It is pathetic that the author fails to mention war crimes lawsuit brought against Arafat in Belgium.

But of course only Jews have committed war crimes in the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors, including the Palestinians!!!!

The Palestinians get their orders: hand grenades, Molotov cocktails and suicide bombers vs US hi-tech

We follow up last week's exclusive story about the Israeli generals' recommendations for attacking the Palestinians with an exclusive report on the orders circulated to Palestinian commanders about fighting with the Israelis.

Both stories are deeply depressing. FOREIGN REPORT has had access to the translated version of an official Palestinian document circulated last week among the Palestinian commanders in the West Bank and Gaza with precise instructions on how to cope with an Israeli assault. What follows is a partial text:

Operational instructions

Thousands of Molotov cocktail firebombs should be prepared under the guidance of experts. Prepare hand grenades and explosive belts for hundreds of suicide youths who will be willing to confront the advancing enemy troops.

Preparations to block main roads with old cars, rocks and barrels to stop advancing Israeli tanks.

Warfare instructions

You must save ammunition. It is strictly forbidden to fire automatic light guns against tanks. Tanks should be attacked only with suitable weapons.

Forward positions should be established by fighters willing to sacrifice their lives to stop the advancing enemy.

Other sections in this report cover: intelligence and security; first aid and welfare; emergency civil defence preparations; and public relations.

Israel says the "noble concept" of international human rights law is being politicized and manipulated by Palestinians and their advocates ...

First of all, the idea of the Palestinians manipulating anything is preposterous, and shows the extent of the paranoia which pervades Zionist thinking. Clearly, Zionists have infinitely more power in global media and politics than Palestinians. Just the mere mention of Palestinian rights brings down a chorus of jeers, as exemplified by this thread.

... in what Israel sees as a clearly anti-Israel, anti-Jewish campaign.

Here, he is dead right. Prosecuting Jewish Israelis for their crimes is exactly what this is about. Apparently he thinks Jews should be above the law.
