Israeli soldiers reportedly shot woman waving white flag
From B'Tselem:
Today, Israeli soldiers shot a woman waving a white flag in the Khuza'a
area, in the south-eastern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian who is besieged
with his family there says. According to his report, the soldiers shot
several civilians who were fleeing a bombed house on army orders,
killing at least three and wounding others.
With many more stories like these sure to come to light, it is no surprise that Chris McGreal reports in the Guardian, "Israel is facing growing demands from senior UN officials and human rights groups for an international war crimes investigation in Gaza."

Eurosabra will be here shortly to explain the appropriate waving patterns and why just making a white flag and placing it over your head is simply inviting tragedy.

These "attrocities" wouldn't happen if Palestineans didn't claim surrender and then attack

Every military conflict should be followed with a Nuremberg-like investigation and then trial. The UN, unfortunately, is not the insitutional body qualified to do the investigating and adjudicating because of its nondemocratic charter. The nations who are not permanent members of the Security Council should resign from the UN, create a new world governing body and then investigate US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and investigate Israeli war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza. Guilty leaders should be placed in solitary detention in the same prison that held Hess, which will need to be rebuilt.

That surely is one committee the Zionists can't stack.

LOL. The UN human rights effort is viewed as anti-semitic by the two powers that count the most: USA & Israel. All respective citizens
are towing the line. They have no real choice. The UN others don't either as the USA has the veto & most of the world's debt.

Hello! thank you for allowing me to participate in this forum so enjoyable and interesting, I have always found some very good and that is what led me to join you and discuss the concerns they have about what it is that makes a Women Smoking Cigarettes much more appealing? Well, it is yet not well known, but it has been discovered that celebrity women feel the need to smoke because of several reasons, for example, it is widely believed that smoking helps women skip meals, and this has made possible for these women to loose weigh

I think the fact that we have seen celebrity women smoking cigars has given the idea of a women smoking like it is sexy and glamorous.
