But of course, what else would he claim?
She was a woman, 23 years old, and by the sounds of it she was a lot brighter at 23 than you probably ever will be.
Also, thanks for the "accident" propaganda. Just sweep it under the hasbarista rug.
Lol
Very childish post don't you think?
Maybe next thing he's gonna say is that my mothers fat ?
Posts sometime speak for themselves .
makes overtly sexist comments?
Perhaps, if I read you correctly, Corrie should have minded herself and stayed in the kitchen where her family could watch her?
Much has been written about how the Rachel Corrie case was handled in the courtroom. Yet all the while, a more subtle judgment has been taking place in the court of public opinion.
So while the Israeli court ruled that Corrie’s 2003 death was an accident – given that the bulldozer driver was unable to detect Corrie’s presence – that ruling did not stop CNN from promoting the canard that Corrie was “intentionally murdered.”
In describing the verdict, a CNN video report depicted Corrie standing in plain view of an Israeli bulldozer, with a megaphone in hand, as CNN reporter Frederik Pleitgen intoned: “These photos show the moments before she was killed
If Corrie was indeed standing with a megaphone and fully visible at the moment she was crushed, it is difficult to believe that the Israeli driver failed to see her.
The CNN report is a lie.
This photo was actually taken hours before the fatal incident. At the time of the accident, Corrie was without a megaphone and was in a hidden, crouched position.
The following photo, taken minutes after the accident, shows Corrie bleeding on the ground:
Any honest journalist can see that this second photo shows a different bulldozer. Note the large mud spot on the right side of the bulldozer’s blade. Additionally, this second bulldozer has smaller windows and an 8-foot-tall bulldozer blade that greatly obscures driver visibility.
CNN’s misleading photo and caption cannot be passed off as merely an honest mistake.
When the incident originally occurred nine years ago, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), the group that sponsored Corrie’s stay in Gaza, seized the opportunity to promote Corrie’s death as a blood libel. As ISM director George Rishmawi, told the San Francisco Chronicle, placing American students in danger is good for the Palestinian cause because “if some of these foreign volunteers get shot or even killed, then the international media will sit up and take notice.”

Of course, the bulldozer that killed Corrie wasn't a normal bulldozer. Apart from its design having a much bigger blindspot, it was built to withstand mortar and sniper fire, meaning it possessed additional obstructive armor and thick, bulletproof windows, further reducing visibility. Fortunately, these vehicles operate at a speed of about 3mph, meaning that you'd have to do something incredibly stupid like sit down in the middle of its blindspot to actually get hit by one.
Of course, this information has been out for a decade, and that hasn't stopped people from lionizing this Darwin Award candidate, so I don't exactly expect it to change any minds here.
