Gaza’s Hamas rulers are rejecting a United Nations report that its fighters may have committed war crimes.
Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said Monday that its rockets and mortars were aimed at Israeli military sites, not at civilians.

Hamad criticized the U.N. investigators for what he said was a false balance between victims and killers.
The report found that both Israel and Palestinian militant groups may have committed war crimes during the conflict last July.

More than 2,200 Palestinians, including hundreds of civilians, were killed during the fighting, according to U.N. and Palestinian officials, while 73 people, including six civilians, died on the Israeli side.

      ‘Justice’ in the lands over there is simply a slug of lead. (even if falling into a head)

    “Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said Monday that its rockets and mortars were aimed at Israeli military sites, not at civilians.”, but Hamas fired Rockets at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, a civilian Airport and American passengers sue Hamas for rockets on Ben-Gurion Airport.

      How the hell does Israel get a direct flight by Air CAN?? To do Lebanon, it was Paris or London stops.
      (maybe the lack of volume …)

    No matter how I wish that the Palestinians were united as one front, the fact remains that the resistance in Gaza has more decency and human dignity than the brutal and barbaric Zionist Jewish terrorist bands of the Begin-led Irgun and the Shamir-led STERN Gang who on April 9, 1948 perpetrated the massacre of Deir Yassin by gunning down and knife-stabbing pregnant women bellies which resulted in the deaths of 254 Women, children, and elderly people, as the men of the village were absent working in Jerusalem.

        Yes and this is recorded by Larry Collins book,/O! Jerusalem:/”the Zionist Jewish female members of IRGUN and Stern Gang terrorist groups matched the savagery of their male counterparts. Bit by bit, Deir Yassin was submerged in a hell of screams, exploding grenades, the stench of blood, gunpowder and smoke. Its Zionist Jewish assailants killed, they looted, and finally they raped. Some of the terrorists were so anxious to get the women’s earrings they ripped the ears to pull them faster…” This is the nobility of Zionism. No Arab leader, and there are no real, honest, dedicated one since President Nasser, had been able to accept settlement of the 1948 war. Sadat did the grave mistake and he paid for it with his life. No other power has the right to decide the Palestinians right of return and right for self determination except the Palestinians themselves, and this is sacredly not negotiable.

      Israel responds to Gaza war report: UNHRC has ‘singular obsession with Israel’ Bennett: Report stained with blood for allowing murder of Jews; Netanyahu: Report biased, incites and foments against Israel.

    The official representative of the Hamas leadership in Gaza, Salah al-Bardauil said that the report of the UN Commission on the events in Gaza in the summer of 2014, can be considered a “victory of the Falestinian people,” as it condemned actions of the Israeli army

    “Maan” quoted French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, according to which the head of the Falestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas promised in conversation with him, held recently in Ramallla that the composition of the new Falestinian government will include only people who condemn the violence, recognize Israel and Middle East Quartet principles to resolve the conflict. According to Fabius, it eliminates ministers appointing from representatives of Hamas

      No. Israel must recognize Palestinians before Palestinians recognize Israel, who commands Palestinians to recognized Israel with no pre-conditions and no borders

    “The Human Rights Council of the United Nations possessed by Israel. It took more anti-Israel resolutions than against Syria, North Korea and Iran together. In fact, it made more anti-Israel resolutions than against all the countries of the world combined.
    Therefore, Israel believes the report is biased and inadequate, and calls for every honest observer to do the same. Such
    observers have recently conducted their own investigation of
    actions of Israel in the course of the operation in Gaza Strip. Among them were generals from US and NATO. They
    concluded that Israel’s actions not only meet the highest standards of
    international law, but exceeded any standards”, stressed Netanyahu
