Rift between Netanyahu and Israel’s military deepens over assault on Gaza City

 

Tensions between Israel’s military and political leadership have sharply escalated over the past week, with the military chief directly confronting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent meeting over plans to expand the Gaza war, two Israeli officials told CNN.

 

Tens of thousands of Israeli reservists have begun reporting for duty to prepare for the massive operation, despite the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir repeatedly voicing reservations about the decision to take over Gaza City after almost two years of fighting.

 

According to two Israeli officials who were briefed on the exchange, in two recent security cabinet meetings about the Gaza City operation, Zamir challenged the decision to carry out the offensive, focusing on the potential risks to the 48 Israeli hostages remaining in Gaza, and to soldiers on the battleground. He also raised objections to the displacement of up to one million Palestinians in the process and its potential humanitarian and strategic ramifications.

B. Netanyahu has international ICC warrants out for his arrest on charges of both war crimes and crimes against humanity. 

 

Anybody that assists or aids and abets such crimes are also legally guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

 

Many IDF are choosing to swing from ropes or blow themselves up with grenades due to the crimes they've committed. 

 

It's little wonder some don't want to carry out more.

It’s not a Nazi reference Nick, it’s an established principle of permissible defense in response to prosecution for crimes against humanity.

I don’t believe the statement ‘Following orders is not a defense against war crimes/crimes against humanity’ exists within any part of Nazi doctrine.

 

It does exist in International law.

If the cap fits

CAIRO (Reuters) -Israeli bombardment pushed more Palestinians out of their homes in Gaza City on Thursday, while thousands of residents defied Israeli orders to leave, remaining behind in the ruins in the path of Israel's latest advance.

 

Gaza health authorities said Israeli fire across the enclave had killed at least 28 people on Thursday, most of them in Gaza City, where Israeli forces have advanced through the outer suburbs and are now a few km (miles) from the city centre.

 

"This time, I am not leaving my house. I want to die here. It doesn't matter if we move out or stay. Tens of thousands of those who left their homes were killed by Israel too, so why bother?" Um Nader, a mother of five from Gaza City, told Reuters via text message.

There is only one Israel, Yitzhak Rabin was the soldier who became Prime Minister of Israel in 1992, and who abandoned the use of force in favour of negotiations to achieve peace with the Palestinians. He approved the Oslo Accords, negotiated in secret in Norway in 1993.

Yitzhak Rabin, the prime minister of Israel, was assassinated on 4 November 1995 at 21:30, at the end of a rally in support of the Oslo Accords at the Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv.
