Human rights watch: schending oorlogsrecht door Israel
Een diepgaand onderzoek naar de aanvallen op scholen in Gaza:

(Jerusalem) – Three Israeli attacks that damaged Gaza schools housing
displaced people caused numerous civilian casualties in violation of the laws
of war, Human Rights Watch said today. In the first in-depth documentation
of the violations, Human Rights Watch investigated the three attacks, which
occurred on July 24 and 30, and August 3, 2014, and killed 45 people, including 17 children.
“The Israeli military carried out attacks on or near three well-marked schools
where it knew hundreds of people were taking shelter, killing and wounding
scores of civilians,” said Fred Abrahams, special adviser at Human Rights
Watch. “Israel has offered no convincing explanation for these attacks on
schools where people had gone for protection and the resulting carnage.”
Two of the three attacks Human Rights Watch investigated – in Beit Hanoun
and Jabalya – did not appear to target a military objective or were otherwise
unlawfully indiscriminate. The third attack in Rafah was unlawfully
disproportionate if not otherwise indiscriminate. Unlawful attacks carried out
willfully – that is, deliberately or recklessly – are war crimes.

Human rights watch is meestal de meest terughoudende van de mensenrechten organisaties als het om Israel gaat.
Ik ben benieuwd wat de Israel lobby nu weer gaat verzinnen om al die rapporten, die nog komen, te gaan weerleggen. |
