For 2 years Israeli has blockaded Gaza - another crime against humanity - even many fair-minded Israeli Jews have seen the injustice of this and support the Palestinians. This is not at all a black and white issue at all in Isreal's favour. |

So it makes little difference that they missed their target and instead slaughtered dozens of unarmed civilians or were lying about "returning fire" coming from inside the school and were in fact aiming for dozens of unarmed civilians. |

Today's news is that hundreds of acres of West Bank land is being allowed for settlers from Israel - direct convention of all international law - and they reakon they want peace and justice - what bullshit.

I hear you talk about all the problems, rarely do I hear you speak about solutions!

So make it peace, harmony, nature and no-land-ownership. Better? I hold no sympathy for those who fight, regardless of what sides. |

War crimes? Didn't the war leading to the establishment of Israel end in the 60's?

Iran asks Interpol to arrest Israeli war criminals
Sun, 01 Mar 2009 23:36:57 GMT Tehran's Public Prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi Interpol begins studying Iran's request for the arrest of 15 senior Israeli officials over war crimes committed during the Gaza offensive. At a news briefing on Sunday, Tehran's Public Prosecutor, Saeed Mortazavi, said that Iran had referred the case to the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO or Interpol), drawing on the organization's charter and Israel's violation of the Geneva Conventions. "Governments of 180 countries have received the information necessary for identifying the suspects," he said. In a Monday statement, Iran's judiciary said that it has asked Interpol to issue an international Red Notice security alert for the 15 Israeli officials who were involved in the 23-day Israeli offensive on Gaza. The statement added that the judiciary was also looking into complaints made against 100 other Israelis, with top military and government posts. In December 2008, Iran's judicial body announced a decision to set up a court to investigate complaints, made by wounded Gazans against Israel and delivered to Iran by the Palestinian envoy. The judiciary said that it would be ready to try the implicated Israeli officials in absentia. "In the current week, we have completed our investigation of about 15 individuals who were among those criminals," IRIB, Iran's State Television, quoted Mortazavi as saying. "Based on our investigation and according to article 2 of the Interpol charter, we asked Interpol to arrest these suspects." Mortazavi said the charges included war crimes, invasion, occupation, genocide and crimes against humanity. The Iranian prosecutor was referring to Israeli strikes that started on December 27 on the densely populated Palestinian coastal territory and did not end until it had claimed the lives of more than 1,330 Gazans, mostly civilians. Many international NGOs and human rights organizations, Palestinians wounded in the Gaza onslaught, more than 5,700 Iranian lawyers and attorneys in the Iranian Bar Association along with a large number of medics were also among those who filed complaints against Tel Aviv, Mortazavi added. The list of Israeli war criminals includes: 1 Outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert 2 Defense Minister Ehud Barak 3 Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni 4 Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi 5 Commander in Chief of the Israeli Air Force Ido Nehoshtan 6 Commander of the Gaza war -- Operation Cast Lead -- Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant 7 Head of Military Intelligence Directorate Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin 8 Commander of Battalion 13 in the Golani Brigade Lt. Col. Oren Cohen 9 Deputy to the Givati Brigade Col. Ron Ashrov 10 Commander of the Israel Paratroopers' Brigade in Gaza Col. Hertzi Halevy 11 Commander of 401st Armored Corps Brigade convoy Col. Yigal Slovik 12 Commander of the 101st Battalion in the Paratrooper Brigade Lt. Col. Avi Blot 13 Lt. Col. Yoav Mordechai, who served as a commander of the Golani infantry brigade's 13th Battalion in Gaza 14 Givati squad commander Col. Tomer Tsiter 15 Brigade commander in Battalion 51 Col.

I really hope some thing done about those war crimes - remember Israel dropped tens of thousands of cluster bombs in Lebanon, even disguising to make look like toys so children would pick them up
