Rachel Corrie was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer which was busily (and illegally) demolishing Palestinian dwellings in 2003. Rachel was protesting against the Israeli ethnic cleansing of its indigenous population.

An Israeli judge exonerated those responsible for her death saying: "she [rachel] failed to distance herself [from the bulldozer] as any right thinking person would have done."

The family are said to be disappointed by the verdict.

The 62-page ruling found no fault in the internal Israeli military investigation which cleared the driver of the bulldozer which crushed Corrie to death in March 2003. The judge said the driver could not have seen the activist from the cab of the bulldozer.

Israelis investigating Israeli atrocoties. Sure why dont we let the DUP/PUP investigate loyalist paramilitary actions and sure while we are at it, it does not matter about where a referee is from in a match! Ridiculous decision, there should have been an impartial investigation into the situation.
