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 upvoting my comments lmao, it does that automatically. I couldn’t care less about upvotes - unlike you, apparently.

    Have you considered a career in politics? You seem to be pretty good at avoiding questions and derailing convetsations, which seems to be all the rage with politicians everywhere.

    And with the childish insults again. You should really stop making a fool of yourself.

      This username isn’t, no.

      Have you? You’ve dodged this point so Manny times we might as well call you Santos.

      Aww poor baby can dish it but can’t take it, why is that not surprising? You make fun of the fact I’m slowly going paralyzed but pointing out you’re about as annoying as an ingrown hair on my taint is totally worse. Boo hoo, fuck off bud.

        I’m making fun of what now? I did not even know that. You are interpreting everything as a personal attack, that is the issue here.

        You seem to think you are taking revenge of some kind by insulting me. Implying you think you are hurting my feelings or something. Sorry to have to tell you this, but it’ll take a bit more to do that than some rabdom stranger’s preschooler level insults.

          Yeah sure. Then you’ve not been paying attention which is sorta my point. You don’t care about the argument your just trying to be annoying, you’ve quite literally admitted to it already. I’m interpreting everything as an insult? You’re the one fucking crying about it.

          No, I’m fighting fire with fire, if you’re going to be an annoying asshole that doesn’t care about the argument, why exactly shouldn’t I throw the same back at you?

          Aww poor baby got his fee fees hurt but can’t keep up, boo hoo. Fuck off crybaby, you’ve abandoned the argument entirely at this point and admitted you don’t even know what it is about.

            If you were to look up “projection” in a dictionary, you’d have a pretty good chance of finding this comment.

                I have. Multiple times. But I guess you were too busy coming up with more kindergarten-level comebacks to actually come up with a response?

                I’m really not sure why you’re even still replying to me. I mean, I think this conversation is hilarious, but you are clearly just getting upset about it, I don’t see what you’re achieving here.

                    You aren’t even remotely making sense, do you realize that? It’s quite obvious how angry you are, denying it just makes you sound even more silly.

                    But, serious question: do you think that I feel insulted by some child online calling me an idiot? Do you think that that does anything at all other than making you sound stupid? It’s like you keep banging your head against a wall, expecting it to break any moment. I’m sorry, but it won’t. If you want to actually insult people (and you clearly do, you don’t even pretend to be here to discuss anything, you obviously just want to fight) you’ll have to do a lot better than that.
