Palestinian UN rep says every missile fired from Gaza at Israel is a crime against humanity In interview with PA TV, diplomat details possible risks to the Palestinians of their joining the International Criminal Court BY TIMES OF ISRAEL STAFF July 14, 2014, 7:06 am The Palestinian representative to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva said that every rocket and mortar fired from Gaza toward Israel is a crime against humanity.
Speaking on July 9 to Palestinian Authority TV on the possible risks involved if Palestinians leaders ask to join the International Criminal Court as they have threatened to do in order to push for measures against Israel Ambassador Ibrahim Kraishi said the Palestinian weakness in terms of international law is the indiscriminate firing of rockets at Israel.
The missiles that are now being launched against Israel, each and every missile constitutes a crime against humanity, whether it hits or misses, because it is directed at civilian targets, said Kraishi during the interview, translated by MEMRI.
The ambassador said that, by contrast, Israels actions follows legal procedures, because the IDF warns Gazan civilians to leave sites and areas before they are bombed.
Many of our people in Gaza appeared on TV and said that the Israelis warned them to evacuate their homes before the bombardment. In such a case, if someone is killed, the law considers it a mistake rather than an intentional killing because [the Israelis] followed the legal procedures.
As for the missiles launched from our side, we never warn anyone about where these missiles are about to fall or about the operations we carry out, he says.
Kraishi also said the settlements [in the West Bank], the Judaization [of Jerusalem], the checkpoints, the arrests, and so on were also considered war crimes under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
What’s the over/under on how long before he’s beheaded?
I had to read this four or five times to make sure I was reading it correctly.
So did I.
The guy either (a) is high on crack, (b) self-loathing and wants to be murdered by his “friends”, (c) mentally unstable or (d) a Mossad agent.
It will result in a very public execution. No doubt he will appeal to the US or Israel for asylum.
Adios head.
Me too.
Same here. He tried to make up for it by the claim of a war crime regarding settlements though. They may not be kosher due to some legality, but a war crime? The Palestinian mind works in mysterious ways.
