There is no legal forum here, so I'm posting this under politics. The decision in the lawsuit Rachel's parents filed in her death is due on the 28th:

Israeli inquiry into Rachel Corrie death insufficient, US ambassador tells family | World news | guardian.co.uk

Rachel Corrie Trial In Israel | The Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice

I always told my son when he was a child to not step in front of large moving objects. My son is still alive today.

true and where were the security or police in this? Why did they not forcefully remove her before the bulldozer killed her?

I have to give meetings on forklift safety and I always end the meeting by telling people that the safest thing to do if you are a pedestrian in the vicinity of a forklift is act as though that forklift driver don't like you too much.

The point of the ISM protest was to protest and hopefully prevent the demolition of Palestinian housing by the occupiers. Zionist troops have shown many times they are willing to kill civilians and peace activists. The Freedom Riders, MLK, the Scholls all bravely stood up in the face of oppression, and so did Ms. Corrie.
