GENEVA/JERUSALEM - 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. “The International Criminal Court should act immediately and open a probe into the crimes conducted ,” he said in a statement.
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.U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet should share their findings with the ICC, the investigators said in the report.
“Our investigation found that the demonstrators were overwhelmingly unarmed even if they were not at all times peaceful,” he told a news briefing. “We found that one person, a double amputee, was shot and killed as he sat in his wheelchair. On two separate days, two people visibly walking on crutches, were shot in the head. They were killed,” she added.Israel says its forces have at times come under gun or grenade attacks during the protests.
Ouch does not look good for Israel 😲
LiyaWarana I find it difficult to distinguish between the Nazis and the Israelis. I find it difficult understanding the meaning of anti-semitism. I find it difficult to understand that the most powerful nation in the world supports the incarceration of others via Israel.
And I say U.N. decision makers must face justice for inciting Gaza violence.
This is disgusting. The 'HRC' is the worst misnomer, they are a bad joke. The skew of their 'findings' is, as always, blatantly anti-Israel. I am appalled.
Arab_Money_513 Hamas is paying young kids to go to the front lines. WhY DONT YOU have HAMAS PAY FOR CHILD ABUSE!!
Arab_Money_513 WHY DONT YOU TELL THE OTHER SIDE... The Terror OF PALESTINIANS
Watch the documentary “5 Broken Cameras”. The Israeli army has killed peaceful protesters before and gotten away with it. Both sides need to try harder to find peace. Killing unarmed civilians is not the path forward. Those responsible must be held accountable.
DNC (also known as socialists) we the American people are much smarter than you think and that's why we have President Trump as our great American president!
UN need to act show that they have no bias when it comes to dealing with other nations committing such atrocities. Severe sanctions and possibly military action may be required, as has been with other countries. All friends of Israel need to condemn apply appropriate pressure.
UN full of cowardly people. New World Order, not today, thank you Trump.
Oh sure “protest” hey poofters commenting why not go and hug some protesters on their almost daily violent rampages c’mon go for it
I say Battle Royale. Winner takes all. These two won’t stop til the other is gone anyways.
UN is only an anti Israel group no use but to try to take power
UN is an Islamic anti-semitism organization. I am Middle Eastern btw
Well maybe UN isn’t seeing live feed videos which clearly show Protesters shooting projectiles at Israeli police and border? Hello! DOUBLE STANDARDS MUCH? GodHelpUsAll ✝️🙏🇺🇸 🇮🇱
When will come justice?
Lies, Peaceful Israel welcomes Palestinian People who want to escape This brutal Regime netanyahu, HananyaNaftali
Yes the idea supported by me
ggpepperdash
They are not murderers like the Nazis. The Nazis had poison ovens. The fascist racists they call Israelis employ cowardly snipers. Completely different kind of cowardly murderers.
In our religion we know that Israel will kill and they will be killed and it will repeat until the end of the world.
How about Venezuela?. Oh wait, the high commissioner of Humans Rights for the UN is mbachelet a confessed comunist grupie of the criminal Castro Brothers, anti-US and anti-Israel. She had stayed silent for years about the Venezuelan genocide carried out by Maduro
Everyone who studies this issue knows that Isreal has been unfairly treating Palestinians and continuing this conflict and preventing peace so that they can have the West Bank.
But crickets on the Palestinian terrorist?
Maybe dont have thousands of people storming the fence, shooting and throwing moletov cocktails, and you wont get shot.
Say it’s not true! the UN condemned Israel! That’s never happened before.
StageYaneu Is real like the US is a fucking mess
True agenda of Zionist regime to claim the lands of the Palestinian on a Historical lie, the Zionist has no regards to anything, historically they killed so many men’s of God & prophets they believe in deception the lust for money & conspiracies
Ugly actions could be taken only by ugly blood thirsty regimes, that Does gives any regards or respect to the whole Humanity, and consider themselves the chosen ones the rest merely flocks whom only purpose is to serve them , the world must stands against such evil
The true reality of Zionist regime
A civilised country should know having superior weapons doesn't mean using them!!
Dream On! The Israelis are The New Romans. They can plunder and pillage at will. Nothing will happen to them.
The fuck Hamas sending people to the border then Don’t wanna get shot for throwing grenades, pipe bombs, and arson kites? DONT ATTACK ISRAELI SOVEREIGN LAND. The UN is heavily anti zionist with its ironic Human Rights council consisting of the worst human rights abusers.
The un structure needs to change so veto powers are discontinued. Everyone must be treated equally under the law. Veto power corrupts that by political agendas.
Bad Israel don’t kill those innocent terrorists!
Palestinian has been using women and children as human shield and bomb carrier to attack Israeli boarder for years and UN doesn't say shit any it. This whole human right council has turned into a scam for legalising human trafficking instead of actual human rights issue.
Isn't it obvious? How is the UN just catching on?
We all know the UN is a body of tin horn dictators & hates Israel
Have people even bothered to look at the current members of the UNHRC. The fact that Saudi Arabia, China, Iraq, Egypt, Cuba and Tunisia are members is a joke. Any report written by this collection of serial human rights abusers is an insult to intelligence.
LOL sure! Like they’ve faced justices for the millions of other killings they’ve done. GOOD ONE!
Yea how about we have an investigation of UN “peace keepers “ and how many distribut of food without asking for sex. The UN is ran by nothing but a bunch of pop up dictators who hate country’s that refuse to bow there heads.
Hello? Human rights council? I’d like u to check OUR borders, love America
The word 'da' comes to mind! Zionists or hasidic jews, at the very top, are warcriminals .. it's on video from the past year, if not decades more. Not to mention many many people believe they were behind 9/11. US needs to stop giving them billions every year immediately
We can't speak against, boycott, or acknowledge Israel's lobby's dictate US policy.We turn a blind eye to its nukes and it's bombing of sovereign nations. Gaza was made a prison where basic needs are restricted, but we're hoping 4 justice 4 murder of protesting kids? Unlikely!
UN is no longer credible
Never mind the Saudis blowing up Yemenis.
Israel left Gaza Arabs democratically elected Hamas Hamas vows to destroy Israel
Wtf are you talkin about!! The palestinians weren't just protesting. They were firebombing Israelis with molotov cocktails. Its on video. The PLO uses Hamas to carry out crimes against Israel.
Nothing new Israel is always vilified for using self defense
End Israel and abolish the AIPAC Imperium.
It’s too late for this.
The UN?
The US will just veto.
UN has no authority or ability to stop war crimes against the Palestinians by Israel.
Pallywood!
Free Palestine
Isis rae el couldnt fight sleep.
Dear UN Please show us practically, how to defend ourselves from terrorists with peace. If you cant please shut up IStandWithIsrael UN UNHumanRights Israel IsraelBangalore IsraelinIndia
Israel will face justice...we all do.
Will OR should? Because I'll only believe it when I see it happening.
Well I mean...aren’t they constantly being attacked by them as well? 🤔
Get the US out of the UN and eject the UN from the US. Send it to Brussels; it can reside with the evil of the EU, so it is all together in one place. Europe will be under Islam in 30 years or less anyway thanks to France & Germany. MAGA AfD TRUMP2020 USA Brexit MBGA
Look who's talking! The UN 'Human Rights' Council includes some of the worst human rights violators on Earth. Looks like they only miss Assad, Maduro & Iran... LOL
That’s because Israel is a terror state.
And this is another reason why the UN is a joke.
True Colors of Israel Palestine HumanRights Terrorism TerrorStateIsrael
REALLY ? Ffs.
Wasn't this the same reason why the UK, USA, France warred Libya? Because of Muammar Al Gathafi allegedly mass shoot a bunch of protestors
The UN is corrupt
Eurovision is gonna be great
JoeNBC jpodhoretz is the UN anti-Semitic now too for being critical of Israel
Y'think?
How many people were shot who weren't actively part of a terrorist group attacking at the border?
I only wish Israel would have killed more. And for context , there is no such thing as “Independent Investigators” with the UN . Let’s not forget that Qatar , Saudi Arabia and others have rep’d their Human Rights Council. Reuter’s should be ashamed of how they framed this.
UN is pakistan shouldn't face justice for its nurturing terrorism and attacking india. Israel is only selectively should face justice! First UN shall define it's own injustice.
Is the UN going to get accused of antisemitism for blaming Israel?
Israel has every right to protect their people. Terrorist can attack them under the disguise of protest. World shall stand with israel. UN is biased in favour of idlamists.
Naaaaaaa ... never question Israel, thats anti-semitic! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ISRAEL is always right !!!
If they don't what is UN for , oppression with power is not peace never will be
Still no mention of Hamas' war crimes though...this would be mire palatable if everyone were charged with war crimes, Israel for their part and Hamas for theirs.....
No way it'll happen.
Yeah, just like ur going to go after all the Muslim countries that surrond Israel and make them face Justice for all the human rights acts they have committed aganist there own and Israeli ppl... I stand with Israel!
The only protesters killed by Israel were attacking them.
Billions of US tax dollars spent so the Israelis could behave like Nazis.
We stand with OUR friend ISRAEL.
Fucking UN
muttley1962 OF COURSE ITS GOVERNMENT SHOULD.
About time!
Sometimes i just wonder after looking at the atrocities which are being inflicted upon palestenians by Jewish state and think that ; Are they really the same jewish people who every year mourn on holocaust day by remembring the atrocities inflicted by the Racist Hitler?
U.N is saying the same thing since its own formation but SADLY there is 'US Veto' which always saves Israel...
LuvMultimedia Israel needs to vote them right wing Nazis out of office!
If you think IsraelTerrorist country hit like & rt IsraelWarCrimes TerroristIsrael
Israel has Right to defend it's sovereignity by whatever necessary measures.India is with Israel.UNHRC and UNSC are meaningless shit orgs.
Bullshit
.. and all Hamas guys and attackers are just innocent babies.
You’re early....
Wow the U.N. questioned Israel they must be anti-semites.
WTF If something isn’t done about the MSM Soon The US and Israel are doomed..
All the other countries around Israel are always commiting 'war crimes' and this is when the UN wants to intervene.
yes
😢😢😢
Israel just plays the anti-semitic card toward anyone who disagrees with them.
This Council just pissed off the people that own Europe, US and Canada and every place else
They should and so should the U.S. britain and all other imperialist countries
The rest of the world:
LIES.
Question is will the UN act to bring Israel to justice or do what it usually does, & kick the can in to the long grass? GroupPalestine BoycottEurovision2019
wbk
wbk
Yeah no shit 😏
It’s about time.
You guys ever get sick of this?
Now they will dismiss it as antisemitism.. duh.
No shit.
At what point does Palestine face war crimes for its repeated terrorist attacks on Israel?
Israel is the great Satan.
..biased hypocrite UN.. ..UNJihad..
MAHAMOSA Just one killing or all of the killings?
BDS
UN making a decision against Israel
Bout time
Bless
It’s about time
Like firing missiles at civilians......Oh, wait, that wasn't the Israeli's was it?
They better be careful before everyones saying they are anti semites🤦🏽♀️ you know how crazy ppl get when someone criticizes Israel 🙄
Israel has the right to defend itself at any cost. Everyday theres videos posted of Palestinians attacking israeli troops at the border. The UN being anti-Semitic is nothing new
Well there's a surprise, not!
BabaMlLANO As they should
FINALLY!! Tired if seeing dead children! Israel needs to be put in check. Resistance
Nobody cares. The un is a joke.
Israel should face justice for the protest killings, but it probably won't....thanks to the US.
UN Didn’t you hear that Israel likes lgbt people? Smh.
🤣You used 'UN' and 'human rights' in the same sentence!
How long before discussing this matter is considered to be a trope and categorized as Antisemitism? Terribly sad 😞
Get rid of UN. Get off Israel’s back!
Yup
The UN human rights council includes countries that don't even have human rights lol
Of course they do🙄
The UN is a freaking joke
Sounds like anti semetic rhetoric to me lol
Not the first time, nothing will happen.
USA will veto any action against Israel. Many Jews in top positions in politics as SenSchumer or midia as wolfblitzer , milionare companies and families for American government to even dare to critisize Israel, much less do anything about it.
Netanyahu Indictment Closer as Israeli Prosecutor Seeks Charges
Add those recent war crimes to Israel’s 2014 war crimes. Where 2,251 were killed & 65% of those deaths (1,463) were civilians. Majority of those civilians were women & children. (Bc anyone male claimed as a combatant). They should be prosecuted for these atrocities, finally.
May hve or they hve
Israel does what it wants and the world says and does nothing. Nothing will change. People will continue to die. Extermination will continue.
ElaineG16
Bullshit
If any people should know this is wrong, it's the Jewish people in Israel. The Holocaust should be a reminder. They also know what it's like 2 have a revolution. When Israel was fighting Brits 2 free themselves they blew up hotels, shot Brit soldiers etc. Oppression dosn't work
Don’t tell Rachel Riley
No way !! Are you seriously telling me shooting kids throwing stones isn't allowed ? Who would have guessed
shaunking Ya think?
Do the concepts of Justice and War ever have anything in common? Isn’t war pretty much the negation of justice in every single sense. What is the difference between war and crime anyways? Is war not a crime because it is started by rich people and fought by poor ones?
Good, they're as bad as South Africa was before apartheid ended.
The whole Middle East is a war crime...it’s Israel, so all the left will freak out. Chop some heads off anywhere else over there, nobody cares. Imagine that!
Bullshit
shaunking Ha ha ha. Israel Zionist apologists don’t have enough fingers to point & yell....”but you’re anti-Semitic”😂😂😂 Seriously, every time u speak of holding Israel accountable....the anti-Semitic card gets dealt. 🤔
shaunking I agree and serious sanctions!
julloyd44 I wonder what Tom Watson thinks about that. !
HighTechAztec Remind me why it is OK to make it illegal to Boycott Israel in the US.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. What about the attacks on Israel from Hamas? Biased twitter strikes again
How about you don't go running into war zones. Good idea right!
About time....
What’s next ? The UN Nominating the Racist Terrorist Hamas dictatorship in Gaza a Noble Peace Prize
The Useless Nations thinks that? Really coming from the fact they haven’t done a thing to help anyone in Syria except talk about it.
The photo you’re using is certainly driving home your message. 🙄
And Why isn’t India penalised for committing War crimes in Kashmir?
This is clearly anti-Semitic propaganda, the Jewish people have the divine right to genocide all of us lower gentiles because they are God’s chosen people. Disgraceful
Seriously🤔🤔
How long, how many people should die, before anybody say something?
WoobieTuesday Israel is a known fascist state. It should be dismantled and made into a UN protectorate under the General Assembly.
Should, but won't.
The usual racism against Israel !
Looks like the un is about to fall apart now
BS!!!!!!
Theres no maybe. If people protest and you have snipers shoot to maim, thats a war crime. Bulldozing peoples homes and then rebuilding for Israelis only is a war crime. The list of war crimes go back decAdes. No need to increase suffering on those that have nothing. Need peace
The45Storm No shit, but nothing will ever happen, it never does
Fucking finally! Or is it just talk and no action.
That's antisemitism isn't it? By UN?
Cause the U.N. is comprised completely of human rights focused countries... Give me a break. The U.N. is hypocrisy of the highest order. Should be disbanded. War to settle the score is favorable to agenda based genocide under the (poor) guise of the greater good.
Considering who sits in the human rights council this means literally nothing
Well...duh
If it was up to the UN, Israel would have been annihilated several years ago...
Isn’t that anti-Semitic for you to even report that? 🤔 Benjamins AIPAC FuckAIPAC FuckAIPAC
I wish the UN would make an investigation into the dehumanizing ways children are being treated and the sexual abuse of asylum seekers in US detention centres. IndictTrump
Global New World Order is mad at small nation state for defending itself for the 97th time this month.
The same UN who can't condemn Hamas, Hazbollah, Syria gassing it's own people, and praises people like Che.
DickXaivier Thanks for the RTs ....
Yes they did. They all did. Both Israel & Iran are responsible for this endless war. There R bad ppl on both sides fueling this war so it never ends. They don't want peace.
kyle_scanlon04 These people are harmless, it's not wright to do this. It might be greed, greed for land?
israel commit war crimes and then pull the anti-Semitic card whenever anyone says anything about it. It's time the world stopped being afraid of them. Not everyone is anti-Semitic
But they wont...
The prroblem with the UN is they haven't read the Torah which gives Israel the right to kill anyone they choose
*Should* 😂😂😂😂😂 really ?
And they are happy to overlook the killings of Palestinians civilians by their own Palestinians inside Gaza.
Lol. No.
I stand with Israel !
Good.
Really? Why I am not surprise. Is it because we are thought to love israel not the Palestinian.
Palestine must stop attack Israel. All the 'far-liberal-press' are antisemite.
Duh!
There are literal photos of dead nurses and dead journalists wearing journalist vests. There is no 'alleged' about it, the IDF is a terrorist organization. They shot these people knowing full well they were healthcare workers and journalists.
If they'll run over Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer & not bother to so much as apologize; imagine what they'd do to Palestinians without thinking twice.
About 70 fucking years too late but better late than never
📖
They should but they most likely won’t.
Shame on amyklobuchar Solidarity with BDSmovement
No shit. 71 years too late.
About fucking time👏😎
Dem poor folks gettin killed and all you care about iz new Apple phones and shit
Watch out this article is full of antisemitism
HarmlessYardDog
RepTomSuozzi you have any comment on this or will you turn a blind eye?
Is this the same Human Rights council that has Somalia and Bahrain on it? Ok then 😂😂😂
Call me when the U.N. does anything about it. Lol Useless organization.
So Afghanistan is critical of Israel? lol
Wow how our opinions have changed! I’ve never been super comfortable discussing what’s happening with Palestine and Israel but hearing him use “witch hunt” and knowing how they were able to hunt down nazi war criminals I believe them, not him.
zellieimani UN isn’t the only one that’s been saying this but anytime someone does, they’re usually accused of being anti-Semitic.
About time
Not the UN. ITS THE BOGUS COUNCIL THAT USA DEFUNDED N LEFT BC THEY WERE ULTRA BIAS VS ISRAEL. BE MORE CLEAR ABOUT WHO SAID IT N STOP LYING
“US Congress” is about to make a law that any American public opposition to Israel human rights violations is punishable by government agencies. TRAITORS TREASON
Israel, Pakistan, Ect. STOP THE HATE. Keep all Religions and Beliefs to oneself. Religions continuously cause War and Murder. Where is OUR HUMANITY Love you Brother. Love your Neighbor. And STOP THE HATE. please
kianarenai But they won’t because the international community buys their bullshit every single time.
On the right side of true justice.
Staged photo
UN is anti Jewish.
It was happening all the time! Israel ‘s Apartheid!
welcome to anti israel club all newcomer
Que the establishment Dems and their outcries of “anti-semitism”.
Navarion Awaiting the inevitable conclusion from the British press that the UN is anti-Semitism and needs to be disbanded. 🎣
Don't forget that they shot at mothers nursing their infants as well. They also shot at elderly people too. Since you through the disabled persons bullshit in there you may as well just keep going.
I hope is real is not guilty if such. But I have no faith in the UN. They hate Israel and stand with her enemies. Their 'testimony' is tainted and agenda serving.
Just do the right thing. It’s 2019, they’ve been getting away with this for way too long.
Maybe the shouldn't bring bombs and killing devices to a protest if they don't want to die. It's like hitting the Hoji Lottery, to get shot by Isrealis, or blow your self up there.
HelenBroughto10 I think using the loose term “Israel” is unhelpful. UN should say Netanyahu’s government. He alone and his government are responsible.
When you extend your right to defend yourself to justify shooting unarmed children and bystander journalists you have no moral ground to stand on.
Israel has always been committing Human rights violations, this isn't new.
(((this is anti semetic, omg!!!!))))
MUST face justice
Finally
Strange how everyone is always so concerned with the wrong doing of Israel while turning the other cheek to just about every single Muslim country that surrounds it. Their very religion, and sharia law that comes with it, is a human rights violation.
Why does the UN and msm hate Jews so much?
Perhaps Hamas should stop using children and women as shields. Perhaps western democracies should cancel all aid to Hamas until the $ is used for education, food, water, infrastructure, instead of weapons and tunnelling tools.
Lol I would love to see the human rights records of the countries pushing this nonsense.
Iraq, India, Congo, Cuba, Argentina, Afghanistan, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan and Eritrea are on the human rights council lol... Absolutely nothing hypocritical about them judging someone else on human rights.
Fck the UN! Everyone must rise up against this Islamic organization! FoxNews UKParliament
Yawn
The UnitedNations should be disbanded for its blatant anti Israel bias, kick them out of the U.S., and stop funding their anti Semitic calls for justice.
Is benshapiro or GadSaad gonna call the UN antisemitic now?
The UN.....lol. All the UN is now is a shill for the Islamic voting bloc.
Oh yeah but terrorist Palestinians blowing up shopping malls should not face justice huh?
About damn time this is being called into question
I'm SHOCKED! No...no, I'm not. Israel IsraelWarCrimes Israele ThursdayThoughts

I wonder what AIPAC thinks about this?
All talk no action IndependenceforPalestine
No one gives af what the UN says. Bless Israel.
I say the UN must face justice over... EVERYTHING!
Move to Mars already Israel. It's Gaza earth.
Zionist-Jewish squatters mostly Europeans, steal Palestinian land & destroy their property. They are a bunch of criminal thugs sponsored by a radical right ideologically twisted Anglican Zionist Church that prays to a real estate broker they want us to believe is the almighty God
UN is the biggest joke of 21st century. Double standard!!
They should. But will they.... .... .........
RashaQandeelBBC UN do nothing that’s the truth
ht4ecosocialism lisanandy Any opinion on this, Lisa?
The UN is now a radical Islam group They side with terrorist like hamas. Who cares what they say or think
This is the world's longest still existing disaster despite of many things having came en gone..great people , better mathematicians including powerful men have been no match to this Gaza problem en I propose it to be written in the book of records as the record of records..
How does the UN feel about mass violent human rights violations including in Yemen, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, Russia, Myanmar, Syria...?And what has the result been?
who cares with UN opinion?
Die_Alexs Good joke
'Should' 😂 And who is Justice? I have yet to see this Justice (person/country/organisation?) who everyone should be facing 🙊
It's about time this terrorist state was dissolved they're sponsoring the terrorists in Syria and Yemen and around the world have you noticed all the Israeli flags being flown by the opposition terrorists in Venezuela thousands of Palestinians dying and the world does nothing
Screw the UN!
UN Security Council should exercise it's jurisdiction
Absolutely.
NOPE.
UN has become a joke. Israeli terrorists kill, torture and abuse 1000's of Palestinians but nobody dares to call a spade a spade. Zionists are the scum of this Plante.
UN, biggest joke organisation in the world.
Everybody saying same thing for years but doing nothing in real,israeli brutality must be stopped by someone,i am sure good israeli citizens can do somethings too otherwise it will be too late for all
U.N is a joke
Sad, the Maduro regime has been murdering hundreds of students for years here in Venezuela and the UN says nothing still...
The American Yankee Party says Palestinians should face justice for killing Jews/Israelis...!!!!
Bullsht! What about all the rockets and fire balloons? And tunnels? Israel has a right to defend itself!
I hope the UN is not antiseptic.
Any country any organization in world capable to ask them I think when it comes to Palestine world has double standards
Israel means justice itself.
I AGREE
Should? You meant MUST!
The UN is a partisan joke
U.S. officially responds: 'no u'
