Good work

Israel has never adhered to the Road Map, and it rarely respects international law when it comes to the Palestinians. Israel may respect one minor aspect of what it is legally-obliged to do at any one time, but will simultaneously commit war crimes, grab land, and further subjugate the Palestinians, violating countless laws in the process.

The work of Breaking the Silence is invabluable, and those Israeli soldiers with enough conviction to give these testimonies that prove that the order to committ war crimes comes from the top of the IDF, should be congratulated. I hope Breaking the Silence continues its work, and brilliant news agencies like France 24 continue their coverage of the issue. Thanks very much

this is truely ridiculous

for the past 8 years, inspite of the fact israel had respected the road map and pulled out of gaza, there had been artillary fired towards israeli citizens EVERY DAY - INTENTIONALLY TARGETING ISRAELI CITIZENS for the past EIGHT years, where's your bleeding heart for them? 1.8 million people have to live under the threat of kassam rockets...
ISRAEL ALLOWED HUMANITRIAN SUPPORT to be transported to the palestinians , and
ALERTED PALESTINIANS BEFORE DROPPING BOMBS SO THEY COULD HAVE TIME TO EVACUATE SAFELY
NO ARMY DOES SUCH SPLENDID THINGS AND SHAME ON YOU FOR FAILING TO MISUNDERSTAND THE FULL COMPLEXITY OF POLITICAL REALITY IN THE MIDDLE, IT'S MORE THAN A SIMPLISTIC METAPHOR OF THE DAVID AND GOLIATH STORY

Gaza war crimes allegations

If Israel were to admit that there was a basis to these allegations would that bring about absolution? If not, why do we ignore the admitted violations of accepted standards of conduct of warfare by Hamas and their cohorts in Gaza.? Is the use of human shields by them acceptable, but by Israel it is not? Biased journalism in action!

Gaza campaign

Wonderfully ironic as the Israelis are quick to point out constantly the atrosities committed by the Nazi,s whilst at the same time carrying out the same genocide against their neighbours!!!
All involved in this operation should be tried with war crimes.

No comment

Whatever you say, some narrow minded people would never accept the fact that this war was genocide.
The International court wants to judge the sudanese president and others pointed as "terrorists" for their "war crimes", but would they one day ask to judge the responsibles of what happened last December in Gaza ?

The international law is made to be applicable to any country except israel.
