Statement of the World Peace Council
IN August, Israel’s renewed bombing of Gaza killed 44 Palestinians, including 15 children, in addition to injuring at least 350. This was described by the UN special rapporteur as an act contrary to international law.
As Michelle Bachelet said, “Such attacks must stop,” and international law is clear that “launching an attack which may be expected to incidentally kill or injure civilians, or damage civilian objects, in disproportionate manner to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated, is prohibited.”
Yet Israel does exactly this in Palestine again and again, year after year.
