Israel, Gaza, and war crimes

I have just come across this quote:

.…What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians. We are doing this not because of an accidental loss of control in a particular sector, not because of a disproportionate outburst of fighters in some unit — but as a result of a policy dictated by the government, knowingly, intentionally, maliciously, with reckless abandon. Yes, we are committing war crimes.

This did not come from the pen of an anti-Zionist or a pro-Palestinian. It is an extract from an article written by former Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, and published in the Hebrew edition of Ha’aretz on 22 May.
