There's something downright bizarre and pathetic about Israel accusing Iran of "war crimes" whilst it was busy dumping phosporous bombs on the heads of defenseless refugees in a concentration camp called Gaza. I guess they'll do anything to try to desperately shift the focus off of the Goldstone report on Israeli war crimes -- which was just endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly as well as the head of the UNHCR despite US attempts to kill the report at the UNHC , and is now off to the Security Council (where the US will have to take the rather embarassing step of yet again using a veto to kill the report ... by which time the damage will have been done. the US will simply be seen as exercising raw power to cover up documented war crimes by Israel. Ain't that a wonderful position for a self-proclaimed defender of human rights around to world to be in?)

What's funny is that they cant even come up with a credible story for this weapons charge. They claim all the 300 tons worth of weapons were loaded in Egypt!
