be your day
Makes you sick????
That's the only reason I'm reading this thread! Some timeless hilarity has resulted from previous St. Pancake threads.
Ah yes, a traitor of her own country.
I think Rachel Corrie's parents need to be sued for ngeligance. Apparently, they never taught their daughter not to step in front of moving vehicles.
Yep!

Howrya doin?
[Shamelessly stolen from mhking.]
I took my bullhorn, took it down
Helped terrorists in Gaza Town.
I saw my reflection on a bulldozer blade,
and the landfill's where I stay.
Oh, choppers in the sky,
What is dumb?
Can I play chicken with Israelis?
Can I face down heavy equipment?
Can I handle ten tons on my chest?
Well, I've been afraid of flattening,
'Cause a D-9 can hurt you.
But morons are bolder,
Flag-burning gets older,
And IHOP is calling too...
Oh, mail me home, flat rate's fine,
Fake some photos, moan and whine.
If you see my reflection in a bulldozer blade
Well the landfill's where I'll be...
If you see my reflection in a bulldozer blade
Well the landfill's where I'll be...
