The Israeli authorities have argued that since Corrie entered a war zone and impeded the work of bulldozers, the activist was responsible for her own death.
Rachel Corrie’s father, Craig, told the Guardian that “the case is about our own deep and personal loss, but it has become about more than that, about impunity and the protection of civilians.”
In a statement he said: “During the past nine years, we have sought accountability in the Israeli courts for Rachel's killing, but were handed a verdict that showed blind indifference to the rights of the victim and little interest in seeking truth and justice.”
