Civilian casualties are only a war crime if you intentionally killed them. Israel was practically begging them to get out of the area, but Hamas was ordering them to stay put. Rachel Cory died because she was stupid enough to jump on the front of a moving bulldozer.
The only naivety here is from those that do not think Israel has committed war crimes. It is not just 100,000 people. The UN has found Israel guilty of war crimes on numerous occasions. Here is recent UN condemnation of Israeli atrocities in 2014: http://www.timesofisrael.com/un-gaza-report-says-israel-hamas-may-have-committed-war-crimes/
I would personally rather see Blair tried for war crimes than Bibi. Blair is a much bigger criminal than Netanyahu. Incidentally, is a citizen arrest still possible? What would happen if Bibi were to be arrested by a citizen?
You think that solely because you are an American. There is a reason why Americans have a fetish for the Jews, and we can begin with Spielberg. - - - Updated - - - Er, do you see everything in terms of religious affiliation? And they say the West is secular.
Nah, all you promote is hatred of Jews and that is easy to see because the only nationalism you find abhorent is Jewish nationalism.
Well, in the case of Israel, it is the Jews that are hated and the Muslims defended and it is religion that determines the Jihad against Jews and in this case, the progressives have joined the religious Jihad.
Like I said, you view everything in terms of religion. I suppose the Iraq war was all about Christian crusaders attacks the Muslims, right?
So isn't it interesting no one wants anyone in Iran arrested for killing 120,000 students or thousands of Kurds, Bahaiis, Zoroastreans, Christians, feminists, gays. Assad? Putin? The head of Sudan? Hey now the selectivity is something else. How about Obama? Oh come on you guys really need to find something else to do these (*)(*)(*)(*) on Israel posts are getting lamer and lamer. I am not sure what is more absurd, the exclamation marks or the cheer leading. I think I am going to start a petition asking for anyone using !!!!!! to be arrested
History proves otherwise, but if your getting your information from jihadwatch, I can understand your present mindset.
And Islam having Jihads has what exactly to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict? Were the early Christian militias who fought against the Zionist state also waging Jihad?
Maybe you should hire the "A Team" ? and get a Discovery crew as well to cut expenses and make a record to generations to come ?
Even if there was such a thing as citizens arrest, that citizen would be dead before he could even get within 20 meters of him. If Blair is a criminal, then Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are too, as well as Cameron, Harper, Sarkozy.... When the United Nations General Assembly unanimously affirmed the Nürnberg principles in 1946, it affirmed the principle of individual accountability for the crimes of carrying out or permitting slavery, torture, genocide, war of aggression, or crimes against humanity. Barack Hussein Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, David Cameron and Stephen Harper are all guilty, under International Law, of willful planning, preparing and initiating of a war of aggression against Libya. http://tapnewswire.com/2011/10/david-cameron-declared-a-war-criminal/ --------------- So, why are the Brits only jumping on Netanyahoo? I guess to test the waters to see how far they can get. Lets keep an eye on this thing!
Unfortunately just when the rest of the world was seeing Colonization as a bad thing, the Zionists started a Colony. Bad timing. I doubt religion was the prime motivator to resistance to the Zionist project. But don't take my word for it listen to the first zionist prime minister, In our political argument abroad, we minimize Arab opposition to us. But let us not ignore the truth among ourselves. I insist on the truth, not out of respect for scientific but political realities. The acknowledgement of this truth leads to inevitable and serious conclusions regarding our work in Palestine… let us not build on the hope the terrorist gangs will get tired. If some get tired, others will replace them. A people which fights against the usurpation of its land will not tire so easily... it is easier for them to continue the war and not get tired than it is for us... https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/David_Ben-Gurion
When you start calling people (bad) names, you know you've lost the debate. Perhaps if Netanyahu strapped bombs on 10 year old girls and sent them into Palestinian restaurants he would win your approval. It worked for Arafat.
Are you jealous of the few dollars they get? Where, tell me, could they even build housing for themselves? Israel regularly reduces everything to rubble. They are not allowed to import building material; ships are not allowed to anchor at a Palestinian harbor, IF they actually have one. In this latest quest now the Jews declare the area simply an archaeological site!! Who is suppose to believe that?
