Israeli security forces may have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity when they killed 189 Palestinians and wounded more than 6,100 people during weekly border protests in Gaza last year, U.N. investigators said today.
An independent panel, led by legal expert Santiago Canton, said it believes members of the Israeli security forces killed and gravely injured civilians who were “neither directly participating in hostilities nor posing an imminent threat.” Canton said: “Some of these violations may constitute war crimes or crimes against humanity and must be immediately investigated by Israel.”
Protests have been held at the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip since last year, calling for the easing of an Israeli blockade. The report says: “The Israeli security forces killed and maimed Palestinian demonstrators who did not pose an imminent threat of death or serious injury to others when they were shot, nor were they directly participating in hostilities.” In a statement, acting Foreign Minister Israel Katz dismissed the report’s conclusions as “absurd” and said they were “another hostile, mendacious, and slanted report against the State of Israel.” Read more.

why do we care what the disunited nations says? no one listens to them anyway
I absolutely agree that they should face justice for what they’ve done. Here are a few helpful suggestions of the justice they should receive:
-A nice dinner in their honor.
-A plaque to hang on the wall thanking them for their actions.
-A monetary award.
-Reduced tuition for their kids.
-Free unlimited shawarma! (OK, maybe this is too generous.)
The UN should spend a few weeks at the Gaza border being bombarded with fire balloons etc. Then let them retake the vote.
Israel and the US should pull out of the UN. they both derive zero benefits from belonging. only costs
well if we let israel (via shabak and satmar) condemn the settlers, then the international dopes will condemn israel for the same reoson.
simple?
duh!
