The trial seeking justice for the murder of Rachel Corrie is underway.Rachel was an activist who fell victim to the relentless Israeli demolition crew.
In 2003 Rachel was crushed by a 4-meter high Caterpillar D9-R bulldozer as she and other members of the International Solidarity Movement attempted to protect a home from imminent demolition in Rafah.

Rachel's size in relation to the enormous piece of machinery
Just to get an idea of the strength of these vehicles
Upon questioning at the trial, "Yossi" a military (IDF) training leader, stated:
"During war there are no civilians"
The Israeli military has tirelessly toured Palestinian villages demolishing entire settlements of innocent civilians.
Furthermore, adding insult to injury by destroying crops & groves.
Nearly salting the earth to ensure inhabitants can't support themselves.
In some cases even waiting till the tribes begin to rebuild, and returning to tear that down.
It's a wretched example of how ugly humans can be.
It's Jewish hatred towards Muslim neighbors, and it doesn't stray too far from the German's treatment of Jews under Hitler.
In 2004 a report entitled "Razing Rafah" was released,
it documents how at that point 10% of the population had lost their homes.
Victims to the expansion of Israels borders.
From 1967-2007 the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD)
estimated 19,000 Palestinian homes had been demolished.
Israel refuses to draw its borders.
Their buffer zone has expanded 35%, displacing 113,000 Palestinians inside the Gaza Strip over the last 10 years.
