From the Financial Times: Amnesty urges UN to probe Israel strategy
Amnesty International says attacks on civilian targets by Israeli military forces during the recently ended fighting in Lebanon look like deliberate war crimes.
In a report released on Wednesday, the London-based human rights organisation argues that the destruction of Lebanese homes and basic infrastructure “was an integral part of the military strategy”.
Noting violations by both sides, Amnesty says it has asked the United Nations to open a “comprehensive, independent and impartial inquiry” about the 34-day war between Israel and the Lebanese-based Hizbollah militia.
The losses inflicted by Israeli forces were not just “collateral damage” under the accepted rules of war, according to Amnesty.
How can anyone respect what Amnesty International has to say. After reading this article and the actual news release from their web site I can honestly say, I have as much respect for them, that I have for the United Nations. Pathetic!
Both Amnesty International and the United Nations are driving full speed ahead to irrelevancy. The sooner the better. Then maybe some other organization will step up and be effective in doing the job they are suppose too.
