\r\n\tThe parents of Rachel Corrie asked for a decision clearing the military of any responsibility for her death to be overturned, alleging "negligence" in the treatment of the case by an Israeli court.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t"I think they've set a very low threshold in terms of what would be considered negligence, and just ignored the lack of a credible and thorough investigation," Rachel's father Craig Corrie said, referring to the 2012 court ruling.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t"If you take (all the material for the appeal) together, what you have is a mechanism that allows the Israeli military to act with impunity," he told journalists before the hearing.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t"As an ex-soldier myself I think that's very dangerous."<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tHis wife Cindy Corrie said: "I think there are very important decisions that this court needs to make that impact far more than Rachel."<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tIt was unclear when the Supreme Court would rule on the appeal.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tAn Israeli court in 2012 cleared the army of any responsibility for Corrie's death, rejecting a civil suit filed by the family.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe ruling sparked an angry reaction from the family, with Cindy Corrie accusing the Israeli authorities of a cover-up.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tAccording to eyewitness accounts, the 23-year-old was killed by a military bulldozer in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on March 16, 2003.<\/p>\r\n
