Israeli troops violated medical ethics says another rights group
http://www.reuters.com/article/middleeastC...

Israel really thinks it will get away with murder. Every day there are more and more rights groups finishing their investigations into Israels inhumane and bloody attack on Gaza which resulted in the killing of many innocent children and people.

One thing is clear. Israel WILL NOT get away with this, there are just too many rights groups and governments that clearly state their findings that Israel has committe4d some of the most appalling war crimes this century.

Here is the story:

An Israeli human rights group said on Monday the military violated medical ethics codes during its Gaza offensive, the latest accusation against the conduct in combat of Israel's military.

Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHR) described alleged incidents which "reveal that not only did the (military) not evacuate besieged and wounded families, it also prevented Palestinian (medical) teams from reaching the wounded".

PHR's report followed accusations by other human rights groups and Palestinians that Israel's actions during the 22-day offensive in the Palestinian coastal enclave, controlled by the Islamist Hamas group, warranted war crimes investigations.

The Israeli military said the High Court had dismissed a petition PHR lodged on Jan. 19, a day after the offensive ended, and that the allegations were still being investigated.

PHR quoted figures issued by the World Health Organisation which showed 16 Palestinian medical personnel were killed by Israeli fire during the offensive and that 25 were wounded while performing their duties.

Zvi Bentwich, a PHR board member, said this was "a reflection of what we consider unclear orders from above to the soldier on the field". He said the Israeli military was "almost indiscriminately shooting at such teams".

PHR said Israeli forces attacked 34 medical care facilities, including eight hospitals during the assault that Israel waged with the declared aim of halting cross-border rocket fire.

UN Experts say Israel Gaza Offensive a "WAR CRIME"
http://www.agi.it/world/news/200903231324-...

The Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip at the end of December was "a war crime". This is the conclusion that was reached by the team of experts from the UN Commission for Human Rights in Geneva. This is not the first time that the commission has expressed serious condemnation of Israel. The assumption from which work by the group led by Richard Falk began is that if "it is not possible to distinguish between civil and military objectives, starting the operation is (an action) that is totally illegal and would seem to constitute a war crime of the greatest magnitude under international law", Falk maintained. According to Falk, "on the basis of preliminary evidence available, there is reason to reach this conclusion" in the case of the offensive on Gaza in which densely populated areas were hit. The Israelis started operations on 27 December 2008 in response to the launching of rockets from the coastal enclave and concluded operations on 17 January. The unofficial estimate of victims is 1,300 Palestinians - amongst whom hundreds of civilians - and about 20 Israelis.

Imagine a country that appoints someone who has been found guilty of striking a 12-year-old boy to be its foreign minister. The person in question is also under investigation for money-laundering, fraud and breach of trust; in addition, he was a bona fide member of an outlawed racist party and currently leads a political party that espouses fascist ideas. On top of all this, he does not even reside in the country he has been chosen to represent.

Even though such a portrayal may appear completely outlandish, Israel's new foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, actually fits the above depiction to the letter.

• In 2001, following his own confession, Lieberman was found guilty of beating a 12-year-old boy. As part of a plea bargain, Lieberman was fined 17,500 shekels and had to promise never to hit young children again.

• In 2004, Lieberman's 21-year-old daughter Michal set up a consulting firm, which received 11m shekels from anonymous overseas sources. Lieberman, according to the police, received more than a 2.1m-shekel salary from the company for two years of employment. In addition, according to an investigation by Haaretz, he allegedly received additional severance pay – amounting to hundreds of thousands of shekels – in 2006 and 2007, while he was minister of strategic affairs and deputy prime minister. According to Israeli law, this is illegal.

• Lieberman is an ex-member of Meir Kahane's party, Kach, which was outlawed due to its blatantly racist platform. Moreover, his views towards Arabs do not appear to have changed over the years. In 2003, when reacting to a commitment made by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to give amnesty to approximately 350 Palestinian prisoners, Lieberman declared that, as minis
