Jiri Potuznik (Spokesperson of the Czech EU Presidency apologizing to human rights lawyer, Daniel Machover, who took him to task over his irresponsible statement that Israel's land invasion of Gaza was "defensive." Later in the day, the statement was retracted, the EU reiterated its demand for an immediate ceasefire, and Mr. Potuznik submitted his resignation in shame)
"I have corrected my statement to all journalist I talked last night, correction is going to be placed on our official webside [sic] also; I do believe that misunderstanding [sic] with "defensive" will not undermine common EU position to Gaza situation and the mission of Mr. Schwarzenberg in region; let me againg [sic] apologize [sic] to You personally."

Daniel Machover (British human rights lawyer active in international jurisdiction issues writing to British Foreign Minister, David Miliband)
"I consider an upgrade in EU-Israeli relations would be viewed by Israel (and the world at large) as an endorsement of gross and repeated Israeli grave breaches of IHL. In my view, decision makers proceeding with such an upgrade would (especially if Israel's apparent war crimes were on going) enter what the International Commission of Jurists have recently described as a 'zone of legal risk' because their decisions could amount to criminal complicity. ... Israel must bring itself into compliance with IHL and international law in general before anything else."

Statement by conscientious Israelis against Israel's war on Gaza (more than 460 Israelis signed it):
"In the past the world knew how to fight criminal policies. The boycott on South Africa was effective, but Israel is handled with kid gloves: its trade relations are flourishing, academic and cultural cooperation continue and intensify with diplomatic support. This international backing must stop. That is the only way to stop the insatiable Israeli violence.
"EU institutions and member states to make effective use of the European Union Guidelines on promoting compliance with international humanitarian law (2005/C 327/04) to ensure Israel complies with international humanitarian law under paragraph 16 (b), (c) and (d) of these guidelines, including the adoption of immediate restrictive measures and sanctions, as well as cessation of all upgrade dialogue with Israel."
