Geneva – The Israeli army’s execution of an elderly Palestinian after using him in a propaganda campaign promoting its “safe corridor” in Gaza was strongly condemned in a statement released by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor today.
The rights organisation expressed outrage over Israel’s incorporating the man into its attempt to cover up horrific crimes against displaced Palestinians fleeing Israeli violence in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israel’s army released a photo of one of its soldiers talking to Bashir Hajji, a 79-year-old resident of Gaza City’s Zaytoun neighborhood, as he travelled on Salah al-Din Road, the main route to the southern Gaza Valley. The soldier in the photo appears to be helping and protecting displaced Palestinian civilians, said Euro-Med Monitor, yet Hajji was subjected to a field execution on the morning of Friday 10 November.
The elderly man’s granddaughter, Hala Hajji, told the Euro-Med Monitor team that her grandfather was brutally executed while crossing the “safe corridor” when members of the Israeli army intentionally shot him in the head and back. She also confirmed that he is in the photo that was put out by Israel—exposing the Israeli army’s dangerous practice of flagrantly fabricating stories.
Euro-Med Monitor stated that it has previously documented dozens of cases where the Israeli army executed displaced Palestinians by live bullets and, in some cases, by artillery shells. Those displaced were attempting to flee to the south of Wadi Gaza at the Israeli army’s request.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor renewed its calls for the United Nations and the International Criminal Court to open an urgent independent investigation into the execution crimes to which displaced Palestinians have been and are still being subjected to, to hold those who ordered such crimes accountable, and to achieve justice for the victims.
I’m not in the habit of catering to bad faith argument.
Oh id love to know what country that is so I can defeat that idea. You speak English for a reason and it isn’t because it’s fantastic and fun.
Weird, because bad faith arguments seem to be kind of your thing.
The reason I speak English is, as I already said, that it’s the most spoken language in the world. It’s not that hard to understand. Though if speaking English made me biased against Palestine, why isn’t it doing the same to you? Do you not speak English?
Not at all.
Yes because of English influence just like I said and you denied. I’m not the one making crazy statements about some dude from Palestine. Everyone has bias, why you would think without evidence that you cannot trust someone solely because they’re from Palestine is beyond me.
A lot of pretty simple things seem to be beyond you, so I’m not surprised.
And yet you refuse to explain your position in any logical fashion.
It’s quite simple, really: You seem to believe speaking English, like billions of other people on this planet, makes me biased. At the same time, an organization founded by someone from one of the countries involved in the conflict is apparently objective. That does not make sense in any way, shape or form. Is that clear enough to you?
It’s quite simple, really: you seem to believe being Palestinian, like millions of other people on this planet, makes them biased. At the same time, a comment made from one of the English speaking lemmings involved In commentary is appearantly objective. That did not make sense in any way, shape or form. Is that clear enough to you?
I’m bad with over-using commas but damn dude they don’t even make sense here most of the time.
So you think the two are equivalent? You really don’t see how someone could be biased on topics that concern their own country? Are you actually listening to yourself?
Most Palestinians probably speak English as well. According to your logic, that would make them biased against Palestine, then?
Btw you don’t need to further prove your ignorance of the English language, you’ve done enough of that that already.
I’ve not said nor implied that bud. I don’t see how anyone could not be biased towards English nations while speaking English. Are you actually listening to yourself?
Some certainly do yes, that would make them biased towards England… You know the country who occupied mandatory Palestine.
Yeah hemiparesis is a bitch to get used to, that said even though you doubt my grasp of the English language (though I’m an educated native speaker) doesn’t change the fact your argument is bigoted trash. Judge things in facts not perceptions.
