The issuing of a British arrest warrant for former Israeli Foreign Minister and current leader of the opposition Tzipi Livni is only the latest event confirming an international body of legal opinion that Israel should be tried for war crimes over its treatment of the Palestinians.
Livni was a member of the war cabinet during Operation Cast Lead, the offensive against Gaza between December 27, 2008 and January 18 this year. Some 1,400 Palestinians—the majority of them civilians, including 400 women and children—were killed, at least 5,000 people were injured, and 21,000 homes and other vital infrastructure were destroyed.

“In reality, the imperialist powers and their allies operate as a de facto international league of war criminals—dedicated to their mutual defence and self-preservation.”
Yep, this has come to light, although my views were more myopic in 2001. It was a profound revelation for me to see that the Bu$h administration installed PNAC members in key positions of government and instituted unprecedented controls on all aspects of government, the CIA, and the military. And, of course that Bu$h and Poodle were joined at the hip, but the Zionist connection or, perhaps, instigation, of the whole thing seemed a little over the top… untill I read this report…G:
