| For Family of Slain Activist, No End in Sight for Case |
| 2010-11-12 |
| Seven years after an American student, Rachel Corrie, was killed in Gazoo by an Israeli military bulldozer she tried to block, becoming a global symbol of the Paleostinian struggle, her parents and her older sister sit in an Israeli court in this northern city with two hopes: to confront the men who ran over her and to prove that the army investigation into her death was flawed. On both counts, it has been a frustrating effort. To guard their identities, the bulldozer operators are called only by their initials and testify behind a screen, disembodied voices claiming vague memories. The Corrie lawyer presses them with props: “Mr. A,” he said to a commander this past Thursday, arranging a plastic toy bulldozer, an orange lump of putty and a Raggedy Ann doll, “Where was she when you saw her?” Mr. As answer differed markedly from that of Mr. Y, the driver of the bulldozer who testified two weeks earlier, although both denied seeing her before she was crushed under their vehicle. The army said Ms. Corries death was an accident. The Corries believe the drivers either saw Rachel or were so careless toward the protesters as to be criminally negligent. |

| #7 Ok. Where the hell can I get a D9 toy so I can Play "Pancake verses Bulldozer"? If you don't really care about it being a D9, your local John Deere dealer sells toys and they have the JD equivalent. Its just my guess, but i think they would all look pretty much the same from the ground, looking up..]]]]]]]]]] |

| #4 no IHOP condiments? FOAD, Corries. You raised a shrieking anti-American, anti-Jooooo b1tch. She was stupid and unaware that her status as an American didn't overcome gravity. |

| #3 I'm confused about the props -- is the Raggedy Ann dolls supposed to be St. Pancake, or is the lump of putty? Or is it a before and after thing? |

| #2 The Corries believe the drivers either saw Rachel or were so careless toward the protesters as to be criminally negligent. Of course they "Believe" it, their poor Innocent child COULDN'T be guilty. Morons and enablers, Never let FACTS stand in their way. Very glad MY parents were NOT like that. |

| #1 If you hadn't noticed; there are no court cases against Hamas activists who kill people with rockets. But the Jews are the barbarians? We can only shake our heads in wonder. |
