Israel to approve aid for IDF officers accused of Gaza war crimes
The government is set to approve a bill Sunday to grant aid and support to Israel Defense Forces officers in cases where they face suits for alleged war crimes from Operation Cast Lead.
And, I expect they will need it...

Israelis forced to admit White Phosphorous used in Gaza
After weeks of strenuous denial that it had used white phosphorous in the heavily populated Gaza Strip, Israel finally admitted yesterday that the controversial weapon had been deployed in its offensive.
The army's use of white phosphorous -- with its distinctive shell burst of dozens of separate smoke trails -- was revealed on January 5, and denied by the army. Now, in the face of mounting evidence, Israel has been forced to backtrack.

UN Special Rapporteur likens Gaza to Warsaw Ghetto
UN special rapporteur Richard Falk called for an independent inquiry into Israel's violation of international humanitarian law. Falk said Israel's actions against the besieged Gazans are reminiscent of "the worst kind of international memories of the Warsaw Ghetto" which included the starvation and murder of Polish Jews by Nazi Germany in World War Two.
Travel advisory issued for top IDF (Israeli Death Force) officers
IDF officers intending to travel to Europe, whether for business or pleasure, have been advised to contact the Judge Advocate General's Office prior to leaving Israel; and some may be instructed not to leave the country. The advisory has been issued following Israel's concern that international arrest warrants may be issued against officers who were involved in the Israeli offensive in Gaza, on charges of war crimes.

Israel expects army officers to be prosecuted for war crimes
A number of human rights organizations, and the International Red Cross, have already indicated they are looking at breaches of international law. The whole question of the legality of the Gaza War is also being examined. Amnesty International has written to the United Nations Security Council calling for the establishment of full accountability for crimes committed in the Gaza conflict and for deployment of human rights monitors. In the letter, Amnesty says it wants the Security Council to “take firm action to ensure full accountability for war crimes and other serious abuses of international human rights and humanitarian law.”

A walk through Gaza
As you stroll, remember your tax dollars and silence made all of this possible...
America's War Crimes in Gaza by Paul Findley
The American people, largely unaware about our governments subservience to Israel, are unwitting partners in the inhuman brutality being inflicted on the people of Gaza. The fighter planes, helicopter gun-ships, tanks, and missiles used to visit death, injury and destruction upon the Palestinians are gifts of the U.S. government. In the UN Security Council, only the United States opposed a call for an immediate ceasefire.
Without Americas unconditional military and political support, Israel could never carry out the destruction of Gaza or its humiliation of Palestinians in the West Bank and other war crimes. Americas indifference to the plight of Gazans makes we wonder if our citizens have lost all capacity for moral outrage.
If you wish to find out who is really responsible for Israels scofflaw behavior and war crimes, look in the mirror. Citizens like you and me let lobbyists for a small, ruthless government make America its uncomplaining servant.

The Zionists leaders will pay for their war crimes in Gaza
The public, moral and judicial test will be applied to the three Israeli statesmen who sent the Israel Defense Forces to war against a helpless population, one that did not even have a place to take refuge, in maybe the only war in history against a strip of land enclosed by a fence. Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barak and Tzipi Livni will stand at the forefront of the guilty.

Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is not self-defence – it’s a war crime
Israel’s actions amount to aggression, not self-defence, not least because its assault on Gaza was unnecessary. Israel could have agreed to renew the truce with Hamas. Instead it killed 225 Palestinians on the first day of its attack. As things stand, its invasion and bombardment of Gaza amounts to collective punishment of Gaza’s 1.5m inhabitants contrary to international humanitarian and human rights law. In addition, the blockade of humanitarian relief, the destruction of civilian infrastructure, and preventing access to basic necessities such as food and fuel, are prima facie war crimes.

Israel targets Press TV station in Gaza
Israeli forces have targeted the Press TV television station in the Gaza Strip.
And, the Zionists attempts to silence the Press. It should be noted that Israel has prohibited "foreign jounalists" from entering Gaza. The journalist inside of Gaza are mostly Palestinians - therefore, Israel apparently considers them legitimate targets.

ICRC: Israel delayed access to wounded for days
A Palestinian boy, who also holds Russian citizenship, sits atop a Red cross vehicle as he waits with his family to leave the Gaza Strip January 8, 2009
The International Red Cross accused Israel Thursday of "unacceptable" delays in letting rescue workers reach three Gaza City homes hit by shelling where they eventually found 15 dead and 18 wounded, including young children too weak to stand.
First, it was the United Nations, now the International Red Cross has accused Israel of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity. I ask again, what kind of people are these Zionists? And, what kind of people would support these Zionists murderers??
U.N. halts aid deliveries in Gaza, blames Israel
Palestinians gather around the remains of a Gaza City mosque Thursday after it was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike.The United Nations halted all aid deliveries to the besieged Gaza Strip Thursday, citing a series of Israeli attacks on U.N. staff and installations.
Now, even the United Nations is blaming Israel of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity...
The Gaza War and International Law
The Israeli government has defended its attacks on ostensibly civilian targets in Gaza, such as UN schools and a TV station, because the sites allegedly were being used by Hamas fighters or were part of the Hamas infrastructure, even as the international community recoils at the carnage.

Olmert indicted as deputy is accused of war crimes
On August 1 the Independent reported claims made in a book by two Israeli journalists that Shaul Mofaz in 2001 called for a death toll of 70 Palestinians a day.
A leading Israeli law professor has written to justice officials, calling for the investigation into claims – highlighted by The Independent last month – that during a briefing to army officers in May 2001, after the start of the second Palestinian uprising, Mr Mofaz ordered a daily "quota" of Palestinian deaths.
And, judging from the number of Palestinian women and children which have been murdered, the IDF did their level best to meet their quota.

Evidence of Israeli 'Cowardly Blending' Comes to Light
"A new report, written by a respected Israeli human rights organization, one representing the country's Arab minority, not its Jewish majority, has unearthed evidence showing that during the fighting Israel committed war crimes not only against Lebanese civilians – as was already known – but also against its own Arab citizens. This is an aspect of the war that has been almost entirely neglected until now."
