Discussion on Gaza War Crimes

I couldn't believe it when I turned on CNN this morning

and heard Fareed

Zakaria talking about war crimes in Gaza.

This is a war crime. There is no other word to describe it.

It's been 19 hellish months, and finally, finally,

mainstream TV pundits are beginning to say what so many of us

have been

shouting all along. Fareed was interviewing former

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who recently dropped a

political bombshell in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz

when he wrote in his op-ed that what Israel is doing in

Gaza is nothing short of extermination.

He said indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal,

criminal killing of civilians. And he didn't stop there.

He laid bare the starvation, calling denying food, medicines,

and basic necessities explicit government

policies carried out intentionally, viciously,

and maliciously. His conclusion was, yes, we are

committing war crimes. And he ends with the warning, "It

is time to halt

before Israel is banished from the family of nations and

summoned to the International Criminal Court with no good defense.

Enough is enough." Well, we've been saying enough

is enough for the last

19 months. But finally, mainstream media is starting to

break ranks. It's time to turn up the pressure where it

matters

most, and that is the White House and Congress.

Let's make sure they hear us. Let's make sure they act.

Stop supporting Israel.
