Only days after sabotaging a national disaster appeal for Gaza, the BBC just published this "news" report :
Israeli PM in war crimes pledge
Any Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in the Gaza Strip will be given state protection from prosecution overseas, the country's PM has said.
Ehud Olmert said troops should know Israel would keep them safe after they acted to protect their country.
The above statement would have come straight from the Israeli government .. and there is no attempt to question or balance the statement. What does "Israeli State Protection" mean if someone is charged in a European country ? Does it mean the Israeli army will mount an invasion and snatch operation ? Or are Israelis globally protected from prosecution world-wide by some secret "agreement" ?
Or is this an ultimate statement that Israeli government orders are the top law of the globe which all have to follow ?
