It’s a good day.
You want to stand in front a bulldozer? Fine...you do that. But I will be damned if I shed ONE tear when you get turned into hamburger.
Actions have consequences, and your actions caused this consequence.Welcome to that thing in life called 'Free will'.
I say this as a father, and I just do not have any sympathy for any of the actions that have happened in this case.
Call me heartless I guess..
Just finished watching Eichmann on Youtube. Corrie would’ve felt a kindred spirit with him.
But the look of rage and hatred in her eyes as she celebrated burning a makeshift US flag with a group of small Arab children in that series of photographs - well, that showed that she knew exactly what she was doing.
She was a conscious supporter of terrorism, becoming more active and vocal after 9/11 than she had been before.
So I feel zero sympathy for her, or for the parents who raised her in that ideology.
Interestingly the media seems to have Anglicized her last name as Corrie.
I am virtually certain that it was originally spelled Khoury.
We have a number of Middle-Eastern families around here by that last name.
Great read! Thanks for posting.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I think the verdict is a just one. I still think it is sad that a young woman lost her life, even if she was a deluded girl fighting for the wrong cause and it was her own fault.
There are strange things done in the blazing sun
By fools who toil for causes.
The desert sands have their Arab bands
Who have seen less wins than losses.The Mid-East blights have seen queer sights;
But the queerest of all, the most gory
Was that day on the tip of the Gaza Strip
When I bulldozed flat Rachel Corrie.Rachel Corrie came from Isle of Maury,
Where the liberal breeds and grows.
Why she left her gang out west to hang
With the rags, God only knows.She was never told that the lands of old
Had a Hebrew tale to tell;
And she’d often say in her churlish way,
“Those Jews should burn in Hell!”On March 16, our ragtime queen
Made herself a human shield.
It was 5 PM and the light was dim
When in her horn she squealed.“Now stop right there while I prepare
For a sit-in, brave and burly.”
But she was not seen and our ragtime queen
Became a sandy and gritty girlie.There are strange things done in the blazing sun
By fools who toil for causes.
The desert sands have their Arab bands
Who have seen less wins than losses.The Mid-East blights have seen queer sights;
But the queerest of all, the most gory
Was that day on the tip of the Gaza Strip
When I bulldozed flat Rachel Corrie.

US State Department: We understand Corries’ disappointment
The US State Department expressed its condolences to the family of Rachel Corrie on Tuesday after the Haifa District Court rejected their case earlier in the day, ruling that the IDF was not responsible for her death.
“We’ve worked with the family all through this process and we will continue to provide consular support. We understand the family’s disappointment with the outcome of the trial,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
Asked if the State Department shared this disappointment, Nuland noted that the family could yet appeal.
“It’s probably not productive to get into the middle of a legal process that may be ongoing,” Nuland said.
“You feel no pain for the scores of martyrs in my own city of Haifa murdered by those same terrorists.”
Precisely.
