1. Jumping ahead of the bandwagon ...

... to come. The United Nations Commission which was charged with investigating this recent conflict has asked for a six month extension before releasing its report, which is due on the 31st of March. The problem is that all their investigations have yielded mountains of evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity -- all of it committed by Hamas and other terrorist denizens in Gaza. I'm told the evidence is overwhelming, and highly embarrassing to the "palestinians," who screech "war crimes!" without end. Oh yes. There were a great many war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during Operation Protective Edge. All of them committed by the "palestinians." Amnesty International is just getting ahead of the show. Salvaging what is left of their declining funds, and hoping to raise new ones. The evidence against the "palestinians" is overwhelming and prima facie. Oh well! Truth will out, as they say. Seems to me the "palestinians" are coming to the end of their run. Couldn't happen to a worse, more despicable and degenerate, bunch of terrorists.
2. Finally!!

3. Hamas committed war crimes Duh!
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.26.15)
Hamas is already charged at the Hague with crimes against humanity now, like cord wood, they stack up bodies without punishment or guilt. Nice to know that Hamas goes unchecked and is still in the business of terror, officially. Gazan's must be so proud. KEEP BUILDING !!!
4. Can Hamas be used over crimes against humanity?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.26.15)
We read that Hamas is already readying for another war on Israel. If the courts don't work maybe another devastating attack would bring Gaza to a complete halt? This is what the pals voted for and now, what they must live with. Hope your happy, losers. KEEPING BUSY BUILDING AND WINNING !!!
5. Amnesty report
D Brady ,   Liverpool   (03.26.15)
Oh! Then that makes it all ok then...IDF were at times naughty but them sardine can living Gazans were the ones responsible for bombing their own people whilst poor Israel was just trying to protect itself
6. AI will be the death of the notion of human & humanitarian rights
UR   (03.26.15)
anyone giving money to AI is wasting it - AI investigates what perpetrators of the violators of the rights in question OPENLY ADVERTISE in every act of propaganda. Every leaflet, every billboard, every parade, everywhere and all the time. but AI wastes precious resources investigating this of all things. AI is actually making a mockery of the very thing it is meant to protect and implement.
7. REALLY ???

8. At the end the truth wins
Deborah ,   Jerusalem   (03.26.15)
Stating the obvious. There's evidence that rockets were fired from schools, UN headquarters and that children and woman are used as shields. "And Eisav hated Jacob" (eisav married a desendant of ismael) It's their fix in live to stop hating and being cold blooded killers and start being productive and helpfull to the world. That is what Allah really wants.
9. Hamas is nothing less of a criminal organization.
robert ,   belgium   (03.26.15)
So what's the point?
10. #5 start by learning primary school history
(03.26.15)
11. #5 what do you mean by ' trying '?
Elan   (03.26.15)
Isrsel DID defend itself. It's not going to sacrifice its citizens, because gazans volunteer to become human shields. If you endanger my children, and then hide behind urs while still shooting at mine. Guess what's gonna happen?? Your children will definitely become victims, only they'd be ur victims, not mine. Regardless of how many biased friends you have blaming me!
12. The correct version of the Boys on the Beach playing ball
Alan ,   SA   (03.26.15)
Palestinian witnesses had claimed that an Israeli F-16 warplane had killed Palestinian civilians on the beach. But the Amnesty report has corroborated the Israeli army's account of events, which said that the deaths occurred when militants misfired their own rockets. Palestinian armed groups must end all direct attacks on civilians Philip Luther, Amnesty's director for the Middle East and North Africa 'An independent munitions expert who examined the available evidence... concluded that the projectile used in the attack was a Palestinian rocket,' the report said.
13. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.27.15)
War criminals should be brought to account, don't you think?
14. To: Alan at No. 12

So much for "palestinian" "eyewitnesses." Kind of puts paid to a whole assortment of false "palestinian" claims over the years. My personal favorite? When a bunch of "palestinian" schoolgirls claimed that they had been "poisoned" by "Zionists." Of course, when the camera panned over them, they were crying hysterically, clutching their stomachs and moaning. Equally of course, when the little red light went away, they went right back to laughing, chatting amongst themselves and looking healthy as the proverbial horse. When the red light came back towards them, they went right back to moaning, groaning and clutching their stomachs. Bunch of thieves, terrorists and violent, lying scum. Is it any wonder it is impossible to believe a single word any one of them utters? But the international community is growing wise to "palestinian" antics. Proof? How much of the $5.4 billion promised has Hamas actually collected? Words are free. Lip service is free. Part with the cash? Not so free. And certainly not for lying, war criminal scum.
