Not at all. In a sense, war itself is a crime, and I suspect rules are constantly broken in this conflict.

It's a UN court?

A few "blanket" slurs and some "edged" responses. Play nice folks.

I'm no Islamophobe/Anti-Semite, but I'm just wondering; does Hamas support the reintroduction of the Sharia Legal System, and if so, would that provide a pretext for rejecting the UN Courts?

@Subotan: Not officially, but there are cases of Hamas instituting laws of Shariah.

Huh. Besides, it's probably not going to reject the findings of a trial that will probably (and rightly) find Israel responsible for various war crimes.

Don't get it wrong, Hamas will be tried as well. Judge Goldstone has said that the UN has been lax in viewing Hamas' conduct. Hamas will be tried as well.
