The scenes Willy Massay witnessed in Gaza were harrowing: children shot multiple times in the head, chest and groin; hospitals reduced to rubble; the smell of burning flesh and gunpowder lingering in the air. For the American ICU nurse, recently returned from the besieged enclave, Israel’s assault on Gaza was not just war; it was…

Last week, headlines lit up with a staggering development: Microsoft locked the world’s top war crimes prosecutor out of his email.
