The Western-funded and armed rogue state:
Amnesty International on Thursday accused Israeli forces of war crimes, saying they used children as human shields and conducted wanton attacks on civilians during their offensive in the Gaza Strip.
The London-based human rights group also accused Hamas of war crimes, but said it found no evidence that the Islamist rulers of Gaza used civilians as human shields during the 22-day offensive Israel launched on December 28.
It also reiterated its call for an international arms embargo against Israel.
“Much of the destruction was wanton and resulted from direct attacks on civilian objects,” Amnesty said in a study.
Israeli troops forced Palestinians to stay in one room of their home while turning the rest of the house into a base and sniper position, “effectively using the families, both adults and children, as human shields and putting them at risk,” the group said.
“Intentionally using civilians to shield a military objective, often referred to as using ‘human shields’ is a war crime,” Amnesty said.
Based on this finding, will AICE’s Albert Dadon continue his justification for the killing of civilians in the Gaza?
Dadon needs professional help…his statements in the Australian newspaper in January this year, in which he justified the killing of civilians when they are used a human shields, are those of a sociopath. Dadon said (in part):
“If Israel has learned the lessons of the 2006 war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas has learned from that war too. Hezbollah was able to use the southern Lebanese population as human shields, and get away with it.
You would think that such a crime would be denounced by humanitarian groups, by the UN and by Western media.
Alas, the strategy has worked for Hamas: it produced the images that screamed from the front pages of newspapers and TV screens, pushingthe buttons of people across theworld.
Emotions cloud the context; the result is a circus. It is mind-boggling that barely any media outlet outside Israel has consistently denounced Hamas for using Palestinian women and children as human shields”.
This is the guy who Julia Gillard recently toured Israel with, and who is a close confidant of Kevin Rudd.
The Rudd Government will never be able to shake its egregious judgement to hook up with ultra right wing fascist Australian Jewry….decent Jews around the world are in shock at this situation in Australia.
