61. #36,42 Gaza beach family shelling never came to Egypt court
observer ,   Egypt   (08.29.12)
a Human Rights watch bomb damage expert who is a former Pentagon official physically found shrapnel at the site which had markings indicating it came from a 155m howitzer of the type that was shelling Gaza when the beach explosion occurred. HRW experts found a large piece of unoxidized jagged shrapnel, stamped “155mm,” which would be consistent with an artillery shell fired by the IDF’s M-109 Self-Propelled Artillery. Whitewash IDF report was just to divert attention from the need for impartial transparent credible independent report in such a case. IDF does kills mostly civilians,
62. The verdict was never in doubt....

Stop being racist - the driver went thru a polygraph and was found to be telling the truth when he said that he didn't see her. She shouldn't have been there, maybe she should have stood in Syria somewhere. Have you been to Gaza lately??? What you see on TV is the tunnels etc. but they don't show you the real Gaza: beautiful building, hotels, wedding halls, beachfront and a beautiful beach. They keep all the refugee camps to show the world.... So I take great umbrage of your Jewish judge/Christian family concept... Do you know that it was an Arab judge, on the High Court, that sentenced the previous President of Israel to jail??? Get your facts straight and keep your anti-semtism to yourself. Long live Israel!!!! Am Israel Hai!!!

The IDF carries out targeted attacks on terrorists and their infrastructure in gaza taking great care to avoid civilian casualties including on numerous occasions calling off missions when the risk to innocent bystanders is deemed to be too high. Gazan terrorists on the other hand have fired thousands of rockets into Israeli communities praying to allah that they will reach their targets and cause death and injury to civilians. Moreover any deaths or serious injury which result are considered a great victory and a cause for celebration. Now that's real hatred for you. Israel conducted an open and fair trial the verdict of which was never in doubt in spite of the fairy tales and hysteria which people like you bring to the table. The moral here is if you're stupid enough to enter a conflict zone it's at your own risk and trying to shift the blame onto Israel as useful idiots like are doing is a pathetic and contemptible response.
64. #17 I so agree with you...just look at
arlene ,   Israel   (08.29.12)
the photo shown here...she isnt right in front of the D9, so why did she move and why did those around let her!!! This really makes you think....why didnt anyone stop her. I think her parents should focus else where for blame and law suits. Obviously things have been checked out and ask anyone who drives heavy equipment if its possible to see someone that stands in front of them. Sorry for her folks, but their daughter was either brainwashed or a another fanatic and knew what she was doing. Probably wasnt fimiliar with heavy equipment so really misjudged her provocation. My symapathies to the IDF soldier who has to live with what this woman did to him!
65. The pic you show here is another time
Peggy ,   UK/Israel   (08.29.12)
or photoshopped!!!!! do you honestly want us to beleive what you put here. And is it really R corrie? A message..all activists, Israel wont intentionally bodily harm any of you, but if you do dumb things, out of anyones hands. Go walk the street of Syria, they need you!!!! many other places, for you to demonstrate..BUT AH>>>no way eh, far too dangerous and no one will really care about your well being, thats why you feel you can do what you want in Israel. SO ok go on protecting a terrorist state you bunch of hypocrits.

anton ,   istanbul   (08.29.12)
should just get out of israel asap. who knows an army vehicle whose duty is to pick up palestinians bodies might mistakenly run them over while they are on street the honourable judge says " that day weather was cloudy and they looked like dark skinned so the driver of vehicle thought they are palestinians who pretended to be walking dead so the driver took cautionary act and run them over " 3 cheers for israel...

We are not full of hate. You are the one full of hate for the Jewish peoople. By the way, the time is over when, we, Jewish people had to turn the other cheek. It's hard for parents to loose a child. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, Rachel's parents should have protected her instead of supporting her support terrorists.
69. Pitiful
Ricky ,   The Bronx   (08.29.12)
You white people(no pun) are pitiful, sacriligious and deadly and @55 the photo is evidence, he saw this woman whether it was 10yrs. ago or today, nothing was obscured from his veiw only the desire to run her a-- over,,,,,,,,,, Israel,,,,, I don't know about you people,,,,, but HaShem does
70. Look...
BK ,   USA   (08.29.12)
no one relishes the death of a young woman. I regret her death. She should have had more years to come to her senses. But she was a naive, fuzzy-headed dupe for a movement which supports terror. There is nothing better for the movement and its cronies over the world to have a martyr among them. Rachel is far more valuable to them dead than alive. Don't her parents see this?She was not exactly among saints... sadly, useful idiots Rachel and her friends, such as they are.
71. To: No. 10

Well, the United States District Court in Washington ruled against the Corries, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the most left-leaning Circuit in the United States) unanimously upheld the lower Court's verdict. The Opinion of the Circuit Court went so far as to say that had Ms. Corrie survived, she would be subject to prosecution upon her return to the United States because U.S. statute (several of them, actually) prohibits aiding and abetting a terrorist organization and, in the eyes of the United States, Hamas is a terrorist organization. How do you account for that, particularly in light of the fact that neither the District Court judge nor any of the members of the appellate panel are Jewish? Hmm?
72. # 67 - Family of Rachel .....

Do you always sprout crap regarding Israel? Maybe you should think about the Armenian Genocide that was perpetrated by Turkey (and is still going on) .... People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones ....
