| UN: Israel may have ‘willfully killed' Gaza protesters |
| 2019-09-10 |
| [Jpost] The UN accused Israel of killing and injuring "peaceful" Palestinian protesters at the Gaza border, when it opened the 42nd session of its Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday. "In the vast majority of cases monitored by my office, no indication was found that the demonstrators ‐ including children who were killed or seriously injured by live fire ‐ represented an imminent threat of death or risk of serious injury to the Israeli soldiers ‐ or anyone else," UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet told the council. ...She acknowledged that there were protesters who "damaged and breached the fence," threw petrol bombs, sound grenades and improvised explosive devices towards Israeli soldiers, injuring two, she said. Between March and August, some "180 burning kites and incendiary balloons" were launched, she added. |

| #6 ...when it opened the 42nd session of its Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday. So right off the bat with this useless 'council', a UN group basically accuses Israel of war crimes. Talk about a standing headline -they can fuck right the fuck off. I can't wait until Trump pulls all US funding for these parasites. |

| #3 Two injured and the fence breached,but they didn't threaten injuries or endanger the people of Israel? This witch comes from a long line of French collaborators, doesn't she? |

| #1 I should hope it was willful. To accidentally shoot someone would be the height of carelessness. |
