UNRWA and Humanitarian Coordinator Declare Emergency In Gaza Strip

[Taz]

Targeting civilians and civilian houses is a war crime made unlawful by The Fourth Geneva Convention. It was WWII abuses that led to these laws coming into effect.

What nonsense keeps spewing from the mouth of the ignorant Zionist.

We see the UN repeat in its reports , two reports were posted, the cause of the emergency.in Gaza, Israel's airstrikes on residential facilities in Gaza.

From the OP:

"UNRWA further states it is the targeting and destruction of residential properties in*Gaza*which is the main cause of civilian casualties."

So what if houses are destroyed, carpet bombing cities worked well in WWII with Germany and Japan, which are now our allies.

Like anyone cares about war crimes, geez, shooting missiles into cities by Hamas seems pretty war crime-ish, and do they care?

for a bit of balanced perspective.

so how many rockets out of gaza vs how many dead palestinian terrorists and civilians?

OK, Aris, Hamas gave 1 hour advance notice of intent to target Tel Aviv so civilians could take cover.

Comment?

Hamas are a bunch of pussies who can't even fight properly, so they attack civilians. Bunch of weenies.

Here, Btselem representative addresses the fact the airstrikes on homes of Hamas members are unlawful.

What's illegal about bombing terrorists homes. They're just as much fair game as Israeli civilians you claim are fair game. Tit for Tat. A head for an eye.

Tel Aviv is a civilian city.

They weren't attacking anyone, until Israel provoked them.

Once those three Israeli kids had died, and the IDF started hammering Hamas positions...

Hamas foolishly began a concentrated rocket barrage, in retaliation...

Rather than sitting it out, and asking for terms, and refraining from further rocket launches...

Now they're paying a price, dozens of times higher than what they would have paid, if they would have just hunkered down and taken the hammering, and then let it go...

I understand the emotion behind firing-back...

I merely question the wisdom of firing back, versus utilizing great restraint, in the face of such overwhelming odds...

Still, few people would accuse the Palestinians (and Hamas, in particular) of having a surplus supply of intelligence, so, what the hell...

Amazed that you would make a statement like that with the word "learn" in it....
Gaza is self-governing. Can't get along with Israel --- has even been to war with PALESTINIANS in the West Bank government under Abbas.. There MAY be blockades and access restrictions -- but Israel hasn't OCCUPIED Gaza for many years.. LEARN....

You need to learn what occupational law has to say about the concept of "effective control", which blows your argument out of the water.

In a fair election --- HAMAS would probably be gone. And THAT is also NOT the fault of Israel or Zionists.. Is it??
If Gaza is "currently occupied" is it by the TERRORISTS that dont give a shit about a normal life or infrastructure or peace..

Hamas won a fair and democratic election.

"effective control" eh?? Tell me about the Israeli police and military that have jurisdiction in Gaza - and their day to day operations. It's only in times like this that any "effective control" is exercised within the borders of Gaza. As far as blockades go -- Israel supplies electricity and water to large parts of the district. Allows any NON-military commerce in and out of the strip.. We had 10 times the "effective control" over Iraq for 12 yrs when we CLEARED their skies and stop them from selling oil..

Hamas won a WAR with Fatah to take control of the Gaza strip.. Even the West Bank Palis don't recognize Hamas as legimate leadership of the district. When 70% of Palis are polled and say they don't sanction rocket attacks and the Hamas govt has an International reputation for kidnapping,, torture and unlawful detention --- you best not gripe about the plight of Gazans because of the actions of Israel.. It's THEIR decision to pick a government and representation.. And elections there are currently meaningless. Especially in the eyes of Fatah and the West Bank representatives.

One problem as it also says that any civilian that assists in the war effort is henceforth no longer a protected person but a member of the militia. The Geneva conventions are very clear on this.

Can you demonstrate that the few dozen people killed in Gaza so far were aiding combatants, Phoenall? Or are you just celebrating the deaths of civilians?

Gaza is governed by Hamas.. Where is the military leadership that is ordering the rocket attacks? Where are the CONTRACTS from Hamas govt to build those rockets? Where is the Army of Gaza? You got a picture of their military facilities?

What you are oblivious to is that Gazans have chosen a leadership or are VICTIMS of a leadership that doesn't give a shit about them or military formalities or contracts or any of the WESTERN notions of warfare under the Geneva Convention or subsequent antiquated documents. The Gaza strip is run like the Mexican Drug lords run the cartels. No military assets, no complicated chain of command.. There are NO DISTINCTIONS between the Defenders of Gaza and civilians..

There are however non-combatants.. And they have been given ample warning to leave.. Even tho APPARENTLY Hamas has ordered them to stay. They are disobeying their own government in LARGE NUMBERS.. That tells you a bit about WHO is victimizing them right now..

This is very obviously phony. There is no funeral. Where are the mourners? The pall bearers are merely practicing. Leave it to Israel to trump stuff up.

Please use whatever negligible analytic skills you may possess prior to publishing garbage like this again.

Oh, ok, well you explain that so well that you just landed the contract to explain it to the next 500 children killed by indiscriminate Israeli attacks on civilian targets.

Once those three Israeli kids had died, and the IDF started hammering Hamas positions...

Which begs the question, why are they hammering Hamas, when Hamas had nothing to do with the 3 teens deaths?

Hamas foolishly began a concentrated rocket barrage, in retaliation...

Rather than sitting it out, and asking for terms, and refraining from further rocket launches...

Now they're paying a price, dozens of times higher than what they would have paid, if they would have just hunkered down and taken the hammering, and then let it go...

Who in their right mind, would just stand there and let someone beat on them?

Why is Israel attacking a helpless population?

Clowning around is btselem's occupation, of course.

Btselem keeps Israel honest.

Betselem are a bunch of filthy liars.

We won't forget how they stages price tags and tried to free Islamic killers.

Do you understand just how foolish you look trying to deny hamass does this sort of thing? They get caught doing it constantly.

When the alternative is to 'take it', and thereby avoid a beating certain to be 100 times worse? I dunno.

...Why is Israel attacking a helpless population?

Israel is not attacking a helpless population.

Israel is counterattacking a neighboring hostile power.

Israel even goes so far - routinely - so as to notify civilians prior to a counterstrike.

Gazans need to put a muzzle on their mad-dog militias.

Until they do, these episodes of hammering by the IDF will continue.

They've exposed some pretty filthy stories - such as the treatment of Palestinian children when arreseted and in the justice system.

They keep Israel honest - those things and others like them would have stayed covered up. Does that make Israel a bunch of filthy liars too?

 

[Taz]

Hamas are a bunch of pussies who can't even fight properly, so they attack civilians. Bunch of weenies.

So you agree Hamas attacks civilians?

 

[Lipush]

When you lose the tactic of LIES to expose other "lies", Coyote, then YOU'RE the one to be called wicked.

They lost their argument of "honesty" when they started STAGING price tags.

When you start faking once, and the world buys it, you're destined to repeat it. And we don't know how many of the things they've "exposed" they themselves staged.

So yeah, Betselem with honesty? not so much.

Liars like the ones they look up to, is more accurate.

Denials and dismissals like that are what give you away.. Being the obvious tool of the tyrannical govt of Gaza --- you cannot hide the fact that you don't give a shit about Pali human rights or their ability to live and prosper -- you just hate Jews and Israel.. And the PEOPLE involved are just political peripheral damage to you..

Gaza: Arbitrary Arrests, Torture, Unfair Trials
Criminal Justice Reforms Urgently Needed

OCTOBER 3, 2012
(Gaza City) – Palestinians face serious abuses in the Hamas criminal justice system, including arbitrary arrest, incommunicado detention, torture, and unfair trials. Since it took control of Gaza in 2007, Hamas has executed at least three men convicted on the basis of “confessions” apparently obtained under torture.

The 43-page report, “Abusive System: Criminal Justice in Gaza,” documents extensive violations by Hamas security services, including warrantless arrests, failure to inform families promptly of detainees’ whereabouts, and subjecting detainees to torture. It also documents violations of detainees’ rights by prosecutors and courts. Military courts frequently try civilians, in violation of international law. Prosecutors often deny detainees access to a lawyer, and courts have failed to uphold detainees’ due process rights in cases of warrantless arrest and abusive interrogations, Human Rights Watch found.

Show of hands here..

1) Who believes that the residents of Gaza deserve better treatment?
2) Who believes that Hamas leads them by their own choice?
3) Who believes that the government of Gaza gives a fart about the safety and
prosperity of its people?

Hamas are the civilians' worst enemy.
