An Israeli court cleared Tuesday the Israeli army of charges accusing it of killing US activist Rachel Corrie back in 2003. Witnesses said that Corrie was crushed by a bulldozer belonging to the Israeli army on March 16 2003. Her parents backed the testimony of witnesses who were present at the scene and filled a lawsuit against the Israeli army. The court rejected the accusations, saying that evidence showed that the bulldozer’s driver could not see the activist because she was buried under a pile of rubble. Corrie’s mother described the verdict as a “sad day for humanity.” Corrie’s parents travelled from the US to attend the hearing along with 50 friends and well-wishers. All of them were disappointed with the verdict. The Israeli army’s own investigation was the first to suggest that Corrie was struck by the debris of a building that was being demolished. Witnesses, a number of them were banned from entering Israel to testify, remain adamant that the driver of the bulldozer crushed Corrie. The American activist was demonstrating peacefully on the day of her death against Israel’s demolition of Palestinian homes. She was a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a group aimed at supporting the Palestinian cause through peaceful protests.
