Rashid Khalidi: War Crimes in Gaza

they hope to achieve the ability to not be randomly blown up. while hamas may have gone away on its own on its own time table that is theory not fact. how long does a country wait before saying we will not be bombed during a cease fire? should isreal instead say well if your gunna oust them anyway we can wait as every day they wait their children are getting bombed?

ONLY WAR CRIMES IN GAZA ARE COMMITTED BY PALESTINIANS:

Very interesting and informative interview. Thanks.

Agreed. Thoughtful and enlightening as well.
A fantastic author of vast knowledge.

Maybe the Hamas should stop firing missiles and rockets into Israel! They are the criminals!!!!

MORE ABOUT RASHID KHALIDI

Khalidi was spokesman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the US and the international community listed the PLO as terrorist organization.

Khalidi uses rational, peaceful language when addressing English-speaking audiences, yet switches to virulent diatribes when speaking Arabic. In a 2004 interview in Arabic on al-Jazeera television, Khalidi became enraged at the mere mention of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy:

"By God, I say that the participation of the sons or daughters of the Arabs in the plans and affairs of this institute is a huge error, this Israeli institute in Washington, an institute founded by AIPAC, the Zionist lobby, and that hosts tens of Israelis every year."

The Middle East Quarterly highlighted the professor's propensity for "bizarre (and anti-Semitic) conspiracies" regarding the war in Iraq.

Khalidi gets "a $400,000-a-year Title VI [funding from the U.S. State Department and Department of Education] handout from the American taxpayer."

Khalidi is also a member of the Palestinian American Research Center (PARC), a nonprofit that receives Title VI funding for "Palestinian studies," but too often produces anti-Israel polemics.

DATAMINED .. YOUR PRETTY CUTE.. BUT YOUR BLIND LOVE FOR ISREAL IS UNFORTUNATE AND BORING... IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS , THEN DON'T BOTHER POSTING.. WE GET THE DRIFT..

Hamas and the other terrorist organizations copied and adapted Hizbullah's warfare doctrine, which is based on exploiting the civilian population as human shields.
Using civilians as human shields is a war crime, a grave breach of the laws of armed conflict and a crime against humanity.
Rockets and mortar shells are routinely fired from built-up, densely populated areas and near structures and facilities (including educational institutions and mosques) provided special protection by the Geneva Conventions.
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and many other Hamas leaders (such as Nizar Rayyan, killed last week) have openly boasted about their use of human shield tactics.

I get the feeling that datamined is an Israeli operative, probably paid to spend time here, and probably not cute...

There will be no true victory in the middle east until all the persecutors lay down their stones and forgive. Remember Jesus said "Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone." While all are throwing stones at a weak child defended only by their faith and the will of the Lord. God bless all who read this .

Thank you for this post...very interesting and informative.
