Under currently existing international law, ,it is a war crime. What is happening now in Lebanon and in Gaza for that matter...is collective punishment. The irony is that Israel could be prosecuted by the same laws that brought Hitlers gang to justice.

I am sorry, but Robert is making Israel again a victim, this time a victim of it's own cruelty. Why does Robert Fisk not see all the provocations coming from Israel ? I am sorry, but Robert Fisk is losing rapidly my respect. Again, i am sorry... Bye.
