1. The PA should join the ICC. Their unity goverment actions
Joe   (08.05.14)
Are worth investigating. While Israel abides by international war rules Hamas does not. It would be fun to see what they come up with and how they defend themselves.
2. Dont forget about 450 deaths due to natural causes plus
Alan ,   SA   (08.05.14)
a large number of executions of dissidents and also "collaborators"
3. The Palestinians are once again showing that they are not
the sharpest tool ,   in the shed   (08.05.14)
4. FACT: There were no civilian deaths in Gaza, only Arabs
George   (08.05.14)
who were killed by their own brothers.
5. Unfettered Axis to Crime Scene
maddad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (08.05.14)
In light of the "mounting evidence" against Israel - surely the defendant should be entitled to unfettered axis to the crime scene? How come the UN is demanding Russia provide unfettered axis to MH17 to investigators for a plane crash that was - beyond any doubt - caused by a AA missile, to the point of going to war, but when it comes to charging Israel with War Crimes - the words of locals - who sweep evidence away and sanitize the crime scene - is good enough. Surely Israel is entitled to visit the "undisturbed" crime scene and ANY attempts to sanitize the crime scene (as shown be CNN, AlJazeera and the BBC) should result in a misstrial???
6. They all died of lead poisoning
Larry ,   Or Yehuda   (08.05.14)
Why did Hamas leak lead into their systems?
7. THE UN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ALSO!
Riva ,   Citizen Planet Earth   (08.05.14)
FOR NOT DISTROYING THE MISSLES THEY FOUND AT THEIR SCHOOL BUT INFORMING TERRORISTS TO COME AND GET THEM, MISSLES THEN USED TO SHOOT AT CIVILIANS IN ISRAEL!!!
8. the Palestinians are responsible for their own deaths
k ,   US   (08.05.14)
They should be brought up on war crimes for hiding behind their kids and their innnocents
9. War crimes
(08.05.14)
In light of the support US, France and UK gave the Hamas against former allies Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Israel, these three countries should unite to file war crimes charges against the leaders of US, UK and France for their illegal actions in Libya. Not only did they violate the UN Security Council resolution and forced an illegal regime change with military might, they butchered a number of civilians that dwarfs the dead in Gaza.
10. Israel is not a signatory to the ICC
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (08.05.14)
So sue away Abbas and hope you don't get sued for criminal conspiracy for not only the Munich massacre of Israel's 11 slaughtered athletes but, by the PA joining Hamas and then becoming a Terrorists organization as well. G-d chose Israel muslims chose suicide. GO ISRAEL !!!
11. Syria didn't commit war crimes? Russia - Ukraine or China ?
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.05.14)
12. Please just do it...
Joe   (08.06.14)
I think the PA should just join the ICC already and stop just threatening to do so. Israel has nothing to fear from such a move but I doubt the PA ( joined with Hamas as it is) really understands the drawbacks it will have to justify. Plenty info out by Hamas to prove their intentions. International law is on the. Israeli side with follows the rules.
