GENEVA - United Nations investigators said on Thursday Israeli security forces may have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in killing 189 Palestinians and wounding more than 6,100 at weekly protests in Gaza last year.

“The Israeli security forces killed and maimed Palestinian demonstrators who did not pose an imminent threat of death or serious injury to others when they were shot, nor were they directly participating in hostilities,” it said in its report.In a statement, acting Foreign Minister Israel Katz called it “another hostile, mendacious and slanted report against the State of Israel ...

The latest report, covering the period from March 30-December 31 2018, to the U.N. Human Rights Council was based on hundreds of interviews with victims and witnesses, as well as medical records, video and drone footage, and photographs. The panel, led by Argentine legal expert Santiago Canton, said individual members of the Israeli security forces killed and gravely injured civilians who were “neither directly participating in hostilities nor posing an imminent threat”.

When the UN votes in favour of Israel, Israel's are like : this an amazing ORG. When it votes against and condoms Israeli actions and atrocities, Israel : get red of this B.S Org. True story !

Watch Israeli lapdog Pence and Bolton come rushing in condemning U.N. shortly.

Be prepared to be called 'anti-semites.' SOP when it comes to criticizing Israel.

The idf and netanyahu are guilty of warcrimes in Gaza and the westbank. ICC4israel warcriminals

DartmouthCommon they should, but they haven't faced justice for anything they've done, so why should anything change now?

I find it a bit one-sided when people complain about this democratic country in blue, when currently the Prince of that other country in green says it’s okay for the other country in red to redistribute the religious beliefs of it’s muslim citizens to a more handy-communist way.

As long as Hamas exists no peace is going to be seen. The UN is hypocrite as always...

Not just security forces but Israel in general should face sanctions for crimes against humanity. Not to mention the should be held accountable for refusing to upheld the international treaties on nuclear weapons.... A countries where destroyed by Americans for a lot less.

Security force bosses incl Defense minister & Netanyahu too should be prosecuted despite USG objections.

Be carefully Reuters if you say truth to power on Israel you WILL be called an anti-semite

I support that because I don't see why they don't want to live in peace and the PM is not helping matters at all. Well, trump is the spark to this madness

So firing rockets into civilians is not a war crime. Always Israels fault with the media

,UN hypocrisy.

This is a few decades late.

UN you are toothless. Palestine 🇵🇸 has to get help with equal and opposite fire power. This playing nice is nothing but a sham and a time waster for Israel to eradicate the Palestinians. If they are going to be murders let us apply an eye for an eye. Enough of this nonsense.

Террористы-арабы- свиньи

more leftist un-crap

No matter what is said, will USA allow any prosecution of Israel? Till the veto power exists, fairness & justice will remain a concept only on paper and not reality. Israel has gotten away with everything coz of America

You must be joking!! Israel is above the international law with backing of America and some western countries 🙈🙈

lol the UN has become the league of nations... nobody takes it seriously anymore because its full of corruption and dictators and only hates jews!

Yes.

Terrorist are stabing inocent people in Israel .And the Gaza border is use tu infiltrate terrorist .......no crime in defending borders

But they won’t

UN has no mouth, live Israel alone they defend them selfs no talk.

Strange manipulative pic..

May Allah destroy them too

Justice should be served.

U.N.: 'The spirit of Judas!'. Israel is forever!

ICC UN Is investigating Israeli crimes against humanity considered 'anti-semitic'? Why is the UN and ICC refusing to comment yet is happy to do so for the ChagaIslands? Yes or No. Are you going to investigate these atrocities?
