Amnesty International exposes israeli war crimes in Gaza

    Israel committed war crimes and carried out reckless attacks and acts of wanton destruction in its Gaza offensive, an independent human rights report says.Hundreds of Palestinian civilians were killed using high-precision weapons, while others were shot at close range, the group Amnesty International says.

    Its report also calls rocket attacks by Palestinian militants war crimes and accuses Hamas of endangering civilians.

    The 117-page report by Amnesty International says many of the hundreds of civilian deaths in the conflict "cannot simply be dismissed as 'collateral damage' incidental to otherwise lawful attacks - or as mistakes". It says "disturbing questions" remain unanswered as to why children playing on roofs and medical staff attending the wounded were killed by "highly accurate missiles" whose operators had detailed views of their targets.


    Lives were lost because Israeli forces "frequently obstructed access to medical care," the report says. It also reiterates previous condemnations of the use of "imprecise" weapons such as white phosphorous and artillery shells. The destruction of homes, businesses and public buildings was in many cases "wanton and deliberate" and "could not be justified on the grounds of military necessity", the report adds.


    "All of those things occurred on a scale that constitutes pattern - and constitutes war crimes," Donatella Rovera, who headed the research, told the BBC.


    The document also gives details of several cases where it says people - including women and children posing no threat to troops - were shot at close range as they were fleeing their homes in search of shelter.


    The Amnesty report says no evidence was found that Palestinian militants had forced civilians to stay in buildings being used for military purposes, contradicting Israeli claims that Hamas repeatedly used "human shields".

    Funny how you seem to ignore that they found that the terrorist group Hamas commited war crimes with the constant rocket fire into Israel which led to Israel's defense efforts to stop those rocket attacks.

    From your article:
    Its report also calls rocket attacks by Palestinian militants war crimes and accuses Hamas of endangering civilians.

    Who really cares what these groups say anyway? You only want to use these types of report when they are in your favor by you happily turn a blind eye to every atrocity committed in the name of Islam. Nobody cares about this anymore - your boys have cried wolf too many times when they themselves were to blame by firing rockets into Israel in the first place.

    Here is a tip. If you don't want your country attacked, don't fire rockets into your neighboring country. Most civilized people don't need that explained to them. Hamas is a bunch of terrorist thugs who don't care about the lives of Jews or Muslims.

    Of course, how silly of me, it is the Jews fault that Hamas fires rockets into Israel.

    I guess Allah must support the Jews and Israel - what else could explain why Israel is so successful and the Palestinians are where they are?


    And what is their excuse for firing indiscriminately at civilians? I am sure you will find some way to blame that too on America or the Jews.

    Nope, the Martians occupied Palestine and expelled around 650,000 Palestinians from their homes so it is Martians fault...

    Only if you consider US to be Allah...

    US did it with Hiroshima and Nagasaki so why do you now complain? Killing innocent civilians to force their leaders to do something is the same shit now and than. Period.

    I'm tired of you and hearing the same lame shit from every Islamic terrorist supporter. Crying to the UN, "save us, save us" "Everyone else is a war criminal and attacks civilians"

    Your people have cried that bullshit for so long now nobody gives a crap anymore.

    I have never seen a bigger bunch of pussies than the supporters of Palestinians. If you want to fight and get your ass kicked by Israel, go to Palestine, join with Hamas already. Bitching and complaining the same thing over and over here on DP in thread after thread is just getting tired and stale.

    Let's use your logic here:
    I have never seen a bigger bunch of pussies than the supporters of Israel. If you want to fight and get your ass kicked by Palestinians, go to Israel, join with IOF already. Bitching and complaining the same thing over and over here on DP in thread after thread is just getting tired and stale. :rolleyes:

    Seriously, this post of you is biggest hypocrisy I ever saw here on DP and if anyone is pussy around here it is you and you only (if we use your logic)!
    Should we count how many threads have you started here in DP "bitching and complaining the same thing over and over"? Out of 159 threads you started my guess is that like 120 of them you started here in P&R forum "bitching and complaining the same thing over and over" yet I didn't saw you joining the army and fighting with those you "bitch and complain about thread after thread".
    Seriously!

    Amnesty international is not your average group, it is well known world-over for its work
    but of course you won't care about it, just like you don't care about UN resolutions, or any morals and standards

    Yeah... if Amensty International agrees with the western elite, its all good and dandy. But when it implicates an aparthied imperial outpost for commiting human rights abuses, then it becomes illegitimate.

    Person does not need Amnesty International or others to know that Israel is practicing crimes against humanity and using illegal weapons, and of course lying about it:

    in 1982 Israel used white phosphorous against civilians in Lebanon, when the Lebanese complained about its use, Israel first denied it, until it's been discovered on two Lebanese babies bodies by foreign journalists, then they admitted it.

    in 1973, when Israel shot down a civilian Libyan airliner, which lost its way in a sand storm, Israel first said we issued a warning before shooting it down, but later when the black box showed no warnings, they admitted they were lying as usual.

    in 1956 when Ariel Sharon and 101 unit, planted bombs in civilian houses and destroyed them on their inhabitants, Israel first denied it, and even cried anti-Semitic, later after been faced by proofs, they admitted it.

    in 1953, when Israel bombed British, American, and Egyptian targets in Cairo and Alexandria, Israel first denied it, later when they been faced by proofs, they admitted it.

    these are just 4 examples of so many known, and of course many more that have not been discovered or proved yet, no forgetting also their role in 9/11, as the Mossad agents admitted on Israeli channel two: “Our Purpose Was To Document The Event”. and the fact that despite they had enough time to send agents to "document the event" they did not warn their allies.

    without more incidents despite they are many, why would anybody trust what Israel says after just these 4 incidents? and not what independent organizations say?

    As usual you are trying to blame the acts of Islamic terrorists on Jews. This is the level of thought in all your posts. I guess we both agree they speak for themselves.
