“An Israeli court ruled Tuesday that the military was not at fault for killing a U.S. activist crushed by an army bulldozer during a 2003 demonstration, rejecting a lawsuit filed by her parents. The bulldozer driver has said he didn’t see 23-year-old Rachel Corrie, a pro-Palestinian activist who was trying to block the vehicle’s path during a demonstration in the Gaza Strip against the military’s demolition of Palestinian homes. The military deemed her March 2003 death an accident.”
