The Nakba: All you need to know explained in five maps and charts

Every year on 15 May Palestinians mark the Nakba, "catastrophe" in English, when around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes by Zionist militias to make way for the creation of Israel in 1948.

Slobodan Milosevic: arrest warrant issued in 1999, lost election in 2000, arrested and handed over in 2001, died in jail in 2006 with the trial still not over.

If the International Criminal Court does charge Israeli or Hamas leaders with #warcrimes, don’t expect swift or certain justice.

International prosecution of Israeli or Hamas leaders wouldn’t bring quick justice − and even bringing them to court will be difficult

Prosecuting leaders indicted for war crimes is difficult. But the trial of Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic in the early 2000s offers a potential playbook.

"Israeli Labor Party leader Merav Michaeli yesterday called for the dismantling of an army unit with a history of abuses, saying it is killing Palestinians “for no real reason”,...“The violent and corrupt conduct of the Netzah Yehuda battalion and those around it has been known for years, and nothing has been done to stop it.”"
