The case actually only asked for two things from Israel:
1] admission of wrongful death and orders to commit wrongful death.
and
2] A $1 token symbolic payment to the family for their grief and loss.
But Israel never does any wrong....even when murdering peaceful and just protesters, attempting to protect the persecuted. It is injustice piled on injustice upon injustice. The family has vowed to fight on. A great family. Rachel was a great person and a great loss. A more morally worthy person than all of the leaders in government and military and many of the citizenry in Israel combined, IMO! The right to protest all around the world is increasing being met with deadly force and the admonition,'if you don't want to be hurt or killed, don't be there [i.e. never protest anything...be a silent slave /passive witness to fascism, imperialism, militarism, injustice].
