It is a clever strategy: create the appearance of Israeli killings of civilians by launching attacks from civilian areas, and then seeking to prosecute Israeli officials for retaliating at all. The overall objective, of course, is to bring down so much international opprobrium upon Israel that it will be paralyzed and unable to respond to jihad attacks at all. International Courtroom Jihad Update: "Islamic group seeks Israeli minister's prosecution," from the Associated Press, January 15 (thanks to James):
An Islamic human rights group has petitioned a prosecutor to start legal proceedings against the Israeli defense minister for alleged crimes committed against Palestinians during the Gaza war.The Turkish authorities did not act on the Friday's petition by the Istanbul-based Mazlum-Der group....
BWAAHAHAHAHAA !!!
ISLAMIC HUMAN RIGHTS ??
IT IS AN OXYMORON!
DOES NOT AND CAN NOT EXIST!
These two words "Islamic and Human-Rights" are totally and diametrical opposites and have zero common value with each other. In fact they have exact opposite meanings and values in the real but Islam-free world especially the west.
I needed this laugh, LOL !
This is one more reason for the U.S. to stay out of the ICC. And one more reason to reverse the Obama fiat of placing Interpol above U.S. laws.
Does anyone else see even more use of the ICC by the OIC to impose Sharia law on the rest of us?
This strategy is only possible due to a moronic Liberal thinking, that has plagued Europe and the US to some extent.
A white flag in one hand and a gun in the other.
Realizing they couldn't take Israel by themselves, they used the kind hospitality they received in Europe to unleash a nasty demonic propaganda. With haters working as teachers and in the BBC, a very nasty image was displayed by so called "reliable sources". This was completely unchallenged for years. Moreover, is was embraced and echoed by other officials.
Watch the 'good people' of London fight for the poor victims of gaza against the illegal and evil Israel:

Islam wasn't hijacked, Europe was.
Correction for my previous post. I don't know the exact location, it's probably not London.
Associated Press needs to get their terminology right.
For "alleged crimes committed against Palestinians" read "for imaginary crimes committed against Gazan Arab Muslim jihadists and their enablers".
This isn't the first time Muslims have gone after Israel's defense minister. Here's a story from Britain from September:
"Israeli minister Ehud Barak faces war crimes arrest threat during UK visit"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/29/ehud-barak-war-crimes-israel
They have also gone after Tzipi Livni.
they're likely to keep at it until they find some Western venue dhimmi enough or clueless enough to let themselves be used in this manner.
It's more "legal Jihad".
If they can't actually bring about "war crimes" proceedings, then likely they want to create a situation where Israeli officials are afraid to travel, lest they face arrest on bogus "humanitarian crimes" charges abroad.
Meanwhile, Muslim nations continue their appalling human rights records, both of their Muslim and—especially—non-Muslim populations, with barely a squeak about it from human rights groups around the world, unless it reaches the openly horrific level of a post-"election" Iran. Insanity.
