Former US justice secretary: Israeli war on Gaza genocide

Fuck her. She what she wants our military to do if she hypothedically lived on the Mexican boarder and was taking shots every day. As far as war crimes. Whers the proof????

Proof...the International Criminal Court is
on this case like flies on shit and the OVERWELMING
evidence will lead to paradigm shift that will surely
put a monkey wrench in the plan of the radical zionist plot to continue their genocidal war against the
palestenian civilians. You wait and see

We can only hope.

US study: IDF didn't violate rules of war

Israel pursued legitimate military objectives in Gaza despite humanitarian cost, study says

WASHINGTON – Israel did not violate the rules of war during its recent Gaza operation, a new US study says, while praising the IDF's "impressive improvements" since the war against Hizbullah in 2006.


Israel "deliberately used decisive force to enhance regional deterrence and demonstrate that it had restored its military edge," wrote Anthony H. Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "These, however, are legitimate military objectives in spite of their very real humanitarian costs."

The study notes that "political efforts to manipulate the "rules of war and humanitarian considerations have become a key weapon in asymmetric warfare, and are often used as a basis for propaganda and gaining political leverage in this type of conflict."


"Real suffering is translated into exaggerated charges and numbers that cannot be validated by reliable data or methodology," the study says. "In practice, even if Israel had agreed to all of the conventions involved, they are severely limited and often difficult or impossible to apply to the realities of war — even one fought with restraint and a focus on military targets."


'Noting new about such tactics'
Cordesman notes that "Some buildings like schools merit special consideration, but only require review to determine whether they are really military targets. Hospitals require warning but are not protected if used by an enemy."


"White phosphorous can be used against military but not civilian targets," he adds, noting that "such laws and conventions do not bind or restrain non-state actors like Hamas in any meaningful way."




"The end result is a situation where one side can potentially be limited by international law where the other is not, and that effectively makes international law a potential weapon for the side that rejects and exploits it," the study says. "It is also a situation that empowers and incentivizes extremists to use civilians as the equivalent of human shields by embedding their forces in civilian populations and areas, and using sensitive buildings like mosques and schools or collocating near them. There is nothing new about such tactics."

The Truth

That's only because the US is Israel's 'Lap Dog'. The Zionist State says 'Bark' and the US not only 'Barks', but also rolls over on it's back and starts wagging it's tail.

Then Israel kick's it's lap dog, in more ways than one; behind everyone's back - but at the same time right in front of their eyes.

Only fools believe that a tiny nation of 7 million can control a 300 million strong super power.

Organized blackmail, bribes and threats seems to work wonders, doesn´t it?

Well then call me a fool, JADR.

Do some research into the 'Bauer' family.

If after fully researching the 'Red Shield', you can tell me the zionist state of israel & federal reserve are not connected at the hip ...

Then at least me & others will know that your agenda isn't trying to get to the bottom of things, but towing a certain line of thinking.

It's really too bad, because Israel is fronting the 6 Pointed Star as a magickal talisman; conjuring up blood lust in every direction.

GOD BLESS THE REAL JEWISH PEOPLE. DOWN WITH THE DEVIL NEW RELIGON ZIONISTS.

Zionism is not a religion.

To quote fieldolight;
"...zionism is a form of mental illness which causes the sufferer to believe that no matter how horrific the damage or horrible the crimes inflicted on others are, the real victims are the Jews.
This is a very bizarre phenomenon."

Q&A: Israel May Escape War Crimes Charges
Thalif Deen interviews PHYLLIS BENNIS, Institute for Policy Studies (united nations)Monday, February 02, 2009
Inter Press Service

Despite widespread accusations of war crimes by Israel, there is growing scepticism of any Israeli leader being brought before an international tribunal for the killings of civilians and the targeting of schools and medical facilities during the 22-day conflict in Gaza last month.


'The number and scope of individuals and agencies calling for independent, international investigations of war crimes is unprecedented,' says Phyllis Bennis, director of the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington.

In an interview with U.N. Bureau Chief Thalif Deen, she pointed out that calls for such an investigation have come not only from high-ranking U.N. officials and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) but also from virtually every international human rights organisation operating in the area.


Excerpt from the interview follow.

IPS: What are the specific war crimes Israel is accused of committing?

PB: The Geneva Convention's prohibitions against collective punishment, targeting civilians, and disproportionate military force were all violated, as was Geneva's requirement that Israel provide medical care for the wounded. The use of sometimes-legal white phosphorous and DIME weapons was made illegal under the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons by Israel's decision to use them in densely-populated civilian neighbourhoods. Israel's (and Egypt's) denial of the Palestinian civilians' right to flee to find refuge over Gaza's borders may represent a newly-defined war crime.

Rice shame-faced by Bush over UN Gaza vote: Olmert
JERUSALEM (AFP) – Olmert said. "I said 'get me President Bush on the phone'. They said he was in the middle of giving a speech in Philadelphia. I said I didn't care. 'I need to talk to him now'. He got off the podium and spoke to me. "I told him the United States could not vote in favour. It cannot vote in favour of such a resolution. He immediately called the secretary of state and told her not to vote in favour."
