Palestinians urge war crimes investigation

[E.J.Armstrong]

'...Palestinian human rights activists have called on authorities in the West Bank and Gaza to investigate allegations of war crimes carried out by their forces. ...'

Also
'...The internal investigations must be launched by February, the groups said.
The report produced by a team led by former war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone accused both sides of war crimes during the Israeli military offensive in December 2008 and January 2009.
The 11 human rights groups wrote identical letters to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya urging that they investigate the allegations against them. ...'

I look forwards to seeing independent enquiries launched by both the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government into the crimes committed by their forces.

What are the chances?

Hamas will not investigate itself for possible war crimes.

Not a surprise since Hamas recently justified its launching of thousands of missiles into Israel as a valid form of attacking non-civilian targets, which is contrary to their stated intentions.

I'd still rather live in Israel than Palestine, completely independently of the current conflict, because Hamas is a tool of dictatorial thuggery playing silly international games that are of concern only to free people.

Something tells me when the West stops looking, their "democratic" leadership won't be around too long.
