Anything Israels does to defend itself is considered a war crime.

I say Israel declares war on any country that lays a finger on one of its citizens traveling abroad and makes it known beforehand that they are keeping the nuclear option open as well.

"Hizbullah also is open to war crimes allegations for deliberately targeting Israeli civilians with their rocket barrages, but no one is known to be preparing a dossier to prosecute leaders of the Shi'ite group."

It is all an excuse to bar the Jews from Europe. They are all indictible as war criminals now, I'm sure.

Europe is trying to sneak back aboard the judenrein boat. Make them all indictible for war crimes.

Fine. Isreal should counter-sue Lebanon for allowing Hizb'Allah to set up for six years. Isreal should be awarded double whatever the settlement is for Lebanon.

Isn't Jan Egeland the same guy who called the US "stingy" after the tsunami?

The antisemitic International Court of Criminals is hard at work building illegal claims against those who defend themselves. Hague needs to go the way of Carthage.

How many of the dead lebonese were terrorists? Since the enemy of Israel was not wearing uniforms, and Israel went to great pains to contact civilians and tell them to evacuate before their attacks (one good way to ensure you miss the bad guys is to tell them "I'll be there in 20 minutes"), Israel is NOT guilty of war crimes. The lebanese government, and the fact that they allowed a terrorist group to wage a war against a sovereign country is guilty of crimes against its own citizens.

But those are facts, and a trial involving Israel will have no use for something as silly as facts.

Now human rights groups in Lebanon are collecting evidence that could be used in cases filed under a legal principle known as universal jurisdiction
which says that war crimes are so serious they can be prosecuted anywhere, not just where they were committed.

Isn't it amazing the crap you can come up with when you are ignorant, young and delusional?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Israeli aircraft and artillery killed more than 850 Lebanese during the 34-day conflict, most of them civilians

Of course they were all "civilians"!

A very frightening doctrine, even for a toothless (for now) organization like the UN to operate under.

If lawyers are going to fight the future wars then give them guns and send them out. Otherewise, STFU.
