1) Cecilie Hellestveit ifølge MIFF 29. september 2009:
- I forhold til hva som er vanlig ellers i verden, fulgte Israel reglene for krigføring "godt over gjennomsnittlig" under krigen på Gaza-stripen i vinter, mener seniorforsker Cecilie Hellestveit."
2) Goldstone-rapporten (ifølge Wiki)
Report
On 15 September 2009, a 574-page report was released.[4] The report concluded that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Palestinian militant groups had committed war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity. While the report condemned violations by both sides, it differentiated between the moral and legal severity of the violations of the Israeli forces compared to those of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups. These differentiators included 'grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention committed by Israeli forces in Gaza; wilful killing, torture or inhuman treatment, willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, and extensive destruction of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly'.[65][note 1]
