An Israeli court has ruled in a civil case that the Israel army was not at fault in the bulldozer death of American pro-Palestinian activist Rachel Corrie nearly 10 years ago.
Corrie was 23 years old when she went to the town of Rafah in the Gaza Strip as part of a group of activists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).
They were acting as human shields to try to stop the Israeli army demolishing Palestinian homes and clearing land around Rafah.
"I reached the conclusion that there was no negligence on the part of the bulldozer driver," Judge Oded Gershon said, reading out his verdict on Tuesday at the Haifa District Court in northern Israel.
[...]
"I reject the suit. There is no justification to demand the state pay any damages."

No, he wasn't negligent. It was intentional.
You remember Rachel Corrie.
Minutes after that photo was taken, she was bulldozed under.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
