War Crimes 

The undemocratic probe against Gush Shalom


Supporting Gush Shalom against war crimes. A letter from Nir Eyal

Dear Sir,

Gush Shalom, by sending warning letters to officers who have been actually boasting about acts which are violating the Geneva Conventions, has made use of its democratic rights, and fulfilled in a way a civilian duty: guarding moral and legal principles.

A government which starts legal procedures against a peace group for alerting them, does create the suspicion that it has something to hide - an impression which already rose by its keeping the press away.
