Israel: Human Rights Council Decision "Should Be Rejected by Decent People Everywhere"
(Prime Minister's Office) The decision by the UNHRC is a travesty and should be rejected by decent people everywhere. Rather than investigate Hamas, which is committing a double war crime by firing rockets at Israeli civilians while hiding behind Palestinian civilians, the UNHRC calls for an investigation of Israel, which has gone to unprecedented lengths to keep Palestinian civilians out of harm's way. The UNHRC should launch an investigation into Hamas' decision to turn hospitals into military command centers, use schools as weapons depots and place missile batteries next to playgrounds, private homes and mosques. Like the investigation that led to the infamous Goldstone report, this investigation by a kangaroo court is a foregone conclusion.
