Iranian President calls Israeli PM Netanyahu "Skilled Killer" on Larry King Live. Part 2 of 5

UN says Israel killed and tortured Freedom Flotilla activists
29 September, 2010, 13:51

A UN Human Rights Council report has lashed out at Israel over the commando raid on the humanitarian fleet in May. The report concludes that the attack was disproportionate and has accused Israelis of brutality.

The document presented at the annual session of the council in Geneva said Israel's actions to stop the Gaza Freedom Fleet, which was intending to deliver humanitarian cargo into the blockaded Palestinian territories, had "no legal, political, moral or humane justification."

"Israel had committed torture, inhuman treatment, deliberate harm and injuries," the report said, adding that they were in violation of international law.

The document was praised by Turkey. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu welcomed it, saying it was "extremely unbiased and based on sound evidence," as he was briefing media in New York, where he participates in the UN General Assembly.

Israel and the US reacted negatively to the document. Aharon Leshno Yaar, Israel's representative to the UN, said his country "could not get a fair hearing" by the Human Rights Council. He accused the council of focusing on "the easy target" of Israel while ignoring other cases of human rights violation in the world. US envoy to the council Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe said Washington "was concerned by the report's unbalanced language, tone and conclusions" of the report.

Ahmadinejad is a very brave man! Kudos to him for standing up for his country! Isn't that what a leader is suppose to do?

@maidenstein West Bank? Ghettos anyone...... Palestinians are angry for their nation being concurred and occupied, Palestinians are expected to stay silent while their farming land is taken over and developed on, they are expected to remain silent and say in their area?? How would the U.S react if Mexico took Texas...

I still have not heard him say anything anti-Semitic or overly frightening. He seems like a fairly rational man.

I have no problem with Ahmadinejad. I tend to agree with him when he is allowed to speak and is not miss quoted. Recently it was found out that US taxpayers submit over 100 billion dollars a year to dreadful Israel and continues to admit to only the 3 billion dollars-a-year 'story'. Wow, I wouldn't give Israel a thousand dollars, let alone 100 billion. We must prevent Israel's attempts to destroy Syria and Iran. NO WAR IN MIDDLE EAST! END ALL WAR! STOP THE INSANITY!
