| Arabs holler for International Criminal Court... |
| 2002-07-25 |
| The U.N. Security Council discussed on Thursday a resolution demanding Israel pull back its troops from Palestinian cities. Palestinians also said Israeli leaders should be put on trial for war crimes following Tuesday's air raid on Gaza City which targeted a wanted Hamas leader but also killed nine children. And this is a surprise? Palestinian U.N. observer Nasser al-Kidwa said the world needed to stop Israeli actions whether on the ground or in the political sphere or in the courts. Al-Kidwa told the council that "this Israel assault presents the first blatant war crime" since the new International Criminal Court came into force on July 1. I love it when his face gets all red and the spittle flies. Just the threat of that International Criminal Court makes a dandy threat, doesn't it? |
