Ze’ev Schiff on “physically harming” hostages<\/h3>\n

Killing (“physically harming”) of families of suicide bombers discussed by circles close to the army high command. <\/P>

 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =<\/P>

Ze’ev Schiff, who is known for his close relations with the army high command, wrote the following words at the end of his article “How to fight against people ready to die” (Ha’aretz 5.3.02) (The article appeared in the Hebrew and English printed versions of yesterday’s Ha’aretz, but we couldn’t find it in the Internet edition.)<\/P>

“Perhaps the voices calling for physically harming the families of the suicide terrorists will drown out the voices that reject this idea out of hand as unethical. The terrorists, those who send them, and their families are liable to to find out that a terror-battered Israel is being drawn into merciless responses.”<\/P>

Killing (or otherwise physically harming) the innocent families of those who commit hostile acts is a mark of the most barbaric regimes in history, including the most barbaric of all. It is, of course, a war crime, and those who order, execute or recommend it may find themselves one day before the International Criminal Court at The Hague.<\/P>

It should be noted that Ze’ev Schiff, often described abroad as “the respected military commentator”, cites this idea without voicing any objection of his own.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
