Posting on of an appeal

Appeal for lawyers and forensic medicine specialists to go to Palestine for one month.

LAW, The Palestinian Society for the Protection of Human Rights and the Environment (see the website at http://www.lawsociety.org/) are in dire need of lawyers with expertise in the investigation of War Crimes.

The US National Lawyers Guild is sending a team of lawyers in mid-May to investigate for one week.

But what is needed immediately are attorneys who have previously been in Kosovo or Rwanda and gathered on the ground expertise in the investigating, documenting and applying of the Geneva Conventions in this milieu. Further there is a need for experts in forensic medicine.

Of course those with expertise in war crimes would be wonderful. In the past, due to religious constraints, autopsies have not been done to document atrocities in Palestine. The population has now succumbed and understand the need to allow for the same.

Housing, food, etc., will be provided. We are looking for a one month commitment.

Please contact me immediately if you or someone you know can make this important contribution to humanity.

I could recommend a few good Jewish lawyers but they don't deal with propagandists.

Lalric, I don't think you've submitted a single objective or decent posting to this site, and you've submitted quite a few.

Are you just sitting there waiting for the next report on Israeli atrocites only to deny it happened?

I'd guess you are an Israeli or Jewish at any rate.
If you are Jewish or Israeli, that doesn't mean you have to blindly defend the actions of the Israeli state.
You seemt o have a very narrow view of things.
Get a life. There are plenty of decent Israeli and Jewish people, and they don't like what Sharon is doing. What would you call them? Maybe you should start hanging with a different crowd.
