The Palestinian terrorist group known as Hamas contested an Amnesty International report that charged the organization with committing war crimes during its conflict with Israel. The charged stemmed from Hamas’ unprovoked rocket attacks on clearly civilian targets in Israel.
Israeli forces subsequently invaded Gaza, the site from which the rockets were launched, in an effort to stop the attacks. Amnesty International also charged Israel with war crimes for the collateral damage to Gaza civilians during the invasion.
“I am glad to see that Israel’s criminal regime has been justly cited for their atrocities,” said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri. “But how can we be war criminals? We only killed Jews. According to the Koran, Jews are the equivalent of monkeys or pigs. Why is our freedom to practice our religion not respected?”

“Sami Abu Zuhri” LOL. The UN would accept Hamas’ argument on its face, undoubtedly.
Thanks for the chuckle John. I’d imagine your Mr. Abusery will regret stirring the ire of PETA.
“In other news, stung by Hamas’s criticism that the organization is ‘unfair’, Amnesty International offered a profuse apology and stated that in compensation they would build an Islamic minaret on office grounds and broadcast the Islamic call to prayer 5 times a day from the minaret’s loudspeakers!”(sarcasm/on)

Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc., etc., further consider that there is no such thing as killing innocents being in their eyes and mindsets, there is no such thing as ‘innocents’ in Israel, only occupiers....
To be frank, the ‘war crimes’ claim against Hamas is a sham being Hamas is really an ethnic-based terrorist group whose unwavering goal is the genocide of the Jewish people and the eradication of the state of Israel.
