Iran is Charging Israeli Leaders with "War Crimes!"

Soch Mel

Speaking of War Crimes, the Islamic Republic of Iran is calling for the arrests of 15 Israeli leaders, including the Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, on charges of war crimes committed in Gaza.
Currently the Iranians are investigating about 100 Israelis as reported by their state news agency ISNA.

The dispute between Israel and Iran goes back at least a few decades. Iran has accused of Israel trying to do its best to destabilize the Islamic Republic; the heated talks go back and back where Israel would accused that Iran wants the nations of Israel to be gone, etc.

In the air strikes late last year, more than 1,300 Palestinians died while 5,400 others were wounded. 13 Israelis, which includes 10 soldiers, were killed in the fighting. What is interesting here is the CNN article brought up this statistics to make us think, is Israel justified in its air strike on Gaza; does Iran have a point.

At this point, it is still to early in the game to even considered something like war crimes. And yes those numbers do seem high, but knowing that there have been some inhuman tactics that Hamas used to get sympathy for their cause is troubling. And Iran is not a typical player of world governance, I doubt many nations would even allow Iran to go ahead with the charges without the backing of global governance. It's so funny that Iran would try to do this, because we know that the U.S. will most likely back Israel; it's still not a good idea to try and take the U.S. on.

This new dilema is going to lead to some more tense realtions between the U.S. and Iran. As I see it, the problem lies in very extreme thinking; both the U.S. and Iran are very conservative in their relations with each other. Both of them need a smack and get going on improving realtions. Also, the U.S. needs to take a bolder stand and do something, like intervention perhaps, to resolve this crisis in Gaza. But I doubt that the American public would be open to that suggestion.

Also, take a look at these two quotes from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert:

Israel will retaliate against Gaza with a "painful, sharp, strong and uncompromising response" if the rocket attacks do not stop, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday.

"The Israeli response will -- in no way -- be what the terrorist organizations expect. The state of Israel has a wide range of options that will be utilized in order to bring complete quiet to the south," he said Sunday at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting.
