dub Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has put the justice minister in charge of defending Israel against charges of war crimes during its 22-day Gaza assault, a government source said Friday. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon demanded that those responsible for bombing UN buildings in the Palestinian territory should be made accountable and accused Israel of using excessive force. Amnesty International said it was "undeniable" that Israel had used white phosphorus in crowded civilian areas, contrary to international law, charging that this amounted to a war crime. Eight Israeli human rights groups have called on the Israeli government to investigate given the scale of the casualties, describing the number of dead women and children as "terrifying." Gaza medics put the death toll at 1,330 with at least 5,450 wounded. Some 65 percent of the dead were civilians, including 400 children and 100 women. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090123/twl-i...ar-3cd7efd.html Quote

He Who Hesistates Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 People just want equality when it benefits them. I think we could find quite a lot of instances where that is not true. It is, however, in this case a valid point. This is why Mr. Canada is all more right- we, the uninvolved rest of the world, must enforce these protocols and values, since no one over there will.
