Rachel Corrie Lawyer: Nazi’s Founding was Legal, Israel’s Founding was “Theft”

An Israeli court ruled that Rachel Corrie’s death was a “regrettable accident,” but that Rachel Corrie “chose to put herself in danger.”

Rachel Corrie was killed when she was run over by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza, at a time when Israel was working to curb terrorist activity in the area.

[Benyamin Yehudi notes: “The army report obtained by the Guardian says Corrie: “was struck as she stood behind a mound of earth that was created by an engineering vehicle operating in the area and she was hidden from the view of the vehicle’s operator who continued with his work. Corrie was struck by dirt and a slab of concrete resulting in her death.” Source: guardian.co.uk]

Corrie’s family sued Israel for “wrongful death.”

The lawyer for the Corrie family, an Israeli Arab named Hussein Abu Hussein, said that Nazi Germany’s founding was legal while Israel’s founding was “theft”.

In a Palestinian Authority TV interview, Abu Hussein said Israel’s founding was worse than the founding of Nazi Germany because “Nazi Germany was a state based on the rule of law for a short while,” whereas “the State of Israel was founded from the start on robbery and theft.” He also called Israel a “giant monster” and indicated that people should take action against Israel: “We all want to step on its head, but talking is not enough. Everyone has their role.”

The following is a portion of the transcript of Abu Hussein’s interview with Israeli Arab actor, Mohammad Bakri, who hosts the weekly PA TV show:

Hussein Abu Hussein, Israeli Arab lawyer:
“Nazi Germany was a state based on the rule of law for a short while and it found refuge in the law. [However,] the State of Israel was founded from the start on robbery and theft of a nation’s homeland. Actually, the correct and true legal definition of what happened to the Palestinians is homeland theft… We suffer from a great injustice from the giant monster. This monster attacks us daily and bites into our flesh in the Negev, the Galilee, the Triangle [region in Israel], Jerusalem, and the occupied territories, the West Bank and Gaza. Every day it bites into our body.”

Mohammad Bakri, Israeli Arab actor:
“I want to step on the head of this monster.”

Hussein Abu Hussein, Israeli Arab lawyer:
“We all want to step on its head, but talking is not enough. Everyone has their role.”
