The Palestinians are serial war criminals.They violate the UN Charter regularly by calling for the destruction of Israel and their use of indiscriminate rocket attacks and other acts of terrorism put them well outside the pale of civilized countries. The fact that they are not condemned by the (IOC controlled) UN is one of many signs that organization is not an honest broker. The American Center for Law & Justice does some useful lawyering in pointing our exactly how the actions of the Palestinians constitute crimes and justify the self defense actions of Israel to remove a threat to its citizens.

Law of Armed Conflict, the principles of Distinction, Necessity and Proportionality.It is an excellent legal answer to Israel's critics and has been provided to the UN, Congress, the White House and a bunch of other folks.
