Yesterday the Guardian, hardly a unbiased media outlet, reported that the “Hague court is under western pressure not to open [a] Gaza war crimes inquiry.” The picture was a little clearer this morning.

The latter option would have grave consequences for Israel. It would essentially dissolve Israel’s military force since no Israeli commander would be willing to participate in combat any longer.
