ICC must look into Egypt's role in Gaza atrocities (Toby Cadman, Al Jazeera)

A state's commitment to the rule of law and principles of democracy are measured by its commitment to end impunity and to hold accountable those persons accused of atrocity crimes. The Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) is now being asked to do just that and investigate Egypt's role in committing atrocities in Palestine.

Gaza: A ticking time bomb (Ramzy Baroud, Arab News)

It is not true that only three wars have taken place since Hamas won parliamentary elections in 2006 in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Other wars that were deemed insignificant or “skirmishes” also took place. Operation Returning Echo in March 2012, for example, killed and wounded over 100 people. But since the death toll, relative to the other major onslaughts seemed trivial, it was not cited as “war,” per se.
