Israeli documentary attests killing of egyptian POWs in 1967 - rumors of atrocities

[Kernunnos]

A scandal has broken in Egypt and Israel thanks to the airing by the Israeli telvision of a documentary showing evidence of a mass klling of egyptian POWs in the 67 war by a unit led by the present day israel\\\'s infrastructure minister Benjamin Ben Eliezer, then an army commander of an elite unit. Rumors of atrocities cmmitted by both sides had surfaced also regarding the 56 campaign. Ben Eliezer is accused of the mass killing of 250 (or 300) unarmed egyptian POWs. I\\\'m waiting for a dour pronunciation by the Aja tribunal, which is so fast at targeting christian serbs and croats. The two wars seem to have been characterized by violences on prisoners by both sides, will we see a repetition of the trials that were held for the bosnian war? Another observation that can be made is that israeli center-left politicians are of a different mould than the western ones, they love war and seem to partecipate to it with some strong gusto for mass execution. Will this politician be excoriated by his western social-democratic peers? http://za.today.reuters.com/news/New...S-20070305.XML Egypt summons Israel envoy over alleged \'67 killings - Haaretz - Israel News
