No $$$ for Terrorist-Apologist's Family

Today, Haifa District Court handed down a magnificent ruling for the death of Cindy Corrie. For those who do not know this person, she was a Leftist Wack Job who lost her life protecting the homes of the families of the terrorists who conducted suicide bombing inside Israel killing women and children. This sorry excuse for humanity was trying to protect their houses. The details of the accident vary from one side to another. She turned into a poster child for the Leftist wackos and I remember seeing her dumb picture all over Berkeley when I was in under-grad. She turned into symbol for all the Anti-Semites and Anti-Israeli campaign for accusing IDF of killing Americans. These same groups have turned a complete blind eye to all the civilians who were being murdered on weekly basis in Israel.

The legal battle quickly ensued from the family inside Israel and in the U.S. As I mentioned above, Haifa District Court handed a ruling denying the Plaintiff MONETARY Damages. The court nailed it in their beliefs as to why it was denied. The Court explained,

Judge Oded Gershon called Corrie's death a "regrettable accident", but said the state was not responsible because the incident had occurred during what he termed a war-time situation. Asserting that Corrie could have avoided danger, Gershon dismissed claims that the IDF was negligent in the incident and denied the family's suit for damages. The IDF did not violate Corrie's right to life, he said, asserting that she consciously inserted herself into a dangerous situation.

Legal Analysis:

The judge basically classified it as a “regrettable” accident. I would like to call it a “self-inflicted” accident. Since the Corrie family was suing for monetary damages, the claim they were asserting is “Negligent” and “Wrongful Death” in Torts. The first thing any 1st year law student will learn in Torts when it comes to “Negligent” is the “But For” concept. To put it in a simple format, the trier of the fact (the Jury or the Judge depending on the type of the trial) should ask this simple question: “But for Defendant’s negligent act, would the Plaintiff have suffered the damages?” After asking this question, another element to this rule is whether there are any affirmative defenses and one of the major defenses that would destroy any “negligent case” is “did the Plaintiff commit act to worsen the damages or cause the damages” and “did the Plaintiff conducted acts that assumed the risks of being physically hurt.”

Here, Cindy Corrie entered a war zone during the time that Israeli buses were blowing up in weekly basis. Israel was conducting military operation and preventive acts to ensure its citizens rights to live. Ms. Corrie was trying to defend the terrorists and their houses. Israel was simply trying to establish a concept that if you blow yourself up and kill Israeli citizens, instead of getting $50K and all sorts of rewards from the terrorist supporting groups and countries, you will lose your house. Ms. Corrie was simply trying to prevent Israel to defend its citizens. She entered a closed military zone, put herself in danger and then as a result, she ended up being sent to hell. Ms. Corrie availed herself to danger despite all the warnings from the IDF. There is no Negligent in here from IDF. Corrie is the responsible person for this death and her family should not be blaming Israel for it.
In conclusion, when you are trying to defend terrorists at wartime, it is likely that you will lose your life. I am sorry but far too many American Rachels have been killed in Israel as the result of these terrorists’ attacks. Here are the lists of the Rachels that have been killed in Israel as the result of the terrorists that Rachel Corrie was defending:

Rachel Teller, blown up in a shopping mall; Rachel Levy, blown up in a grocery store; Rachel Levi, shot while waiting for the bus; Rachel Gavish, killed with her husband, son and father while celebrating a Passover meal; Rachel Shabo, murdered with her three sons aged 5, 13 and 16 while at home.

Israel has the obligation to ensure its citizens right to live and they need to enforce policies that would prevent and deter terrorists attacks. Ms. Corrie did not have any standing to get involved in this conflict. It was not her house that was being destroyed and it did not involve her family. If Ms. Corrie did not agree with that policy, it is up to her and if she wants to take actions against it, she is assuming the risk of getting physically hurt in a military operation. Standing in front of a Bulldozer is a very stupid thing to do in a military Zone especially when the driver does not have a clear view of you. However, without entering into the details of the case, Ms. Corrie got what she deserved and her family does not even deserve a dime. Corrie was a Leftist Wack-Job and a terrorist-apologist who was defending terrorists and their activities in murdering of Israeli civilians. When you defend murderers when they kill women and children, maybe you do deserve the same faith of those women and children. Stupidity during a time that Israeli civilians were being murdered is not a claim for damages.

Joke of the Week: Iran Accuse U.S to have Terrorist Training Schools!

Once in a while, I enjoy surfing websites that are run by crazies and nut-jobs. Recently, I have been reading a lot of articles in Press TV. I want to see what Propaganda looks like these days. However, I must say I was quite surprised. This article captured my mind:

US runs academic courses to train terrorists: Iran MP
An Iranian lawmaker says the United States and its close ally, Israel, are the main sponsors of terrorism in the world, and run academic courses on terrorist subjects.

The funniest part was that they have included this picture (on the right) as a proof of these courses.

This picture is from a U.S. Command Center and it has nothing to with any sort of training and/or courses in any schools or universities. So much for honesty and/or integrity of this so-called "News-Source".

So Iran accuse U.S to have Terrorist Training courses. Really?! I really would love to hear the official definition of “terrorism” according to the Iranian Regime. I believe terrorism is quite clear: targeting civilian population to send a political message or make political gains. That is pretty much the broad definition of terrorism. American forces are not intentionally targeting civilians to send a political message. There is no American Policy handed down in the military to target civilians to send a political message or gain. It is Iran and their proxies in the region who are constantly involved in acts of terrorism in order to destabilize the region for political gain for the Islamic Regime of Iran. From Iraq, to Afghanistan, to Yemen, to Saudi Arabia, to Israel, to Bulgaria, to South East Asia, to Argentina: foot prints of the Iranian Regime and their acts of terror have been identified. Their diplomats and embassies in every continent have provided safe heaven to terrorist in order to TARGET innocent civilians. Yet, they are accusing U.S of training people for terrorism.
The funniest part is that Iranian people themselves are sick of these acts. They do not want to be associated with terrorism around the globe and that is one of the significant aspects of their hatred for this government. Iranian Regime from its inception back in 1979 started programs to promote and train terrorists. If you have any doubts, read the book that entails diaries of Ayatollah Montazeri. Right after the revolution, without any delay, Iran started programs to export their “Islamic Revolution.” It resulted in an unnecessary war with Iraq that killed over two million people. Instead of rebuilding the country, this regime started globalizing their deadly ideology and used terrorism to expand its influence in the region. This regime has never had any respect for civilian life and that is why “terrorism” is a simple tool for them to promote their ideologies. They see killing civilians as a justified military method to exert their superiority and power in the region. This regime would not hesitate to blatantly rape and murder its own citizens let-alone when it comes to other nations. Having these track records, of course this regime and its propaganda mouth-pieces would accuse other nations of terrorism.
Just for the humor part, wasn’t it the Iranian Regime who established terrorist camps right after the 1979 revolution in the “holy” city of Qum? Wasn’t Iran who mastered the art of suicide bombing and promoting it in the region? Wasn’t it Iran who started training terrorists and exported them to other nations?
I just find it very funny that Press TV would publish stuff like these. I have a feeling that there might be an internal competition as to who could put the stupidest article as new on that website.

Hamas’s Great Deterrence

One of the roles of government is to protect its citizen. However, the elected government of Palestinians seems to have missed the memo on that one. Here is a statement by Zamar who is a Hamas leader. According to him, Israel will pay a heavy price if they do not accept the ceasefire that Hamas is in desperate need in order to regroup and rearm itself. The heavy price that Zamar is trying to deter Israel with is not a new weapon, air force, technology, or military tactic. Hamas is trying scare of Israel by threatening to kill its own citizen. Zamar said, “Israel may have 200 nuclear warheads, but Hamas has 200,000 people who want to blow themselves up inside Israel,” Click Here for the story.

Think about it: instead of protecting its citizens, Hamas is simply willing to sacrifice 200,000 of its own citizen to deliver a message to Israel. Keep in mind, this government is democratically elected by Palestinians and it is a perfect signature of pathetic Palestinian cause. How pathetic is this Palestinian Cause? This is why the Palestinian Cause that Western Academia is so found of is nothing but a terrorist cause. Another question is: they do not even value the lives of their own people, who would in their right mind think that they would have any mercy on the lives of Israelis if one day get any sort of power to cause any damage to Israel?

This is the great difference between Zionism and Palestinian terrorism. Israel values its citizens’ lives and will do anything to defend it. Palestinian cause is a terrorist cause that will do anything to achieve its evil intentions even if it requires slaughtering 200,000 of their own citizens.

By the way, this is not the problem with Palestinians. This is the problem with the “religion of peace”. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (The leader of the great Islamic revolution of Iran) said once that we have over one billion Muslims; there is nothing wrong with sacrificing half of it to destroy Israel. However, the pathetic and terrorist cause of Palestinian has fallen in to the same trap. Their only goal is not simply to liberate their land; their only goal is to bring back the Muslim rule to this peace of land. They are willing to use any means necessary to achieve that goal. The greatest achievement they have had is making a mockery of “human rights” and institutions that are supposed uphold such rights. They just simply cannot accept a Jewish nation, not because of its Zionists values, but simply because it is a Jewish government. This is why the terrorist cause of Palestinians reeks with anti-Semitic remarks and rhetoric. This hatred of Jews is so powerful that they will sacrifice 200,000 of their citizens and not even a soul in Palestinian territory is going to criticize this government.
