Thread Name: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
"He claims that Israel is guilty of other unspecified war crimes,"
So the claim that he said that only Hamas is guilty of war crimes
"that Hamas are the ones perpetrating war crimes against Israel and not the other way round."
is not correct.
"he DOES state that the Hamas rockest are each war crimes"
Old news - no "moment of extreme candour".
The rockets, which have killed around twenty Israelis in 12 years are arguably a war crime.
The now more than 2000 dead in the latest (one of four) invasions of Gaza, if not war crimes in themselves, have included many such crimes.
Israel's part in Sabra Shatila was a crime against humanity which was never brought to court.
As with all casualty figures in these conflicts, Israel's war crimes and crimes against humanity far outweigh those of Gaza.
A leading Hamas figure has now put his hands up to War Crimes - do you think we will have to wait long before someone from the other side does the same?
I'm not sure how long I can hold my breath.
