Report Copyright Violation | Israel, Hezbollah Violated Humanitarian Law. Off the wire: (This post is a condensed version of the original article) [ link to www.newsday.com] Four human rights experts have accused both Hezbollah and the Israeli army of violating humanitarian law during their recent conflict, a report released Tuesday said... This latest document describes as "serious violations of both human rights and humanitarian law" instances where Israeli forces appear not to have distinguished between civilian and military objectives, failed to have acted proportionality, or didn't taken all feasible precautions to minimize damage to civilians... Israel's ambassador to the United Nations office in Geneva would not comment on specific aspects of the report, saying only that his country welcomed the fact that it criticized Hezbollah for violating humanitarian law... The report urges Hezbollah to "publicly affirm that it is bound by international humanitarian law" and to "renounce the targeting of civilians in all circumstances." Great spirits have always experienced violent opposition from mediocre minds. -A. Einstein
