23/01/2009 Israeli media said Thursday that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appointed Justice Minister Friedmann to lead an inter-ministerial committee that would formulate ways to counteract prosecutions against Israel for striking civilians and civilian institutions during the war on Gaza.

The team is also expected to consult experts on international law during its work.

According to Ynet, Friedmann's appointment follows Attorney General Menachem Mazuz's statement earlier this week that Israel is "preparing for a wave of international lawsuits over the operation in Gaza.

"That in itself is nothing new. I can only assume that following the events, we will have more intensive and focused work ahead of us," he added.

But JSF will publish any incriminating information about an individual soldier or General anyone has, anonymously.


Israel's chicken soldiers, tough on children, tough on mothers, should have no respite.


Look at how they camouflage their faces so professionally. It's important. Palestinian babies have the best eyesight in the world. Sneaking behind them to shoot their mother is a demanding task that requires the highest standard of soldiering.
