[quote:heresjohnny:MV8xOTcxMjEzXzMzMDk5NzI0X0UzRjBCM0Uw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 22750961:MV8xOTcxMjEzXzMzMDkyMTY2X0JBMUVFQzdC] [quote:heresjohnny:MV8xOTcxMjEzXzMzMDkyMTM5XzU3RDYwNUFG] I studied the case of Rachel Corrie years ago. There is no proof that she was murdered, the only evidence you have is an eyewitness who's all biased. On the other hand there is also the driver who claims he did not see her under the vehicle when he drove. So there you have it; a word for a word, not sufficient for a conviction. Unfortunately for you, it is still on you to prove it was a murder. [/quote] :propoganda: Self-contradictory propaganda. Witnesses can't be believed, unless it is the driver, who clearly has no reason to lie... :bsmeter2: [/quote] No, that is simply how things work in the court room, or do you guys have it going in different ways in your country. As in, I blame you for stealing my wallet because I claim I saw you do it, and no hard evidence beyond reasonable doubt is needed to get you thrown to jail. I am, however, still open minded. Show me a real proof that what you accuse the driver of is absolutely true. Or you could just call out your "Propaganda" card as usual, like many others seem to do here, to avoid digging for the truth. [/quote]

HAIFA, Israel — An Israeli judge ruled on Tuesday that the state bore no responsibility for the death of Rachel Corrie, the young American woman who was run over by a military bulldozer in 2003 as she protested housing demolitions in the Gaza Strip.
The lengthy verdict in the civil case, read to a courtroom packed with supporters of Ms. Corrie’s family here, called the death an accident that occurred during “a military activity meant to prevent terrorist activity.”
“She chose to put herself in danger,” said the judge, Oded Gershon. “She could have easily distanced herself from the danger like any reasonable person would.”
