The family of US activist Rachel Corrie, run over by an Israeli bulldozer during a demonstration in Gaza in 2003, will sue the Jewish state over her death, their lawyer said on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old killed at the height of the 2000 Palestinian intifada, or uprising, became an symbol of foreign support for the Palestinian cause and the subject of a 2005 play based on her emails and diary.
"The state should take responsibility for the death of Rachel Corrie. We believe her killing was done intentionally or at least out of negligence and wrongdoing," Hussein Abu Hussein, the family's lawyer, told AFP.
The family will be travelling to Israel for the trial, which will start March 10, Abu Hussein said
Activists who witnessed Corrie's death said she and others were acting as human shields to prevent a house demolition in the Gaza border town of Rafah for more than two hours and were clearly visible to the bulldozer driver.
"The whole time she was wearing a fluorescent jacket, as were her friends, and she had a megaphone," Abu Hussein said.

Ideology meets reality. She wasn’t a candidate for a Darwin award because she was below-average dumb.
Most innappropriate joke ever... Lol
Feel the love!
Corrie reminds me of the scene in the Austin Powers movie where the henchman gets squished by the sloooooooow moving rolling paver.
Motions will be squashed and the case will fall flat.
“Rachael was a sort of proto-Obama supporter. That crazy intensity was evident in 2008. Scary.”
Considering her parents are members of “End The Occupation NOW”, why are you surprised??
Exactly what do they mean by “end the occupation”?
They need to be made to answer that.
The answer is “driving the Jews into the sea”.
Even the baby jihadis are looking at her like she’s a whack job.
God bless Israel. And bulldozers.
The Rachel Corrie Symphony in EEEEEEEEEEEE flat.
Can the IDF run them over with a D-9, too?
Please?
How can anyone care about the late batshiat crazy pancake person Rachel Corrie, when the even more batshiat crazy Lori Berenson is still suffering in a prison in Peru for just wanting to slaughter people like farm animals in support of the Shining Path Maoist terrorist group?
How oppressive can these evil governments be, to not want their country turned into another Khmer Rouge killing fields? Don’t they realize that “the people’s revolution” has a need for blood worse than Dracula and all his minions?
Official Cause of Death: She was too thin.
Ha! Amen. In fact to get her to shut up they probably pushed her down in front of the bulldozer.
"God bless Israel. And bulldozers."
Hear! Hear!
While, as a parent myself, I can only imagine how her family feels. That being said, you hit the nail right on the head. Where was this US activist when Israeli children were being killed by the very factions she was protesting for? IMHO, the parents are, at least in part, to blame for this.
Wow! Never saw that coming. </sarcasm>
Maybe they should sue the gubmint schools that she went to. Seems they failed to educate her good enough that she would know that she couldnt whip a dozer.
