UN report: Israel guilty of wanton destruction (of terrorists??)
Israel is guilty of severe human rights violations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, including "wanton destruction" of houses and infrastructure, according to a United Nations report obtained by The Associated Press. The annual human rights report is to be presented to the U.N. General Assembly later this month. The 18-page report was prepared by John Dugard, the U.N. representative for human rights. It charges that while some of Israel's actions in the Palestinian areas can be explained by security concerns, many cannot. This is unthinkable! Israel protecting herself? This can't be? It's SO similar to Warsaw 1943. It's shocking! I am absolutely mystified Jews would actual protect themselves, mind boggling! Fighting back against demented Islamists who relish the thought of self-detonating on every city bus in Israel? This guy, John Dugard, the U.N. representative for human rights, really needs to study up, first hand, on the deadly effects of an Arab fired Qassam rocket smashing into to some unsuspecting Israeli's living room. During operations in the Gaza Strip, Israel engaged in "massive and wanton destruction of property," the report said. "Bulldozers have destroyed homes in a purposeless manner and have savagely dug up roads, including electricity, sewage and water lines." The report is dated August 12, well before the current Israeli operation in northern Gaza, the largest in four years of fighting. The report criticizes repeated Israeli operations in the Rafah refugee camp on the Gaza-Egypt border. Israel says its operations in Rafah are essential to stop arms smuggling. Many arms smuggling tunnels have been uncovered in the area. Continues in link: Posted by: Mark Espinola 2004-10-16 |
