In effort not to offend anyone important
Navi Pillay, the international body’s high commissioner for human rights, pronounced that maybe, possibly the Israeli Army's continuing attacks on Palestinians may be war crimes.
The killing of Gazan civilians and children in Israeli airstrikes may amount to war crimes, the U.N.’s top human rights official warned Wednesday amid a backdrop of rising casualties and international efforts to forge a cease-fire.Sometime after all the bodies are buried and the rest of the world is comfortably forgetting the Israeli crimes, there will be an inquiry. Exoneration is an odds on favorite.
Navi Pillay, the international body’s high commissioner for human rights, told an emergency debate on the crisis that there was “a strong possibility that international law had been violated” during the weeks-long conflict, citing the shelling of homes and hospitals in the coastal enclave. She also condemned the indiscriminate firing of rockets and mortars into Israel by Palestinian fighters. The U.N. Human Rights Council later agreed to launch an independent inquiry into allegations that international law had been violated during the conflict.
