"NEW YORK: UN experts on Monday expressed alarm over “credible allegations of egregious human rights violations” against Palestinian women and girls in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
They are being arbitrarily executed, arbitrarily detained, raped or threatened with sexual violence, the experts said, adding that these alleged acts may constitute “grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, and amount to serious crimes under international criminal law that could be prosecuted under the Rome Statute.”
They called for the perpetrators to be held accountable, and for victims’ families to receive “full redress and justice.” "
It’s so sad that a group considering themselves religious should do these things. I admit, I don’t know much about the Jewish teachings, but thought that they related to the Old Testament, which is quite rough, from what I remember.
Just this morning I heard someone say that they still feel that Israel should be supported as the other side were terrorists.
It seems that Israel have all the power in the situation though and have had for some time, or am I missing something?
"Israel should be supported as the other side were terrorists."! Who is kidding whom. They have been undertaking genocidal atrocities on yhe palestinians since 1948 when the Naqba occurred displacing at least 375,000 Arabs in Palestine to say nothing of thousands of murders.
