Norman Finkelstein International Law and War Crimes Israel / Palestine

Under the 1949 Geneva Conventions collective punishments are a war crime. By collective punishment, the drafters of the Geneva Conventions had in mind the reprisal killings of World Wars I and World War II. In the First World War, Germans executed Belgian villagers in mass retribution for resistance activity. In World War II, Nazis carried out a form of collective punishment to suppress resistance. Entire villages or towns or districts were held responsible for any resistance activity that took place there. The conventions, to counter this, reiterated the principle of individual responsibility. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Commentary to the conventions states that parties to a conflict often would resort to "intimidatory measures to terrorize the population" in hopes of preventing hostile acts, but such practices "strike at guilty and innocent alike. They are opposed to all principles based on humanity and justice."

I didn't know the Red Cross commissioned San Remo Manual was a white Supremacist site !

Haven't you got any new drivel ? Same old BS !

The Voice of Canada is pro Israel as is the editor , former Peace Keeper Mark Vandermaas. Funny how he supports Israel after serving in Egypt during the 67 war !

Lets include Jihad Watch & UN Watch ,both pro Israel just like me . SUN Media pro Israel. Very smart
