Will Israel Be Put On Trial For War Crimes?

[shira]

24. Your sources deny Hamas uses human shields in order to win the PR war & get Gazans killed....

The proof of these war crimes is undeniable...

Gaza reporters’ tweets: Hamas using human shields
On Wednesday, Peter Stefanovic of Australia’s Channel Nine News tweeted: “Hamas rockets just launched over our hotel from a site about two hundred metres away. So a missile launch site is basically next door.”

Indian TV shows Hamas rocket fired near Gaza hotel

So nothing they claim can be taken seriously. Your sources even cover for Hamas' terror tunnels, bending over backwards to give Hamas every possible benefit of the doubt no matter how idiotic the explanation...

Human Rights Watch Official Justifies Hamas’ Use of Terror Tunnels
Indeed, why can’t Israel’s supporters simply accept that the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch pronounces Hamas tunnels as perfectly legitimate under international humanitarian law as long as the genocidal anti-Semitic terrorist group will do its very best to avoid civilian casualties while attacking from the tunnels? But Ken Roth’s verdict on the Hamas tunnels has actually far-reaching implications, particularly since he also clarified today that acts of aggression are not necessarily a violation of international humanitarian law as long as non-combatants are not the target of the aggression.

This is definitely good news for Hamas and other jihadist groups all over the Middle East and beyond. It would mean, for example, that Hamas can tunnel with Ken Roth’s blessings under the Egyptian border to attack Egyptian soldiers. Hezbollah also knows now that Ken Roth sees nothing wrong if it tunnels into Israel to attack the IDF. And the blood-drenched jihadists of the newly formed Islamic State (IS) may now want to consider tunneling into Jordan to attack the Jordanian army. All these terror groups can feel confident that the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch will speak up for their right to tunnel wherever they want to attack the defense forces of another country.

Human Rights Watch’s Ken Roth Goes to Bat for Hamas War Crimes
Ken Roth could have chosen to attack The New York Times for narrowing the definition in such a way as to downplay Hamas culpability for this war crime – which is what a zealous human rights defender would be expected to do. Instead, he went to bat for Hamas against the civilians of Gaza he supposedly cares so much about. Even the Times article says explicitly that “Experts in international law say that…Hamas is legally obligated to minimize its operations near civilians” yet Roth doesn’t want to highlight how bad Hamas is, but to emphasize Hamas is not really that bad. Roth is giving a terror group the benefit of the doubt that Israel has never received.

The New York Times article was written before Thursday’s events at the UNRWA school, but Roth’s tweet was written after details already were being published. And already at that time it was known that Hamas did force civilians to stay in the UNRWA shelter even as Israel was trying to get the civilians evacuated. As Washington Free Beacon recounts the events:

Unforgivable: Amnesty Serves as a Propaganda Tool for Hamas, Foreign Ministry Charges
The report completely ignores Hamas’s attacks on Israeli civilians, its use of human shields and of schools, mosques and hospitals as weapons caches and fortified positions, the terror tunnels and other war crimes it had committed against Israel.

You once wrote it's possible to support Hamas' incitement & murdering of Jews and not be considered antisemitic. You couldn't defend that whopper, of course. But I want to know why there's this need by Israel's "critics" to defend and support an obviously genocidal, murderous bunch of Jew hating neo-nazis like Hamas....can you tell me?
