I have learned that the International Criminal Court has ordered the detention of the Sudanese president Omar al Bashir for promoting and covering war crimes and against the humanity. His troops have performed incredible atrocities against defenceless civilians.
My question would then be: why the Court does not act against Ehud Olmert, president of Israel who organised a brutal killing of the civil population of Gaza, the most crowded place in the world?
Military hardware meant for the battlefield, like tanks, jet bombers, heavy artillery and precision rockets have mercilessly been used against basically unarmed citizens! And the population was trapped. They had no way to go: all borders were closed. It’s unbelievable, to enter with tanks in such a place, firing indiscriminately against the people!
How many victims did such an action cause? Some sources say 1,300 dead and 5,300 wounded, including 1.855 children and 795 women.
Frankly, I am astonished at the double yardstick of the ICC.
