Jump To Comment: 1For democratic principles to be upheld, those ISRAELI ministers who authorized the killings of dozens of women and children in Gaza a year ago this week, by the Israeli army, MUST be arrested and brought to trial on charges of war crimes.
The ministers alleged responsible for such authorization, in the Kadima government, last December/January, were:
EHUD BARAK,
EHUD OLMERT &
TZIPORAH LIVNI.
If these individuals are innocent of war crime allegations, they can bring evidence to support their case before an international court in the Hague.
Failing such apprehension and trial, democracy and the United Nations, are both dead and we are living in a world where anyone can be killed with impunity. There will be no justice, no redress and the law of violence will prevail.
