Yes, it was a War Crime but I won't hold my breath waiting for NATO to bomb Tel Aviv. Full text at link.

Rees has quite rightly been blamed for the Respect/Left List/Left Alternative fiasco, which culminated in the SWP-led slate being wiped out in May’s elections to the London assembly. This humiliation then saw the defection to Labour and the Liberal Democrats of Left List councillors and assembly candidates. read full story / add a comment
