Goldstone report

Seen your question on the Zeitun talkpage. See my answer there. More broadly, the report has no credibility and this is easily shown by the following example - para. 495 of the report's late submission says: "...Their (Palestinian fighters) failure to distinguish themselves from the civilian population by distinctive signs is not a violation of international law in itself, but would have denied them some of the legal privileges afforded to combatants...". Now this is a perversion of the IHL. Fighters and soldiers MUST distinguish themselves from the civilian population, otherwise they violate one of the provisions of the perfidy principle as outlined in Art. 37 of the Protocol I. If this were true, all the armies in the world would wear no uniform. --Sceptic from Ashdod ^(talk) 15:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
