Harold Evans, you have lost the plot and need a brain transplant. How have you managed such a long career in journalism with such distortions. You obviously spent most of your time writing for the American equaivalent of Pravda.
A country that used the full might of a state of the art military against a rag bag enemy and killing so many women, children and old men in the process, was always going to be accused of war crimes. Even as the Gaza offencize was going on, one could clearly see the criminal negligence that was taking place.
As for Gaza not being occupied, it was effectively turned into a prison camp. If Gaza was free, Palestinians would be allowed to come and go at will, run an airport and a seaport. The Israelis allowed nothing such and even rationed fuel and other resources.
Shame on you.

From what I have read about Islam, I haven't read anything that suggests that there should be so much violance against Israel. Abraham is a father figure in both of the religions in addition to being in Christianity. The conflict seems to be with the religious leaders who like personal power. That's why there has to be separation of church and state as in the United States. There is corruption in every organization as was in the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. You can't reason with people who believe that God wants them to kill as told to them by their religious leaders; you can only try to stay away from them or kill them in self-defence which is what Israel has been trying to do to escape from the crazed religious nuts trying to erase them from the face of the earth. Some areas of Mankind are still living in the Stone Age, but in this case they have a lot of money to cause trouble. If that oil money didn't exist we wouldn't have all this trouble with the oil rich nations that haven't been civilized yet.
