Israel has indeed committed war crimes. Just read the UN statements alone: 185 ambulances shot, 7 ambulance drivers and doctors killed, 120 wounded. That alone is a war crime. But the list goes on and on. One thing is certain, this last incursion will finally put an end to the myth of Israel's touted "purity of arms" once and for all. This myth has been thoroughly repudiated. I take my hopes from the people around the world, including Jews and Israelis, who are steadfastly opposed to the occupation and to Ariel Sharon's genocidal policies. Sharon hasn't yet offered up anything that sounds the slightest like a peace plan. Israeli columnists ask what his plan is. You only need look at his past behavior to predict this: continued punishment of the Palestinian people, continued occupation, continued expansion of the settlements, continued destruction of Palestinian infrastructure and political systems. Eventually, ethnic cleansing or permanent prison cities and refugee camps. |
