Which of course means that the international coalition of Jew haters and those seeking to destroy Israel are going to launch into a protracted period of wailing and gnashing of teeth.
So the same courts that regularly hand down rulings to move Jews off biblically significant and completely empty hills in Judea and Samaria find the IDF did not kill Rachel Corrie. She was accidentally killed by entering deliberately enterining a combat zone and acting recklessly. If she was killed by anyone it was, of course, the terrorist supporting, gun totting ISM who sent her to her death.
Judge Oded Gershon of Haifa District Court ruled today that the death of Rachel Corrie in 2003 was an accident. In a 62 page verdict, the judge stated there was no liability on the part of the Israel Defense Force. He also found there was no fault in the month-long military investigation which the Israeli military undertook immediately following Corrie’s death. The Israel Defense Force has been cleared of responsibility.
The judge found that Corrie was in a closed military zone. Further, he ruled that, based upon the evidence, the driver of the bulldozer, whom the plaintiffs had claimed intentionally or negligently killed Corrie, could not have seen the International Solidarity Movement volunteer before she was struck. Corrie could have saved herself, the judge found, if she had removed herself from the situation.
All claims of negligence against Israel in the death of Rachel Corrie have been dismissed. Corrie’s parents, the plaintiffs in the wrongful death case, will not be charged with court costs.
Of course Twitter has errupted because the little children didn’t get the verdict they wanted.
Fans of UK soap Coronation Street (lovingly known as “Corrie”) will now find it impossible to search Twitter for news about their TV show for days as an outpouring of support for this stupid woman will defame Israel, the IDF and the only free and fair judiciary in the middle east.
If you feel compelled, you can see the reams of material here on Israellycool about this woman here. Can we all go back to real life now? The IDF doesn’t deliberately kill protesters (unlike every Arab country in the region). If they die, it’s nearly always because they did something very, very stupid.
if the corries appeal, and they say they will, the answer is no, we cannot go back to our regular lives
as much as we like to make light of the rachel the idiot, jew hating dead wanabee dhimmi, this case was and is very serious
while we all know the idf does not work with impunity, the ism sure as heck does
undercover of being “peaceful protestors” who are just “pro palestinian” they have lent cover to hamas operatives, who have maimed and murdered israeli civilians and foreign nationals
the ism must be labeled a terrorist org.
their funding from the united states must be cut off
their members residing in the us, must be either expelled or imprisoned
corrie was not a dupe…she was an active participant in terror
im glad shes dead
as an aside, the great documentarian, michael moore, has jumped into the fray
if he did as much research for his docs that he did in the corrie case, the wingnuts may be right about him
“while we all know the idf does not work with impunity, the ism sure as heck does”
That’s it in a nutshell. And it all goes back to setting too much importance to Israel’s status as “a member in the family of nations.” That way the Kassams keep coming even after our hostage is freed (Gilad Shalit), instead of sending a bomber plane or two like a sane nation would have done, and on the other hand, the “judicial” system displays surprisingly quick reactions when some Jewish boys in Jerusalem dare to stand up to the honor of bnot Yisrael in the tradition of Shimon and Levi (Jacob disagreed with them, but HaShem, the writer of the Torah, let them have the last word).
We will know Mashiah ben David has come when political decisions in this country are made with 0% regard to what the world will say or do and 100% consideration of Jewish national stature and survival.
For me, the Rachel Corrie incident provides ample evidence of the double standard the world press places on Israel. There is overwhelming evidence that her death was accidental and that she contributed significantly to her unfortunate death by her own actions. And yet I had to listen to the BBC World Service report the verdict of the Israeli court in that snotty, superior tone of theirs. No wonder we broke away from England!

Comrade Corrie played chicken with a bulldozer and lost. End of story.
