Not anti-Israel?
From a New York Times article on the Corrie trial:Sarah Corrie Simpson, Ms. Corrie’s older sister, who is here with her mother and father, Craig, has taken a leading role in bringing attention to the case. Asked what she thought of how her sister was viewed, she said her family did not consider itself anti-Israel and was not responsible for the way in which Ms. Corrie’s name had been used by groups and causes.
To the contrary, she said, the family was using Israel’s court system to get its army to stand up to the standards it professes, a vote of confidence in the society.
“I don’t see this as about Israel’s legitimacy,” she said in an interview. “My family is not anti-Israel. What Rachel saw when she went to Gaza was extremely troubling and because of what happened to her we are now connected to the Palestinian issue. But Israeli peace activists shared her concern and are helping us with our case. From our family’s perspective, this is about human rights for all people and holding governments accountable.”
This from the sister of a woman who was killed acting as a human shield for weapons smuggling tunnels operated by a terror organization. What about the human rights of the people of Sderot (and at that time, the people in the Jewish towns of Gaza)?Not anti-Israel?
Enough said.

I know these people are grieving but there is a time to bury the dead. I thought it was extremely cruel to drag that poor bulldozer driver into court.
These Corries now must be forced to re-visit Gaza and to approve the changes wrought by the wonderful Hamas.
Especially the houses Hamas has destroyed, belonging to it's own people, because they wanted the land.
These people are liars; they are anti-semites to the core!
