"Hamas may have committed war crimes, rights group says; Israel had faced same accusation" by Diaa Hadid, Associated Press | August 7, 2009
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A prominent human rights group said there is “strong evidence’’ that Gaza’s Hamas rulers committed war crimes by allowing militants to fire rockets from the territory that killed civilians in Israel, according to a report released yesterday.
Pfft: The Gaza Rocket Squads
CUI BONO? Israel said no matter who fired 'em they would blame Hamas!
Oh, yeah:
The removed Israeli government graph: 'Monthly distribution of rockets hits.'
On the 4th November, the day when Americans were watching the results of the Presidential election, the Israeli army broke the ceasefire by raiding the strip.
--MORE--"
The 31-page report by the New York-based Human Rights Watch focuses on Hamas’s actions in connection with Israel’s three-week offensive in Gaza that ended in late January. Human Rights Watch, as well as other groups, have previously accused Israel of committing war crimes during the offensive, which was aimed at stopping Palestinian rocket fire.
Which was a lie. See the AmeriKan jewspapers making EXCUSES for ISRAEL?
“Hamas rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians are unlawful and unjustifiable, and amount to war crimes,’’ said Iain Levine of Human Rights Watch. But the report stopped short of accusing Hamas militants of war crimes, with officials saying only a court could make that determination.
Hamas rejected the group’s findings, calling the organization biased.
I AGREE! I no longer like western-centric human rights organizations that are funded and pressured by Jews. It explains so much regarding the West's "human rights" concerns.
Of course, MY NATION is the LARGEST TORTURER and KILLER on the face of the planet, so it's kinda hard to criticize anyone from here.
More than 1,100 Palestinians were killed during the offensive. Palestinians said most were civilians, but Israel disputed that.
Actually, it was OVER 1, 400 and at least 14 Gazans die every day because of the war criminal siege of Israel!
Three Israeli civilians were killed by rocket fire and 10 soldiers were also killed during the conflict as Israeli warplanes, tanks, and artillery smashed Palestinian government buildings, and destroyed and damaged thousands of apartments, schools, and factories.
I've had it with the one-sided, jewish bias.
Hamas militants fired hundreds of rockets at southern Israeli towns, forcing thousands of civilians to hide in shelters or to flee. Many of those rockets were filmed by Israeli army drones and seen by foreign observers being launched from crowded Palestinian neighborhoods.

Of course, Israel wouldn't be phonying up films of rocket fire or anything.
Israel was accused by rights groups of using excessive force and endangering civilians in Gaza.
A small group of Israeli soldiers who fought in the offensive made anonymous statements in a report issued last month saying Israel’s military used Palestinians as human shields, improperly fired incendiary white phosphorous shells over civilian areas, and used overwhelming firepower that caused needless deaths and destruction. The report was released by an organization of Israeli army reservists critical of their country’s treatment of Palestinians.
Oh my, I can't believe they mentioned the WMD!
(See FLASHBACK at the bottom of this post)
The army said that if they would come forward and give evidence, the allegations would be investigated. International rights groups have said the degree of force and heavy civilian death toll constituted war crimes, and the UN has begun investigating the actions of Israel and Hamas.
Bill Van Esveld of Human Rights Watch said it was not the numbers of people killed but the intent of armed groups to harm civilians that determined whether they committed war crimes.
Van Esveld said the Islamic militant group, which is committed to Israel’s destruction, violated international war rules by allowing fighters to launch rockets that either “deliberately or indiscriminately’’ targeted civilian areas.
It's always the same old lying s*** propaganda, and I can't take it anymore.
Hamas also violated rules of war, he said, by allowing militants to fire from populated Gaza areas, endangering the lives of civilians by making them vulnerable to return Israeli fire. Van Esveld said that in the specific cases where three Israeli civilians were killed by rocket fire, there was “strong evidence’’ Hamas militants committed war crimes.
One Israeli civilian, Beber Vaknin, 58, was killed while in his backyard, about 6 miles from Gaza. Hani al-Mahdi, an Israel construction worker, was killed at a building site. Irit Sheetrit, a mother of four, was killed as she drove home. “It’s clear evidence of intent to commit war crimes,’’ Van Esveld said. He said other cases needed more investigation.
Look at thos whole thing once again turn into an Israeli sob story; this is the "free press" in action?
Hamas took responsibility for each of the attacks on its website but Hamas spokesman Ismail Ridwan nevertheless denied the charges. “Hamas did not use human shields and did not fire rockets from residential areas. Hamas does not target civilians,’’ Ridwan said.
In the lexicon of Hamas, no Israeli is considered a civilian as all have either performed compulsory military service, will serve in the future, or are currently in the reserves....
Of course, GAZAN WOMEN and CHILDREN were considered "terrorists" by that mass-murdering s***-stinking state, but you know, I'm reading their rectal wart of a mouthpiece here so....
The Israeli NGO Monitor, which critiques groups such as Human Rights Watch, criticized it for waiting for six months before issuing its report critical of Hamas though it contained “no new information.’’ Gerald Steinberg, director of NGO Monitor, pointed out that the group already released two reports critical of Israel. “The fact that it [Hamas] is only now on their agenda exposes their biased priorities,’’ he said.
Can an ARTICLE be ANY MORE BIASED and ONE-SIDED, readers?
Since fighting subsided in January, Hamas militants have held back from firing rockets, respecting an unwritten truce with Israel.
EXCUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSE ME?!!!!!!!!!!!
One reason is NO SUPPLIES are getting in at all because of the siege; however, ISRAEL HASN'T RESPECTED the TRUCE at all!!!
Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by most of the international community.
Well, then, THEY GOT IT BACKWARD!
ISREAL is the TERRORIST GOVERNMENT!!!!!

"Israeli veterans of Gaza war call military force excessive; 26 give testimony about use of phosphorus, human shields, heavy firepower" by Steve Weizman, Associated Press | July 16, 2009
Now THAT can't be dismissed as some fringe criticism!
JERUSALEM - Israeli soldiers who fought in last winter’s Gaza war say the military used Palestinians as human shields, improperly fired incendiary white phosphorus shells over civilian areas, and used overwhelming firepower that caused needless deaths and destruction, according to a report released yesterday.
Yeah, EVERYONE KNOWS about ISRAEL'S WAR CRIMES!!!
The testimonies were by far the strongest allegations to come from war veterans that the army used excessive force during the three-week offensive and echoed claims already leveled by Palestinian and human rights groups. The military rebutted the report, saying the accounts were anonymous and impossible to verify.
You aren't winning yourselves any points here, you lying Nazionist s***s!
The accounts of 26 war veterans were collected by Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli army reservists who are critical of their country’s treatment of Palestinians.
May GOD BLESS the GOOD JEWS of ISRAEL!!!! The rest can FRY!
They described demolishing buildings, vandalizing homes, and using more than essential firepower, given the relatively light resistance they encountered.

One said the army needlessly used white phosphorus a masking agent that can cause severe burns, for smokescreens. Others said regulations for opening fire were vague, and that soldiers were expected to do whatever was necessary to protect themselves.
“There were no clear red lines,’’ one soldier told the group. “If you’re not sure, kill. Firepower was insane,’’ said another. Military officers have acknowledged that rules of engagement were relaxed to minimize army casualties, but they insisted civilians were never targeted.
Israel launched the blistering offensive in December, after thousands of rocket attacks by Palestinian militants on southern Israel over an eight-year period.
Of course, NOTHING about the TRUCE and NEAR SIX MONTH CEASE FIRE or the 60 YEARS of LAND-STEALING OCCUPATION and OPPRESSION!
More than 1,400 Palestinians, including at least 900 civilians, were killed in the fighting, thousands of homes were destroyed, and Gaza’s infrastructure was battered, according to Gaza health officials and human rights groups.
I'm surprised they even mentioned the Palestinian dead.
And it SHOWS the MSM KNOW the REAL TOLL and NOW MINIMIZE IT!!!!
Of course, then it is time to MOVE ON!
Yesterday’s report was sure to fuel a debate that still rages six months after the offensive over whether Israel violated the rules of war.
Oh, there is NO DEBATE! They DID!
International rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have said the degree of force and the heavy civilian death toll constitute war crimes, and the UN has launched an investigation, headed by a respected war crimes prosecutor, into the actions of Israel. Israel maintains that responsibility for the carnage lies with Hamas, which it says cached ammunition in schools and mosques, blended in with the general population, and used civilian areas and public buildings for cover.
Yeah, even though those are ISRAELI LIES!!!!!!!!
They are so fucking disgusting with their victim-blaming! That's why the world hates them!
The Israeli military said it “regrets the fact that yet another human rights organization is presenting to Israel and the world a report based on anonymous and general testimonies, without investigating their details or credibility.’’
They are sure fine ones to talk with their "annonymous sources" and "unidentified witnesses," etc, etc.
The military also said that since no identifying details were given, it was impossible to verify the accounts. It urged soldiers to come forward and register official complaints.
Why, so they can be punished or declared mentally ill?
Defense Minister Ehud Barak reiterated his belief that the Israeli military “is one of the world’s most moral armies and operates according to the highest moral code.’’
Hey, maybe YOU believe that you fat hunk of Jewish fat; however, the REST of the WORLD NOW KNOWS what SCUMBAGS you are!!!
Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Hamas government in Gaza, said the report “reflects the crimes committed in Gaza.’’ He called on “human rights bodies and international groups’’ to put Israel’s leaders on trial.
The 110-page report, which included videotaped testimonies in which soldiers’ faces were blurred out, did not represent a cross-section of the army. Rather, they were troops who approached the group or were reached through acquaintances of group members. Two were junior officers, and the rest were lower-ranking personnel. It did not examine Hamas’s actions.
No, that's what AmeriKa's MSM and the West's ass-sucking Zionist human rights attack dogs are for.

Of course, this gets muted criticism and is allowed to continue ad nauseum:
JERUSALEM - Israeli police evicted two Palestinian families in east Jerusalem yesterday, then allowed Jewish settlers to move into their homes, drawing criticism from the United Nations and the US State Department.
Then CUT OFF the DAMN $$$$!!!!!!!
Police cordoned off part of the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah before dawn, then forcibly removed about 50 people, said Chris Gunness, spokesman for the UN agency in charge of Palestinian refugees. UN staff members later saw vehicles bringing Jewish settlers to move into the homes, he said.

Israeli police cited a ruling by the country’s Supreme Court that the houses belonged to Jews and that the Arab families had been living there illegally. But Gunness said the families had lived in the homes for more than 50 years.
F***ing Jews wonder why they are hated?
Megan Mattson, State Department spokeswoman, said such actions in east Jerusalem constitute violations of Israel’s obligations under the US-backed “road map’’ peace plan.
Yeah, so? They STILL GETTING U.S. CHECKS from the TAXPAYER, right?
Robert Serry, the UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, called yesterday’s evictions “totally unacceptable.’’ “These actions heighten tensions and undermine international efforts to create conditions for fruitful negotiations to achieve peace,’’ he said.
Whatever, UN! I've stopped listening to you these days.

"About those Israel mall vendors: kiosks providing cover for IDF training of militant Jews in United States
WMR has learned from a knowledgeable source with close ties to senior Department of Justice officials that the suspicious activities of young Israeli men and women who aggressively push Israeli cosmetic products at mall kiosks around the United States is not only tied to gathering intelligence from nearby military and government facilities but also to recruit American Jews for specialized “counter-terrorism” training at a militant Jewish training camp in the Catskills in upstate New York.
According to our well-placed source, retired and reserve members of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) are conducting paramilitary training at the Catskills camp. The camp once belonged to the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a designated terrorist organization in the United States.
Please remember that for the next "terror" event, America.
