Call for an investigation of Israeli war crimes
There is evidence that Israel committed war crimes during its operation in the Gaza Strip, a United Nations official said.
U.N. investigator Richard Falk, whose official title is U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, called for an independent inquiry into the issue on Thursday, Reuters reported.
Falk, who is Jewish, compared Israel's operation in civilian areas and its sealing of Gaza's borders to the Warsaw Ghetto.
"To lock people into a war zone is something that evokes the worst kind of international memories of the Warsaw Ghetto and sieges that occur unintentionally during a period of wartime," he said.
Falk added that the entire civilian population has likely been scarred for life by the operation and that all the residents of Gaza can be considered casualties of the Israeli assault.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appointed Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann to look into issues relating to potential legal suits against Israel or Israeli officials over strikes against civilians in Gaza.There is evidence that Israel committed war crimes during its operation in the Gaza Strip, a United Nations official said.

ISRAELI LEADERS MUST BE ARRESTED AND JUDGED IMMEDIATELY, THIS GENOCIDE AND HOLOCAUST NEVER SEEN BEFORE, THE WORLD IS MAYHEM AND WORLD CIVILIZATION AND LAW AND ORDER WILL COLLAPSE.
There is no Guarantee that the rockets will stop and there never will be, we must save the innocent people from these places and bring them to our country where they can have freedom until an old age.. It is terrible what is happening regardless of who is right and who is wrong, (and who passed their History Course), they are all wrong when they choose to kill innocent kids, women and children (Directly or Non-Directly). Families all over the world, will live life knowing that they have Loved Ones living in these places and will forever be threatened with death, until they get out and come to our country… Which is why we should NOT BANN them from immigration laws… WORLD PEACE is the phrase, not the slaughtering of innocent people because you don‘t get what you want.. It’s a sickness, and Crimes against Humanity… WE ARE LETTING THIS HAPPEN!! It’s to late for any of them unless we get the innocent out of their and let the remaining kill themselves. Stop kissing Israel ba tuchhat and tell them to Stop! If they don’t we must save the innocent. With what ever means possible to save the innocent.. No Immigrant should be illegal. The Government has money to save many things and they have the influence to stop many things as well, the cure to the economy lies in the government's hands (The Rich & Crooked and The Rich & True), but there should be no illegal immigrant, because they are told they are illegal for what reason? Not signing up for government bullshit? Not waiting forever to have the meeting to be legal? THEY ALLOW the immigrants that come with lots of money to fill government pockets; to Be Legal,, but you want them to deny protection for innocent people who flee the War? Prosecution? And death from their own country for no reason? It is terrible what is happening in GAZA/Israel regardless of who is right and who is wrong, they are all wrong when they choose to kill innocent kids, women and children. Families all over the world, will live life knowing that they have Loved Ones living in these places and will forever be threatened with death - AND YOU WANT THEM TO DENY THEIR FAMILY THE PROTECTION THAT THEY THEMSELVES GET FROM THEIR OWN COUNTRY? - They must get out and come to our country… Which is why we should NOT BANN them from immigration laws… INNOCENT WAR SURVIVORS NEED SOMEWHERE TO GO MR… WORLD PEACE is the phrase, not BLOCKING INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM SAFTY because you don‘t get what you want.. It’s a sickness, and Crimes against Humanity… WE ARE LETTING THIS HAPPEN!! It’s to late for any of them in Israel unless we get the innocent out of their and let the remaining kill themselves. Stop kissing the Government and Israel ba tuchhat and lets show everyone what PEACE REALLY MEANS! We must save the innocent. With what ever means possible to save the innocent.. There are troops there that can bring those that want to come here, and after the last one, get the troops out and Boom!! Let the Killers in the Governments over there Kill Themselves for their God, for their History, For their Shame for what ever the reason. WE MUST STOP SUPPORTING ISRAEL WITH ARMS AND FINANCIAL FAVORS.

Everyone should read Henry Siegman's "Israel's Lies" in the 1/29/09 issue of the London Review of Books. This article should go viral around the web. Pass it on to everyone you know. http://www.lrb.co.uk/v31/n02/sieg01_.html
shame on you ISRAEL! you've got the americans behind you, haven't you???
At some point we must stop the malicious killing of innocents by a GOVERNMENT!! War crimes are WAR CRIMES!
If international law is not enforced it will give credibility to the Al Quida argument that the only option is terrorism. Israel must be investigated and prosecuted if found guilty otherwise we will be not better than Bin Laden.
The media only shows Israels side of the story which is SO EXAGGERATED MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THE VICTIMS so that we feel sympathy and even anger. They have missles, tanks and chemical weapons. LOOK IT UP! So far: 12 Israelis dead versus 1,200 Palistinians dead and 400 of those were children. They are targeting civilians because THEY WANT ALL OF THE LAND!!! It's a sin against humanity. But GOD is watching and on Judgement Day all will be revealed!! They have VIOLATED ARTICLE 51!!! WAR CRIMINALS!!!!!!!! BOMBING HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS AND BRIDGES ON PURPOSE!! LOOK IT UP ON YOU TUBE!!!!!
