<<Israel and the US are both still obeying the GC.>> Fourth Geneva Convention Article 49..... "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies." unhchr.ch Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War unhchr.ch Try and explain how Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib are NOT in violation of these! <<When news filtered out that one side was shooting prisoners, the other side began shooting prisoners also. This certainly happened several times in WWII.>> The Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war was actually adopted in 1949.....after WWII. In essence this Convention didn't apply then. The First Geneva Convention was only applicable during WWII, which applied only to the treatment of casualties in the field. en.wikipedia.org mon
