The Palestinian territory is under an illegal Israeli invasion & occupation so any rockets fired fall under their right to self defense.

"Right to self-defense", my ass. Attacks from Gaza were frequent, savage and directed towards civilians well before any "occupation" - when it was a part of Egypt - and accelerated after all Israeli settlements were abandoned in 2005. If these pathetic fools had expended their energy and money on farming, tourism, and other productive endeavors rather than stupidly attacking Israel, they might be somewhere today, instead of a stagnant shithole waste of space.

I'm with Linichka spend money on creating jobs for the hopeless arab youth who are the fuel terrorists use. Give them a a job and they will get on with life. Maybe Israel can lead by example. A cooperative and conciliatory approach would under mine the terrorists recruiting program. Israel should try to give take home "piece" work to Palestinian women. For example getting them to sew and paying them per piece. If the Palestinians have something to lose and a slightly better quality of life they will be less likely to blow themselves up.

Israel debates commission to probe war crimes allegations

JERUSALEM _ In the wake of the revelation that two of its senior military officers have been reprimanded for approving the use of white phosphorus in last year's Gaza war, Israel is debating whether to launch an independent commission to investigate that and other allegations of war crimes in a United Nations report.

With Israeli officials facing widespread international criticism and even arrest warrants in Britain in recent months, the country has faced global pressure to defend its conduct in the three-week Gaza offensive to stop Hamas rocket attacks.

Few Israeli soldiers charged in abuse cases: rights group

Only six percent of all investigations into alleged abuse of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers led to prosecutions over the past decade, an Israeli human rights group said on Thursday.

Military police carried out 1,805 investigations between 2000 and 2009, and in just 105 instances were charges filed, according to the group Yesh Din ("There is a law" in Hebrew).

Those 105 in turn saw a total of 161 soldiers charged, most of whom were given light sentences under deals between their lawyers and the prosecution, Yesh Din said.

In all, only four soldiers have been convicted for the killing of four civilians -- three Palestinians and Briton Tom Hurndall, a pacifist mortally wounded in the Gaza Strip in 2003.

The 1,805 investigations include 36 that were carried out following the devastating Israeli assault on Gaza at the end of 2008 in which more than 1,400 Palestinians died.
