CNN-Israeli Foreign Minister caught lying about Gaza

Amnesty slams Israel 'war crimes'




Most Palestinian casualties are unjustifiable, Amnesty says
Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing war crimes in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The rights group's report for 2004 says Israeli forces have killed some 700 Palestinians - including 150 children - mostly in unlawful circumstances.

The report lists "reckless shooting, shelling and air strikes in civilian areas... and excessive use of force".

It also condemns the killing of Israeli civilians by Palestinian militants and violence by Jewish settlers.

"Certain abuses committed by the Israeli army constituted crimes against humanity and war crimes," Amnesty's report says.

"The deliberate targeting of civilians by Palestinian armed groups constituted crimes against humanity," it adds.

An Israeli opposition MP has requested an urgent parliamentary debate on the report.

But an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman denied the charge of war crimes and said Amnesty's analysis appeared "one-sided".

The report says Palestinian armed groups killed 109 Israelis, including 59 civilians and eight children, in suicide bombings, shootings and mortar attacks.

'Impunity'

Amnesty's accusations against the Israeli army include unlawful killings, torture, extensive and wanton destruction of property, obstruction of medical assistance and targeting of medical personnel.

Amnesty also says Israel has continued to use Palestinians as "human shields" during military operations, "forcing them to carry out tasks that endangered their lives", despite an injunction by Israel's high court banning the practice.

The report accuses Israel of offering impunity to soldiers and settlers who commit crimes against Palestinians.

"In the overwhelming majority of the thousands of cases of unlawful killings and other grave human rights violations in the previous four years, no investigations were known to have been carried out," the report says.

"The Israeli army and police ... routinely increased restrictions on the local Palestinian population in response to attacks by Israeli settlers," it adds.

Dire situation

In addition to the report's focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Amnesty criticises a number of regimes in neighbouring Arab countries.




Palestinian suicide bombings are "crimes against humanity"

Egypt and Syria are blamed for systematic torture and ill-treatment of political prisoners.

In Saudi Arabia, Amnesty highlights killings by security forces and armed groups, exacerbating the "already dire human rights situation in the country".

Jordan is said to have made scores of political arrests, amid reports of torture and ill-treatment in custody.

In Iraq, the report says US-led forces committed gross human rights violations, including unlawful killings, arbitrary detention and torture.

Armed groups in Iraq are similarly blamed for targeting civilians, hostage-taking and killing hostages.

The innocent children were learning to be martyrs. Problem solved. It is known Hamas use Human Shields. The world is not that stupid. This is like telling the police to shoot the gun off the hand during a fire fight instead what has to be done shoot to stop

[wehhabi]

@jaaagosto Well, you are saying “children can not be innocent because they are Palestinians”

I have read some of your comments in other channels; you were trying to show yourself as a Jesus guy. Not Jesus we know but Jesus you learned about from john hagee and pat Robertson

[chippis78]

The world is uppside down, good is evil, innocent is guilty, civilian is militant, resistense is terrorism for Zionists

Hamas is the Democraticly elected goverment of the Palistinian people, they live inside a tiny tiny peace of land fenced in on both sides of the boarders. millions of people live there and Israel have them trapped inside a concentration camp and having basically target practise on them, and claiming they are "defending" themself. It is ridiculous.

@Alexplus20 Actually anyone stupid enough to believe an israeli jew should have their head examined. Israel is a big fat lie full of criminals, theives and murderers. VIVA PALESTINE!! Jews go home (but stay out of my home!!!)

[Alexplus20]

It's not a low that Israel.has been defending itself against those genocidal maniacs who have been terrorizing them for the past 60 years.

Those who actually bought the Fakestinians BS victim story should get their heads checked.

[MrPropagandaSucks]

This video is very Biased. First of all, he didnt lie. Second,CNN is clearly bashing the Israeli for no reason. Also, it only shows footage of " poor Palestinians" and not of the Israeli victims who where terrorized, wounded and killed because they are Jewish. This is classic propaganda making the Israelis always look like the evil people, and the terrorists are the victims.
