Link: Inquiry Finds Gaza War Crimes On Both Sides
“A United Nations fact-finding mission investigating the three-week war in Gaza last winter issued a highly critical report on Tuesday detailing what it called extensive evidence that both Israel and Palestinian militant groups took actions amounting to war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanity.”
While the long-anticipated, 575-page report condemned rocket attacks by Palestinian armed groups against Israeli civilians, it reserved its harshest language for Israel’s treatment of the civilian Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, both during the war and through the longer-term blockade of the territory.”
I’ll reserve comment on this one, except to say that it’s fascinating to see this type of official analysis of an incident that we experienced somewhat firsthand (and blogged about here).
