Fighting Spurious 'Net Arguments, Part I....


...the Rome Statute.

I'm gettting really sick and tired of people telling me that somehow the Rome Statue allows any army to bomb civilian targets, on a whim, because their commanders claim it's a military target. They aren't even claiming at this point that every single mosque, home, police station and school in Gaza has rockets -- they're saying that Israel has every right to "err on the side of assuming that a target is a military target."

Unbelievable. Well, my fingers are getting tired of restating the lunacy of this case over and over and, well... a picture paints a thousand words, does it not?
