Will Kofi Remain Silent On War Crimes?
 |
The timing is not clear, and it could very well be that the event occurred after the statement was released. If so, I would expect no less that a full condemnation from Annan. I cannot recall that the MSM took such an honest stand in regard to Palestinian war crimes and used the words "human shield". The government controlled Hamas radio station put out the call to all women to come and protect their martyrs. This was not a spontaneous event. This was a government sponsored war crime.
If Annan were to remain silent on the issue, he would lose the remainder of the very little credibility that he has left.
The Palestinians cannot have it both ways. They want the treatment afforded to independent nations yet behave like terrorists. If the UN were to ignore this blatant abuse of the rules of war, it would be like putting a stamp of approval on their behavior. Legally, arrest warrants should be issued for the leaders of the Hamas Government for the war crimes they committed. A trial at The Hague should follow. Let's see Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch issue condemnations. Let's see the UN take real action against the Palestinians as they do so often against Israel. One bit of advice, don't hold your breath.
