Israeli Soldiers Indicted for Gaza War Conduct

The soldiers will be tried in military court for forcing a Palestinian boy to open several bags they suspected to be booby trapped with explosives.

Oh my goodness, what brutes. At the least they should get life in prison, if not a military execution for the heinous act they committed.

Israeli Soldiers Indicted for Gaza War Conduct

JERUSALEM (AP) -- The Israeli military says two soldiers have been indicted on criminal charges for their actions during last year's military offensive in Gaza.

The soldiers will be tried in military court for forcing a Palestinian boy to open several bags they suspected to be booby trapped with explosives. The military says the soldiers did so despite military orders not to use civilians for operational activity.

Thursday's announcement is only the second criminal indictment Israel's military has issued regarding the three-week-long offensive.

Israel has come under fire for its wartime conduct. A team of U.N. investigators says it found evidence that both Israel and Hamas militants violated the laws of war. Both sides deny the accusations.

Sacrificial lambs for the Jew haters like Goldstone.  The real indictments should be against those who arranged and supported the pullout from Gaza that made actions like this necessary.
