British newspaper speaks with Diya al-Din Madhoun, who heads the Hamas committee set up to coordinate the campaign to issue arrest warrants against Israeli public figures in European courts. 'All the political and military leaders of the occupation in our sights'

In the service of Your Majesty or in the service of a terrorist organization? Hamas admits to being behind the legal proceedings initiated in Europe in which arrest warrants were issued for Israeli public figures for allegedly committing war crimes.

The British newspaper The Times spoke with Diya al-Din Madhoun, who heads the Hamas committee set up to coordinate the campaign, in Jerusalem.

About a week ago, an arrest warrant was issued against Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni, who served as foreign minister during Operation Cast Lead. It seemed as if the effort to put Israeli leaders on trial was continuing full force ahead. Madhoun told the Times, "All the political and military leaders of the occupation in our sights”, although he did not specify its future targets.

“This has absolutely become our policy,” he said. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...822847,00.html

Anti-Israel/Anti-Semitic = Support for terrorism or active involvement in terrorism.

It's really as simple as that.

(JERUSALEM) The human rights organization Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center has filed a petition today to the High Court of Justice (BAGATZ) inJerusalem demanding that Hamas terrorists arrested by Israel be tried forwar crimes and crimes against humanity, not just murder as is the current practice.

According to the petition, the Attorney General violated Israeli law by refusing to indict the terrorists who fire rockets into Israel for war crimes and crimes against humanity-crimes that carry a life sentence without the possibility of pardon or early release.

Israel is bound by the humanitarian provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention, as well as the Hague Convention and other international treaties, which stipulate that the deliberate targeting of civilians in the context of an armed conflict is a war crime; while the deliberate and systemic assault against a particular civilian population constitutes a crime against humanity.
