31. ยค10,so why Corrie parents fled to this hated Israel from Gaz

32. #10 "Non-jews can expect no justice in israel".
A ,   Belgium   (05.21.14)
Care to back up your ignorance with some facts? I'll even help you a bit: Adolf Eichmann, no doubt one of your heroes. He recieved a fair trial and the punishment he deserved. That is called justice. Ever hear of the "Righteous Among the Nations"? They were "non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust", appx. 25,000 non-jews in total,and Israel has honored them by granting them honorary citizenship. That is also justice. You may now return your head to that dark and nasty place you pulled it out of.
33. #3 No, you are Benazi, lowly bedpan emptier and

anti-semite national socialist workers party wannabe.

It's spelled "impeccable." Excuse me, but your analogy is so inapposite as to be ludicrous. The black Americans in Mississippi did not (a) kill masses of white people in suicide bombings; (b) launch tens of thousands of missiles and mortars at the white citizens of Mississippi; (c) deliberately target school buses carrying white children ... for you to even articulate such an absurd comparison is to denigrate the efforts to achieve equality made by black people in the United States. Freedom Riders were there to register black Americans to vote; to help them secure Social Security numbers; to make sure that they were not being cowed or terrorized into inaction. They were not there to give aid and comfort to the enemy. Rachel Corrie was a terrorist sympathizer who tried to prevent the destruction of the terminus of a smuggling tunnel whose sole purpose was to smuggle weapons intended to be used to kill Jews. Andrew Goodman, she was not. Andrew Goodman died fighting for justice and civil rights. Rachel Corrie died fighting for terrorism and giving aid and comfort to terrorists. You are a brainless fool.

You are my hero.... we need to continue going after these anti-semites in newspapers, internet sites and college campuses. They are reinventing history to support a compltely false narrative. Israel has thrived while the Pals are stuck in their own self-inflicted prison camps supported by the UN labor force who gain from keeping this conflict going!!
37. I wonder if Rachel Corie's parents will ever realize that

they are culpable in her death.
38. #7 Sara B as a lawyer you should know better

How you ever passed the Bar is beyond belief. A women filled with bitter hatred towards anyone who does not share your warped sense of justice, an utter disgrace to your profession. Such hatred has blinded you to the suffering of others.

The Corries also attempted (unsuccessfully) to sue the State of Israel, Ehud Olmert as an individual, the late Ariel Sharon (z"l) as an individual and "John Does 1-34," meaning the IDF soldiers who -- get this -- according to the Corries, did not protect and defend the person of Rachel Corrie. The Corries, you see, wanted things both ways. Just about the only party they haven't tried to sue is Hamas. I guess they don't wish to end up just as dead as Rachel. The judge made VERY short work of the Corrie lawsuits, and sanctioned them from the bench. In the Caterpillar case, the Corries filed an affidavit which was so full of lies that the judge actually warned them of the penalties for scienter. Information easily accessible. Why don't you purchase a subscription to Lexis, or Westlaw? It's only a few thousand dollars for each. Surely you can afford that small a sum. Both are certainly far more accurate than your specious sources. Of course, truth and accuracy doesn't really work in your favor, ever, which is why you don't pay much attention to either. By the way -- Rachel Corrie isn't even a blip on the Israeli radar. The Supreme Court of Israel will send the Corrie family packing. Wow! The Corries might actually have to find gainful employment. Just goes to show you that there's a first time for everything!
40. #10 - why do non-Jewish foreigners show up to stir trouble
William ,   Israel   (05.22.14)
then expect to be treated as royalty with full access to party areas during the evening and war zones during the day, without repercussions? These foreigners, like Corrie, break the law, aid terror - which is actually a violation of US law, and promote more inequality and strife by supporting violence and division. Non-Jews in Israel get equal access to the courts, which are lauded as mature and independent by many countries and orgs around the world. Unfortunately, those whom you support receive guilty verdicts when they break the law. It seems, like the Corrie's, you see yourself and those you support as ABOVE the law.
41. #16 - there are NO civil rights that allow terrorism
William ,   Israel   (05.22.14)
and she was a terrorist sympathizer and aider, which makes her indirectly tied to their war crimes. There were no war crimes in Mississippi when Goodman visited, nor did he promote any such violence.
