Picking And Choosing War Criminals

Is Charles suggesting that no Israeli officers have breached the Geneva conventions? Of course he is. Why else would he describe a British court ordering the arrest of a visiting Israeli ex-Major as a descent into madness without knowing about his alleged crimes. Or is this expert on the Middle East and Israel holding back some information not available to MI5 or B'Tselem?

The warrant was issued based on one incident - demolition of a home in Rafah -
but the attorneys also seek to investigate allegations concerning Almog's
involvement in three other cases: the killing of a woman in her ninth month of
pregnancy (Nouha al-Maqadam, March 3, 2003); the killing of three young men in
northern Gaza on December 30, 2001; and the bombing of the Daraj neighborhood in
Gaza on July 22, 2002, which killed Hamas' military head Salah Shehadeh and 14
other Palestinians.
