In addition to this report which talks about the Israeli military investigating itself, there is also this headline from this week: U.N. rights envoy sees Israeli war crimes in Gaza, at: http://www.reuters.com/article/middleeastCrisis/idUSLJ155314

It's good to see that the slow starvation of over a million and a half people to death in the Gaza Strip, by the Israeli blockade, is no longer being ignored by international authorities.

There are many problems with the idea of an international court: does it have authority? will it be abused? and specifically in this case while the vote to set up this court was 120-7, Israel and the United States were two of the seven who voted against it thus, by the terms of UN treaties, no court action against events in Israel and the United States are possible.

This would seem to imply a lot of running around in circles and more bashing of the UN in the U.S. media (the UN was good for being a part of launching the invasion in Iraq...the Congressional resolution endorsing the war referred to the need for the USA to enforce UN resolutions...although the UN itself did not want to to this the way it was done by invasion).

But concerning this, the USA will say the UN is bad...you know, racist against Jews.

It seems then a lot of time will be spent running around in circles, barking up trees and lawyers getting paid lots of fees and not one single Israeli citizens will be found guilt of doing anything wrong in the massacres and policies of collective punishment and apartheid against Palestinians.

We hear about the Geneva Conventions and the so-called "laws of war," but it seems these only apply to the losers of the war; winners stay free.

Right?
