There is a petition asking the United Nations to treat suicide bombings as war crimes and that those who inspire them be prosecuted by the International War Crimes Tribunal.
The Call for UN &World Leaders to Prosecute Organizers of Suicide/Homicide Bombings, performing acts of terror against Civilians, as War Criminals, was initiated by Scholars for Peace in the Middle East and written by Dr. Edward S. Beck.
1 [one] million signatures are being sought for this petition.
I like to keep politics out so I will just say this...there is more than enough blame on both sides and it is time for both sides to take a different tact. Posted by JeffY (Member # 120) on :
The only problem is that your prosecuting people for their "religion". Suicide bombers and their families believe that they are doing what their religion requires them to do and they will be rewarded for it. I agree with the petition that suicide bombing should be treated as war crimes against humanity, just any other act of terrorism. I agree with the Israelies method of destroying the houses of the suicide bombers families. However, there will never be an end until the Arabs step up to the plate and take responsibility for creating the problem in the first place.
