Former Israeli PM Olmert explains why he believes his country is committing war crimes


And the fact is that, after 20 months there is a growing understanding in Israel by many former leaders of the army, the Mossad, the Secret Service, the generals. And I think that it is my responsibility, considering my background and the responsibilities I had for the state of Israel, to spell it out, so that there will be as many people across the world that will know that there are other voices in Israel, not just the messianic groups of thugs which support the government, but that the majority of the Israelis think that enough is enough. We have to stop the war, we have to bring back all the hostages that we can, and we have to try and see how we can change the realities on ground, so that Hamas will be prohibited from any further control on Gaza, with the cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordan others, and hopefully in the near future also embarking on peace negotiations with Palestinians for a two-state solution.
