The only compassion in this case goes out the the parents for having to suffer their fool of a daughter and the soldier that had to go through this trial.

IF they are not going to punish their soldiers for intentionally killing unarmed americans then we need to cut all ties with them.

I don't think the soldier had the authority to arrest her and there also may have been a blind spot that he actually couldn't see her.

Their money allows them to control governments. If the country is not in line with letting themselves get raped, then the Zionists take a country they control and destroy the country they do not.

Right now there most effective weapon is the U.S. military.

Iraq-Enemy of Israel, Saddam was not controllable. BYE BYE

Libya- Gaddafi was trying to create an African currency backed by gold. This currency would quickly appreciate vs the US dollar and Euro, showcasing the weaknesses of the Zionists main currencies. You think they are going to lose to Africa? BYE BYE

Syria- The zionists need Syrian territory in order to create an oil pipeline from Israel to Turkey. Once they complete this pipeline they will be able to reduce Iran's power to create an oil shortage in case of war.

Iran- Another enemy of the Zionists, they are next on the chopping block once operations in Syria come to a close. Iran knows there time will be up soon, so they are desperately trying to create a nuclear weapon as their only chance of survival. Get the weapon and perhaps they will not invade as they feel its to risky.

It's disgusting to see this going on and people in the USA actually supporting it. WTF you are not a globalist/zionist and are not gonna see any benefits from it. What are you thinking?

Obviously Israel and/or Zionists do not control the world's money supply and aren't responsible for actions that led to the recent events connected to the "Arab Spring" as you seem to be indicating in your comments.

Who said anyone is applauding? Quit putting words into other people's mouths. I'm pretty sure that woman knew what she was doing, and dying for her cause was OK with her.

It WAS NOT deliberate. Get the truth in your heads people - the driver had a job to do - the lady was standing in front of a bulldozer - and the driver could not see her.

The only part of the court decision I disagree with is that they call it an "accident" - it was not - the death would not have occurred had Rachel Corrie not stood in front of a bulldozer. This is real simple - Ms. Corrie stands out of the path - she goes home to Olympia and The Evergreen State College and we aren't talking about her 9 years later. Her death is sad and tragic - but she caused it - she chose to stand where she did and she had plenty of opportunity to move out of the way to safety.

The responsibility for her death falls entirely on Rachel Corrie.
