Israel: Where Is the High Commissioner for Human Rights?
(Israel's UN Mission in Geneva) The Permanent Mission of Israel to the UN in Geneva said Thursday in a statement: "Since the beginning of 2012, more than 800 rockets were launched from Hamas-controlled Gaza into Israeli cities, over 200 of them in the past week....This morning, three Israeli civilians were killed in their home in the town of Kiryat Malachi, when a Hamas rocket hit their building....And yet the High Commissioner has gone mute. Not a word of sympathy, not a word of concern for the violation of the human rights of Israeli citizens. Just a ringing silence. Israelis do have human rights. The High Commissioner simply does not care about them."
