UNHRC: Palestinian "armed groups continuously violated international law"

[mohsen]

I see some part of Gaza in white patches in the 2010 map, didn't Israel vacated whole of Gaza?

destroying Palestinian homes and farms is Israel's daily habit.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

resisting someone who bombs your home and controls every aspect of your life isn't violating any laws --at least from my more libertarian perspective

attacking civilians yes -- but which side sees more dead civilians

 

[Solomon2]

The report avoids the inflammatory label, but it describes enough to indict Hamas leaders and individual combatants for war crimes by an international tribunal. How many Pakistanis are prepared to support this?

Can you tell me riddle of those white patches in Gaza. I am expecting a logic.

You're falling for mohsen's distraction: ignoring the implications of the report as it concerns Iran and Hamas in favor of us making fun of his "facts".

good luck finding any!

actually the world should support Hamas, since it was democratically chosen by Palestinian constituents in Gaza Strip


(ironically - a tool originally supported by israel to counter the PLO )

Which is why Palestinian resistance to their own terrorist leaders should be encouraged, yes?

attacking civilians yes -- but which side sees more dead civilians

The report suggests that it was the Palestinians attempting to terrorize the Israelis and that the Israeli response didn't terrorize the Palestinians so much as dishearten them:

...many, if not the vast majority of the Palestinian attacks on Israel constituted indiscriminate attacks. Such attacks violate international humanitarian law. Most rockets fired by the armed groups did not seem to be directed at a specific military objective. Furthermore, many Palestinian armed groups directly and indirectly indicated their determination to – and took responsibility for – attacks on Israeli civilians or large population centres in Israel. Such acts clearly violate international humanitarian law, namely the principle of distinction. In addition, such acts could also have the aim of spreading terror among the civilian population, which would further violate international humanitarian law...

...Civilians reported that [some of] their children were traumatized and suffered psychological impacts, which manifested themselves in bedwetting, thumb-sucking, nightmares, and an acute sense of insecurity...A sense of disempowerment prevailed among [Palestinian] parents, with many reporting feeling devastated...

actually the world should support Hamas, since it was democratically chosen by Palestinian constituents in Gaza Strip

Which promptly decided to overthrow democracy and its separation-of-powers as soon as it could. You don't have a democracy when it's one-man-one-vote-once.

Hamas was originally a charitable organization. If you give a man a fish, are you guilty forever after for whatever crime he commits?

 

[Solomon2]

AZ says no Pakistani will step forward to denounce Hamas for violating international humanitarian law. Does that mean that no Muslim, however bad he is, is supposed to be criticized whenever he commits a crime against a non-Muslim in a non-Muslim country?

does it mean that indigenous people should be up-rooted from their homes? i'm confused as to why you are even bringing up the religious component

even in "Christian Europe" there are many circles calling for an end to the siege of Palestine

 

[theone-neo]

ther will be no palestine in 10 year...

Who is indigenous? Many Pallys migrated from Egypt and Syria into the region called Palestine.

destroying Palestinian homes and farms is Israel's daily habit.

You mean this should only be Hamas daily habbit?

Hamas the government of Gaza have started destroying Palestinian homes in the Gaza strip and making the families homeless. In Gaza, around 20 families have had their homes demolished as part of a plan to regulate housing in the strip.

Hamas destroys dozens of homes in Gaza - Israel News, Ynetnews

Hamas police wielding clubs beat and pushed residents out of dozens of homes in the southern Gaza town of Rafah on Sunday before knocking the buildings down with bulldozers, residents said.

Gaza's militant Hamas rulers said the homes were built illegally on government land. Newly homeless residents were furious over Palestinians on bulldozers razing Palestinian homes.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

well clearly the last century saw lots of migrations to that area but i think it's fair to say that "Palestinian Arabs" were there before Eastern Europeans, Russians and Ethiopians etc. came (more of a recent phenomenon)

just saying

I know it, Hamas started it otherwise it the Iron dome that protected Israel. When I see the Palestinians, all of them have high standard of living with a proper housing, should we need to make ourselves crazy for them when we ourselves have acute poverty and homeless people in our part of the world.

Yep... Tells you the level of their stupidity.
