Judicial Burqa in the trial of Rachel Corrie's killing by Israeli soldiers

The Israeli soldier at the controls of a bulldozer that crushed to death 23-year-old Rachel Corrie in Gaza in March 2003 is due to give evidence tomorrow in the civil lawsuit brought by the American activist's family.
However the judge hearing the case in Haifa has ruled that, for security reasons, the soldier can testify anonymously from behind a screen, denying Cindy and Craig Corrie the opportunity to face the man who directly caused their daughter's death.

That's ironic because ethics inspired by judaic religious tradition focuses on the face as a metaphor for humanity and a central point in the moral sentiment.

UPDATE: AT the trial today october 21st, YB, the veiled soldier who was at the command of the bulldozer that killed Rachel Corrie, told the court that calling an ambulance to help someone who was hit by his bulldozer 'was not his level of command'...
