the UN seems to think Israel is guilty of war crimes. To help stave off the flaming that I know is coming, I'll add that find it quite plausible that Hamas is guilty of war crimes as well. I find it hard to follow this issue as it reminds me of nothing so much as two toddlers argung about who touched who first. Except that people are dying. And one of the parties has sworn the annihilation of the other, apparently. I don't have any useful thoughts besides a hope that a resolution will be found.
