Lessons from the UN Gaza report: Next stop, ICC?
The Human Rights Council’s independent inquiry is full of suspicions of war crimes.

How an alleged war crime goes away — and resurfaces a year later
Nobody really noticed the deliberate shelling of a Palestinian medical clinic, even when it was reported in real time during Israel’s war in Gaza last summer. Now, because of reporting by an independent journalist, there is a chance that somebody will be held accountable for what a rights group says is a clear-cut war crime.…

Retired Israeli general suggests Syria attack timed for election effect
As elections approach, Israeli politicians are misleading the public about war crimes probes, and according to one general-turned-politician, about war itself. (This analysis originally contained a previous section called, ‘Is the ICC running against Netanyahu in Israeli elections?’ It has been published as a separate article here.) “War is merely the continuation of politics by…
