Desmond Tutu working on behalf of the UN says that Israel is guilty of a war crime for shelling Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip in November 2006. The arabs claim that nineteen people died. The attack “took lives, inflicted horrendous physical and mental injuries, tore families apart, destroyed homes, took away livelihoods and traumatized a population,” Archbishop Desmond Tutu told reporters in Geneva late on Thursday. “Faced with this absence of a well-founded explanation from the Israeli military, the mission has to conclude that there is a possibility that the shelling of Beit Hanoun constituted a war crime,” he stated. “Nineteen civilians [including seven children] were killed and many more injured yet no verifiable explanation has been offered, no independent, impartial and transparent investigation has been held, no one has been held to account,” Tutu said. “Accountability involves providing a remedy and redress for victims,” he added. “To date, neither has been forthcoming from Israel."
The report acknowledges that the shelling took place in responce to rockets being fired into Israel daily from that location. The Israeli's decided that enough was enough and hit back. It does not matter to the UN that the arabs fire these rockets from places around civilians. It is a win-win situation for the muslims. They call the dead martyrs and celebrate their deaths and at the same time condem Israel for killing their women and children. The rest of the world agrees with the arabs and condem Israel too. These deaths are the fault of the muslims waging jihad agains Israel. What they need to do is just kill all the arabs and take back the Gaza for the Jews.
