U.N. Rights Chief Says Israel Attacks on Gaza May be 'War Crimes'

W460

Israel's recent barrage of deadly airstrikes on Gaza might be war crimes, the U.N. rights chief warned Thursday, adding she had seen no evidence the attacked buildings were used for military purposes.

"If found to be indiscriminate and disproportionate impacting on civilians and civilians' objects, such attacks may constitute war crimes," Michelle Bachelet told a special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council.

"Despite Israel's claims that many of these buildings were hosting armed groups or being used for military purposes, we have not seen evidence in this regard," she said.

The UNHRC has validated the firing of rockets at Israeli civilians.

Surely this in itself is a violation of human rights.

"we have not seen evidence in this regard," she said.
Just as she has not seen any evidence in :
Russian occupation of Crimea
Turkish and Iraqi attacks on Kurds and Northern Syria
Chinese attacks on Uighurs
Hamas terrorist attacks on Israeli cities including the third most holy site in Islam, Jerusalem.
Need I go on?

1948 - Wake up old chap. we are now in 2021, and you old rhetoric is no longer viable.
Mind you it is nice to know that you still believe that everyone who has different thoughts to you is an Israeli. By that, that country must have at least 50 million inhabitants.
