Palestinian Authority seeks ICC war crimes case against Israel


THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki said there was "clear evidence" of war crimes by Israel during its offensive in Gaza as he met International Criminal Court prosecutors on Tuesday to push for an investigation.

Malki visited The Hague shortly after Israel and the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement that dominates Gaza entered a 72-hour truce mediated by Egypt in an effort to secure an extended ceasefire.

Last week, the United Nations launched an inquiry into human rights violations and crimes alleged to have been committed by Israel during its offensive, given the far higher toll of civilian deaths and destruction on the Palestinian side.

Yep. About time.

But Israel has more 'technicalities' than OJ Simpson.

And you can bet if found guilty the US will veto any punishment or enforcement of findings.
The real question is, "How far will the US go in becoming an (obvious) war criminal itself, in protection of its Middle Eastern attack dog?"

But it a welcome step in the right direction.

Now the important thing to note is that the Gazian Population knows all about it. They even warn the News Reporter not to go near the site because it is subject to IDF fire. It leads one to believe that the general population is actively supporting the HAMAS to use such places.

This is an open violation of Rule 97: The use of human shields is prohibited, caught in video. Hopefully there will be more such evidence emerge as time elapses.

The IDF doesn't need to use 'technicalities'.

I rather stick with a war-criminal US (Really?? ?) Over the other "alternative " in the world.. so you can keep asking your provocative questions and stick with your filthy Iran-Iraq-Syria combo.

It will be interesting to see what the ICC says in terms of "jurisdiction" and "effective control."

Is "Palestine" really a "state?" If it is --- who has control of the state?

Yes this will be interesting.

Rocco, you polite Nazi you,

As the aggressor, Israel has no right to self defence.
As the defender and resister, Gaza DOES.

Hamas may not be the nicest club in the world, but it is an ARMED RESISTANCE MOVEMENT, which comes out of the population, so of course has support within it.

Hamas did try to go the democratic route, but with an Israeli / US embargo on any dealings with them since they won the election, coupled by the Israeli sponsored attempted coup there by Fatah, they were forced onto a war footing, then a siege footing.

Hamas, may still be guilty of war crimes.

THAT MAKES NO GODDAMN DIFFERENCE TO ISRAEL COMMITTING WAR CRIMES.
This is not a situation where you can say "Well the other boys were being bad tooo",

Suck it up and face your crimes.

RoccoR is one of the most informative, civilized and gentle posters on this board.

Many of the pro-Israeli and Pro-Palestinian posters around here, at many times, were left dumbfounded when crossed with his well based, clean from incitements, sources.

You stating he's a nazi is rude and offending, and shows you have very little idea about who to pounce and who to listen to.

Don't make fun of yourself any longer and apologize to him while you're at it.

Add in the growing UN complicity scandal and you have quite a stew brewing. The Pals and UNRWA may need some technicalities.

In the name of whom they'll sue? the Palestinian government is currently Hamas, and if "Palestine" will go against Israel in Hamas' behalf it will create a very ironic situation.

Not to mention, the authorities now say we (southerner Israelis) have the ability to sue Hamas back for damages and loses.

Can't wait to see where this is going.

Rocco you're dancing around the truth again...Palestine was Recognized by the UN as a non-member State like Switzerland and the Vatican and has rights to the ICC, but you knew that, keep dancing!

 

[Lipush]

I don't like the policy of our government, but I must say, "Palestine", meaning HAMAS, a recognized terror organization, suing a state is kind of rediculous.

The "crime" committed towards the people of Gaza is "direct" "result" of the current Israeli policies, which were pretty much ignoring the Hamas' war crimes against civilians in southern Israel.

We're the transparent people no-one bothers to talk about.

I wonder why that is.

Say wut?

Did you use some American wierd phrase?

I don't know what that means.

 

[RoccoR]

Beelzebub, et al,

As the aggressor, Israel has no right to self defence.
As the defender and resister, Gaza DOES.

(COMMENT)

Israel is a sovereign state. It has the right under Article 51 to "self-defense" against any entity that fires upon the sovereignty of that nation and threatens the security of its people.

Hamas may not be the nicest club in the world, but it is an ARMED RESISTANCE MOVEMENT, which comes out of the population, so of course has support within it.

(COMMENT)

I'm not sure if you are claiming that HAMAS is Jihadist or if you are, by extension, claiming the entire population is Jihadist. In any event, the Resistance Movement is the aggressor once its activities threaten beyond its borders.

Hamas did try to go the democratic route, but with an Israeli / US embargo on any dealings with them since they won the election, coupled by the Israeli sponsored attempted coup there by Fatah, they were forced onto a war footing, then a siege footing.

(COMMENT)

HAMAS, in my opinion, never attempted to enter into good faith negotiations. It made demands; holding both negotiations and peace hostage.

Hamas, may still be guilty of war crimes.

(COMMENT)

Yes, and that may create a dilemma for them at the ICC, if they can get around the other issues that may preclude ICC acceptance.

THAT MAKES NO GODDAMN DIFFERENCE TO ISRAEL COMMITTING WAR CRIMES.
This is not a situation where you can say "Well the other boys were being bad tooo",

Suck it up and face your crimes.

(COMMENT)

That is true; very true. However, the right of self-dense is a trump card.
