Netanyahu calls human rights forum decision a ‘travesty’; US envoy says it lacks ‘balance’ and may undermine ceasefire efforts.

The UN Human Rights Council on Wednesday launched a probe into the conflict in Gaza, backing calls by the Palestinians to hold Israel to account despite fierce opposition from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahu’s media office slammed the decision as a “travesty” that ignored human rights violations by Hamas terrorists. “This investigation by a kangaroo court is a foregone conclusion,” his office said.

The United States was the sole member to vote against. The 17 abstentions were by the council’s European members, plus Japan and South Korea.

Manor, the Israeli ambassador, vowed that Israel would “destroy” Hamas’s military infrastructure.

“However, the Gaza residents are not our enemies. Israel is fully committed to international law,” he said.

The USA is the ONLY MEMBER to vote against it. And furthermore, as Israel constantly states and does, it says that those Palestinians in Gaza are NOT the enemy, despite the false accusations by Israel’s enemies that they are. Israel makes it abundantly clear that it’s Hamas that they are after and NOT Palestinian civilians. As the Israeli Ambassador says, Israel abides by International Law (and thus does NOT commit war crimes)!

you need to get fully informed

You are correct, a little knowledge is dangerous thing. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, son. So, is your source a bunch of articles, or have you actually been to Israel? Got friends or family there? Which side?

I have personal friends in the IDF in Gaza right now. I have family that has spent time in bomb shelters in Sdrot because of rockets from Gaza. I have family that has visited the so-called "UN humanitarian aid" sites in Israel and Gaza. Sorry, "humanitarian aid" through the UN and US is used for terror. Where do you think all the cement for the terror tunnels comes from?

... LOL ... look at my Freeper page, the answer should be obvious, which is no ...

I’m a very long-time supporter of Israel, going back over 50 years, and I constantly dispel the FALSE ACCUSATIONS that Israel targets Palestinian civilians, which Israel itself constantly fights against, including just yesterday in the UN Human Rights Council, quoted above.

If you want to post documented news articles from whatever reliable news agency you choose, in Israel or elsewhere, please do so and show where the documented information in any of these already-posted articles is incorrect. That’s what we do here on Free Republic.

We don’t depend on an “electronic personality” who could be sitting in Mama’s basement (as you very well could be) but from reliable and documented news sources. That’s the entire purpose of the “posting of articles” on Free Republic ... you see ... :-) ...

I comment in support of what Israel itself says, and against the propaganda that Hamas disseminates, that Israel targets Palestinian civilians. Israel goes all over the world to let everyone know that the Palestinians are not their enemies, but Hamas is.

There are people who want to go against what Israel maintains and has said, and those posters (and other people) want to make the Palestinian civilians the enemy to kill or forcefully remove. Israel doesn’t do that and does not intend to do that.
