   The following should be a wake-up call for any pro-Israel voters who still have illusions about the Obama Administration:

   Hagmann, who was quoted in the link contained in my Comment #2 above, is evidently unreliable:

   Sorry for the distraction. The basic concern remains, though.

   As for Lester’s comment #4—While we’re on the subject of terrorism, by what stretch has the dapper Abbas not been a terrorist himself based on his past actions and affiliations?

   Uh-Oh

   Reuters, today:
   GENEVA (Reuters) – A United Nations human rights investigator said on Thursday that Israel’s massive military assault on densely populated Gaza appeared to constitute a grave war crime.

   Richard Falk, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said the Geneva Conventions required warring forces to distinguish between military targets and surrounding civilians.

   “If it is not possible to do so, then launching the attacks is inherently unlawful and would seem to constitute a war crime of the greatest magnitude under international law,” Falk said.

   “On the basis of the preliminary evidence available, there is reason to reach this conclusion,” he wrote in an annual report submitted to the U.N. Human Rights Council.

   David, Falk is making propaganda again as usual. Or you might call it lying. Geneva Convention IV, article 28, provides that the presence of “a protected person” [non-combatant} at a location does not grant immunity to that location if a military target is also located there. Further, deliberately placing military men [military targets] at a location where “protected persons” are located is a war crime. That is, a Hamas war crime. Falk’s appointment to his present post at the UN is emblematic of the UN’s general corruption. However, in order to resist smooth-talking slime like Falk, people do need to study the international law of war, such as Geneva IV.

    The UN finds that Israel engaged in war crimes. In other news, night is dark, ice is cold, the earth rotates around the sun and gravity causes things to fall.
