No, the Palestinians do not have a standing army. Palestine has standing terrorists. Those are the ones Israel is trying to eradicate.

For the life of me, McGrath, I don't understand why you, and many others who agree with you, believe that an International Tribunal would be fairer than each individual country trying those who commit crimes against them. I don't agree with your P.O.V. at all (not that it will come as a surprise to you of course :>))

I doubt very seriously if any of the countries you name in one of your earlier posts would agree to by-pass their own courts in favor of a world court or tribunal.
