UN investigators say that 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.

Israel rejected the report, which was released Thursday, as "hostile, mendacious and slanted."

"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 ...

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet should share the findings with the International Criminal Court , it said. The Hague-based court opened a preliminary investigation into allegations of Israeli human rights abuses on Palestinian territory in 2015. 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".

Nobody was forced to get to the border! IDF made clear the days before that there will be deadly force against those who try to pass! IDF, thanks for your service!

MrDaveHudson Duh! We have footage. FreePalestine

Bullshit

This is state border. Arabs starts fighting. IDF will respond. Always.

What horsecrap

🤬💀

The UN is so transparent, anything US wants UN drags down falsifies shit! Get rid of UN!

The UN is run by anti-Semites, and only investigates Israel. They continually call Israel defending itself “war crimes”. They have made themselves illegitimate

Right, because it's always Israel's fault. Learn to code, NBC.

Toot2006Sal Oh, the day Israel was showing off for Ivanka, right?

AngeleStar11 Another reason to defund our support for UN

May have? Well guilty then!

U DISGUST ME..NBC..FOR CENTURIES ISLAM HAS ATTACKED TOTURED.BURNED PEOPLE ALIVE..BEHEADINGS..RAPE..HELL.. ISLAM IS. STILL DOING THIS..YU HAVE SUNKED TO A NEW LOW..I THOUGHT ATTACKING OUR PRESIDENT WAS BAD..

Israel has a right to self defense. That’s all this is. FakeNews

Bullsh*t

Hmm..wonder who's side you are on?!!

Because the UN and it's Arab Members has such a sterling reputation when it comes to abiding by their own laws and rules.

They have a right to self-defense. I would have rather they use dummie bullets to deter the wall climbers. Yes, the response is brutal. Yet, the daily assaults, prolonged attacks never stop. This stress would cause anyone to over react. Jerusalem is Israel's Capital forever.

There’s no ‘May’ about it. The words are ‘DID’ & still DO IsraeliButchers

Sure... blame the Israelis protecting their border. Hamas will keep encouraging the demonstrations and more people will die. Nothing will change. OR... you could condemn Hamas for organizing these things and putting civilians in harms way. Just a thought.

Because protecting your borders from people throwing Molotov cocktails is a crime against humanity. SMH

List of UN investigations into Palestinian/Arab war crimes, please Wot? There are none?...Why?

Nah, it was sanctioned by the government... 👌

May have

189 in last year ? They probably kill more than that in a week.

UN are the killers here as they refuse to protect innocent people in Israel
