Israel drops Gaza war crimes investigation

I’m going to begin with an investigation carried out by the Guardian. Clancy Chassay asks why Israeli drones with optics capable of seeing the colour of a target’s clothes killed so many Palestinian civilians during the recent Gaza invasion. The video is shown below:

This is further evidence of the Israelis attacking innocent Palestinian civilians and yet they continue to deny what is obviously the truth. In an earlier post, I talked about the damaging testimonies of Israeli soldiers, confirming that war crimes were carried out. I did mention it would be interesting to see how Israel spin their way out of this one, and surprise, they have attempted.

Israel have closed the Gaza war crimes inquiry, no surprises there, the military invesgiating the military. The invesgiation by Israel concluded that the aforementioned soldiers were just relaying rumours and “hearsay”. So that’s it, an 11 day invesgation into the alleged human rights violations has ended. I was expecting a more convincing investigation however.

Confirmation of Israel’s terrorist acts

The end of the 22 day war massacre by Israel left over 1,300 Palestinians dead, around a third of which were children. Israel claimed throughout this operation that it was not targetting civilians, but of course, the intellectuals amongst us knew better. I’m sure the children throwing stones was a huge risk for the Israeli army.

Most are aware of my views on Zionism, but my strong views against Israel is not because they are killing my fellow Muslims, it is far beyond that. It is the inhumanity which gets me.

You may be wondering what I mean by ‘Confirmation of Israel’s terrorist acts’ and where. Well, I came across a couple of news articles which may interest you:

It will be interesting to see how Israel try to spin their way out of this one, no doubt their crimes will remain unpunished.
