Apart from the potential war crimes issue and the possible issue of arrest warrants by the European Union against EHUD OLMERT and EHUD BARAK to appear before the International Criminal Court, in the Hague, there is the obvious question of Israel's financial liability to make good the criminal damage to Gaza by its troops. There would not appear to be any valid reason why the international community should pick up the tab for this latest Israeli offensive that has killed over 1300 Palestinians including hundreds of children and unarmed civilian men and women. In particular, American tax payers already give billions of dollars to support a state that kills at will. This surely cannot be acceptable by right-thinking, God-fearing people, who value life.

The Israeli press has reported last week that, 'Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appointed Justice Minister Daniel Friedman to head a team that will examine methods to avoid war crimes charges for those involved in IDF operations in Gaza. The decision comes as a result of civilian casualties that happened as a result of Operation Cast Lead'. 

Olmert, who has had to resign his post due to serious corruption charges, has now appointed the man who is investigating him to examine methods to avoid war crimes charges against those IDF soldiers involved in the killing of hundreds of unarmed civilian men, women and children, in Gaza.   Could you make this 'Kafka-Bush-Sacha Cohen' scenario up? Is it for real? Has the world taken leave of its sanity to accept this tragic nonsense?
