Rachel Corrie's death-by-bulldozer case heard 8 years on by Israeli courts

Rachel Corrie, victim of bulldozing to death in Israel, 2003, while protesting the Palestinian right to shelter and to challenge the
oppressive state. She is now the subject of a staged play in her name.
Testimony ends in Israel case over killed American
At least reckless bulldozer driving should be claimed in this grim case of Corrie's crushing to death, where accountability has not yet been settled.
"An Israeli court heard its final witness Sunday in a trial surrounding the death of American activist Rachel Corrie, who was crushed by an Israeli military bulldozer in the Gaza Strip in 2003."
"Corrie, a pro-Palestinian activist from Olympia, Washington, who was 23 at the time, was killed when she stood before the bulldozer on the Gaza-Egypt border. She and other activists believed the military was about to demolish nearby Palestinian homes."

Old and Sexy!
In Lebanon, vintage cars maintain their sexy cool:
"I visited the classic car show last weekend a great show displaying up to sixty cars dating back the 1920’s to the 1970’s, the exhibition of classic cars belonging to prestigious Lebanese personalities and officials from the last century, as well as belonging to Lebanese private car collectors . Will leave you with some pictures." (Still open at Beirut Souks, Downtown)

The importance of design for the government and for politics
What else might you expect from the Lebanese government's 'designs': One blogger expresses his distaste for their choice in the Urban Transport Project's vision.
"The above sticker haunts me. (See by clicking below)
It’s not enough that the mere presence of Lebanese taxi drivers brings the right amount of irritation to spoil the rest of your day. The sticker had to be added. Apparently, it’s part of the Urban Transport Project by the ministries of Interior and Public Works to rebuild the trust in Lebanon’s public transportation. Granted, this could be a step forward, but really, couldn’t they come up with a better, more trustworthy design?"
