Let’s be clear where we stand vis
a vis International Law
"The most important
distinction in international law and specifically about the rules of war is
that here is a dividing line. On one side are combatants; on the other side are
non-combatants. He added that one "cannot fight people who are innocent
civilians. You can cross that line accidentally, but you can’t cross it
deliberately. If you deliberately target civilians, that’s a war crime." –
stated the Prime Minister
However, he continued,
"Terrorists, including the terrorists in Gaza do something entirely
different. They target civilians deliberately. They target our cities; they
target Ashkelon, as they did today. They target the communities around Gaza.
They target Tel Aviv. They target Jerusalem. They deliberately target
civilians. That’s a war crime. Now, they commit a second war crime. They not
only target civilians, they hide behind civilians in civilian areas, so that
they know that we, who are trying to avoid hitting civilians, will not hit them
in their places of hiding. So they’re committing a double war crime. They’re
targeting civilians and they’re hiding behind civilians, trying to basically
receive a safe situation where they can keep on doing this."
Meanwhile, the ruling of the European Union court against
Israel re labelling of products that while the EU chooses not to join the
sanctions on Iran, it imposes economic-diplomatic restrictions on Israel . The hypocrisy
continues
