The family of Olympia activist Rachel Corrie who was
fatally crushed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza accused the Israeli military of whitewashing its investigation into the death during the opening of a civil case against Israel on Wednesday.

The parents of Rachel Corrie are seeking unspecified
compensation from Israel's Defense Ministry for their daughter's death in 2003.

Corrie, 23, was killed when she tried to block a bulldozer from demolishing a Gaza home. The driver said he didn't see her, and the Israeli military has ruled her death an accident - a version her parents reject.

Corrie was an activist with the International Solidarity
Movement, a group that sends foreigners into volatile hot spots to assist Palestinians. The activists often place themselves between Israeli forces and Palestinians to try to stop the Israeli military
from carrying out operations.
