A short piece on the UN Human Rights Council report on Israel's firing on unarmed protesters.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
Every Friday, for months now, Palestinian protesters have rallied near the Gaza border to protest the Israeli blockade. Every Friday, Israel shoots a large number of people. The investigation ruled that there are "reasonable grounds" to believe Israel violated international law.
The report noted that 154 out of 183 people killed by Israel in that time were entirely unarmed. They noted Israel had repeatedly, deliberately shot children and journalists, as well as disabled protesters. International law, needless to say, frowns upon those sorts of deliberate killings.
