The State Department says that the Corrie family has a" right" to appeal the decisions of Israeli courts that the IDF was not to blame in this young woman's death.
This American girl was taking part in a protest against IDF demolitions of Palesinian homes when she made the error of mistaking the IDF for a civilized army. She tried to face down the bulldozer driver. In response he ran over and killed her.
Judge Gershon says the act was justified because this was a "war time situation." Really? Really? Israel by its own estimation has been at wasr since 1948. That would seem to imdicate that they feel justified in killing anyone, anywhere, any time if they think it is a good idea.
The State Department says that the family has the right to appeal under Israeli law. I suggest the Corries come home and try their luck in US courts. There must be justice somewhere. pl
