31. Corrie's Law Suit
Judith Nusbaum ,   Rishon, Israel   (03.10.10)
A tragedy, absolutely, but a law-suit against Israel, absurd! The Corries should be suing the ISM, the organization that brainwashed their daughter to act as she did.
32. to Abdel Karim Salim
Watcher   (03.10.10)
Of Course, you're right. Additionally, if Corrie would have done the same in lets say a City in Afghanistan or Iraq no US Court would have accepted any lawsuit. Corries poor parents should honor their daughter by telling the youngsters back home what the ISM really is and helping can be done much more effectively as teachers, nurses, or social workers as you so rightly stated.
33. Chutzpah
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (03.10.10)
To sue is Chutzpah. She asked for trouble.
34. Dont give them a cent
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (03.10.10)
Their worth and good for nothing child can rot in hell. make them pay for lawyers and hotel accomodation in Israel, let them use up money, then send them home with nothing. If they get even a cent - may it go for medicine for the sickness they deserve
35. #5 You make me vomiting
Sami ,   Lebanon   (03.10.10)
36. Abdel Karim Salim's post:
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.10.10)
He has said this before and I have responded accordingly. Palestinians do not need foreign elements to come to Israel and fight their battles for them. The presence of people like Rachel Corrie only infantilizes the Palestinian people and, ultimately, makes them dependent and weakens their resolve. This, I believe, is Mr. Salim's point and, what's more, if I've correctly interpreted it, I'm in agreement with his perspective. In short, the more you can do for yourself, the better off you are.
37. #35 your vomiting? good ...
rachel ,   usa   (03.10.10)
38. Let these people go to Hamastan and ask money from them
Dan ,   USA   (03.10.10)
39. Hey Israel, do not play into the hands of the enemies liike
Frank ,   USA   (03.10.10)
her parents and the anti-American, anti-Israel college professors at Evergreen. They should have sent her to Chechnya or Sudan. Then nobody would ever hear about her. The only reason these ugly people harass you is because you are Jews.
40. Sue ISM; oh that's right she signed a waiver of liability
Joseph ,   Fort Lauderdale, FL   (03.10.10)
When you sign a waiver, its because they know you will be placed in harms way and do not want to take responsibility. Just like the parents who raised this moron.
41. The parents should be suing the Palestinians
Lioness ,   Israel   (03.10.10)
Who made hera human shield!
42. Rachel Corrie: 451,000 Google results. Tali Hatuel: 15,100.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.10.10)
The first was a politically-motivated, terror-sympathizing anarchist who deliberately came here to cause trouble, and deliberately put herself in harm's way, in some self-righteous show of bravado. She died when she played chicken with a bulldozer... And lost. The second was an unassuming pregnant mother of four, who just wanted a peaceful life for her family. She, her unborn baby, and her four daughters were murdered in their car at point blank, by Palestinian terrorists. Guess which one of the two scored 30 times more hits in Google than the other? This perfectly illustrates the degree by which the world media is biased against Israel.
43. Who let her and the others into Israel?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.10.10)
44. to #23 You are sick!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.10.10)
Get off Native American land!
45. Sad but stupid.

46. Abdel karem Salim let me tell you about justice -
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (03.10.10)
A despicable child murderer Samir Kuntar is a free man living in some Arab country and considered to be hero. Is this what you call justice?
47. To Israel: Counter Sue Her Family
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (03.10.10)
First of all, I understand the Corries are Jewish. If true, we have more Goldstone's here. Can someone please comment. Then, let me say that I understand their organization is IRS tax exempt? If true, why? Do they quality? It's obvious that they acted like sociopaths...provoking others, then blaming them . Its a life-learned tactic. You deal with these people by avoiding them. Israel should have barred the organ anywhere within 3 miles of itself and the territories, or arrest them ( no deals). Sometimes Israel, in trying to be friends to all, shoots itself in the foot. Tractors should operate in a war-zone, with restrictions. While Kuntar is free to join terrorist groups, he is applauded as a hero by some. To Israel: for heavens sake, learn from your mistakes, or else..repeat them.
48. 324000 $only!! this is the premium to insure a d
Sami ,   Lebanon   (03.10.10)
Who will sue, who? The justice in Israel is for jews only. I imagine something similar happed to a jews somewhere I the world .The whole Jewish Diaspora worldwide were involved seeking compensation and “revenge”. Look, one soldier captive, alive, well being and good condition and the whole world busy with his case. If there were fair justice the Huge Court were busy for years and years suing Israeli politicians ,army Generals for Human right and mass murder violation ,but alas and alack, as always the US jews are there to help and keep the cover up.
49. Another martyr to futility
Tzefanyah ,   Atlanta USA   (03.10.10)
She died the way she wanted to. She died a hero to her friends and a martyr for her cause. That’s not enough? The parents want more? They want her death to have meaning and purpose? Sorry, I guess she shouldn’t have jumped in front of a bulldozer in supoort of the ISM. Her goal was for the government to change their policy, standing in a pile of dirt wasn’t going to accomplish that: Just as strapping bombs to your body and blowing up coffee shops isn’t going to accomplish that. Convincing Hamas and Fatah and Hezbollah to negotiate is the only way to accomplish those goals. I’m sorry she died and I'm sorry her parents lost thier daught but mostly I’m sorry her death had no purpose.
50. And what do you know about Gilad Shalit, Sami?
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.10.10)
He is not allowed communication with the outside world nor is allowed the benefits of the Red Cross. You say he is in "good condition". What do you know that the rest of us (international community) do not know? Personally, I think you're just flapping your own jowls of ignorance. Please try to add something of value next time you take the time to write us from Lebanon.
51. #35 who stepped on your tail?
Sami ,   Lebanon   (03.10.10)
52. Are they prosecute the 'palestinian' who pushed her under th
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (03.10.10)
e tank? This stupid girl is dead through her own stupidity. I am sorry folks but a SPADE IS A SPADE. Her parents are nothing but rabid anti-Semites. Good riddence!
53. GOOD THAT THE CASE IS HEARD IN HAIFA COURT
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne,   (03.10.10)
In Haifa the IDF will be be treated fairly. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
54. What do the ugly people expect when they enter the war zone?
Robert ,   USA   (03.10.10)
What do they expect? They be go to Nigeria! No..they will never go to places like Nigeria or Uganda with their delusional outlook for humanitarian assistance... DId they help Israel or Jews of Israel when the Palestinian Arab terrorists were blowing up the buses, schools, hospitals in Tel Aviv or Haifa? Their hypocricy and ugliness knws no limit!
55. The dumb American full of dellusions about the Arab hatred
John ,   USA   (03.10.10)
of Jews and the conflict of the epical proportions got what she deserved.
56. The parents raised a stupid girl full of fantasies
Zak ,   USA   (03.10.10)
and now they want to get paid from Israel for their mistakes. She should have gone to Kashmir or Tartastan. They would not have dared to play that ugly game.
57. The Arabs who persecute, discriminate, blow up and murder
Cathy ,   USA   (03.10.10)
support the Corrie family. This is the nature of this world. Dump on the only democracy in the Middle East and absolve the 22 hateful Arab dictatorships of all responsibilities.
58. Would any of the 22 Arab states based on hatred
Drew ,   USA   (03.10.10)
give them any money? LIke parents like daughter. They cannot recognize the hateful nature of their actions. Hey, the Middle East is not Seatlle. Hellooooooo! It is Cairo where terrorists run around mastermiding another 9/11 type tragedy.
59. Give them NOTHING...They deserve NOTHING
Kick them out of Isr ,   USA   (03.10.10)
They should have sent the dumb girl to a local soup kitchen rather than the war zone.
60. #31
mark ,   ca   (03.10.10)
