The issue of war crimes in Gaza has been raised by
senior UN officials and Human Rights groups
and World News media for an international war
crimes investigation.

Should it proceed?

A war crimes tribunal is a good idea if it gets to the truth and acts to stop innocent people from being killed.

However, in the heat of the battle this never happens, After all, the truth is always the first casualty in war.

What will happen is that a judgement will be made after all the dust has settled down and the facts become more evident. If deemed appropriate, a tribunal will be set up to deal with any unresolved matters. This is not particularly satisfactory from a humanitarian point of view, but about the best that will happen.

This is toooo serious to ignore.

"Sure" it should proceed.. just as much as the war crimes committed by Hamas over the past many years launching indiscriminant rockets into civilian towns of Israel!

You can't morally have one without the other. (to try is to exhibit moral bankruptcy

surely the UN must have invented some law that makes it a crime to use human shields in war. Oh that's right it won't apply to Hamas because they are such an upright organisation.

runner,

Kindly stick to the topic of this thread.

Please?

England and ireland are in a position or should i say the same war as israel and palestine .The irish let bombs off in england and the palestinians let rockets off to smash israel.Terrorism starts in the home and war crimes start in the home as well .Palestine needs to become more educated to leed there own country becoming a self motivated people and not letting others like Hamas destroy palestine as the palestinian people live in the rubble of wasted hope .David.see you launa sedman .peace is a very short road but many cannot find it.
