Unlike Phil's evaluation of the Lebanon situation, AI reports that the
situation concerning the Israeli attacks is very complex and not
immediately clear if war crimes were committed. On the other hand, AI does
report that without a doubt war crimes were committed by Hizbullah's rocket
attacks into Israel.

 Amnesty International has introduced a comprehensive report accusing a
 terrorist group of war crimes.In utter defiance of the predominant
 American left, European and United Nations view that Israel engaged in
 gross war crimes against civilians and freedom fighters in Lebanon,
 Amnesty International has announced that in its opinion, Hezbollah is
 guilty of war crimes. Hezbollah purposefully and indiscriminately
 targeted Israeli civilians.

AI did not address the issue of an estimated 1,000 Lebanese civilians
killed when Israel attacked Hezbollah fighting and command positions that
had been established within populated villages, or the use of civilian
vehicles, buildings and clothing by Hezbollah fighters, who also sometimes
fought in Israeli uniforms.That is still the subject of investigation, and
AI announced those issues, unlike the Hezbollah violations, are too complex
for immediate comment.

Some serious violations of international humanitarian law, including many
of those addressed in this report, are war crimes and give rise to
international criminal responsibility for the perpetrators. These crimes
are subject to universal jurisdiction (they may be prosecuted by any state
in its national courts) and fall within the statute of the International
Criminal Court.

A core principle of the rules governing the conduct of hostilities is the
principle of distinction. The rules require that combatants at all times
distinguish between civilians, the civilian population and civilian objects
on the one hand, and military objectives on the other.
