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.

So you support Hamas?

Your answer to bloodshed… is more of it?
This is a stupid solution that will only unfold into bigger, longer lasting issues.

Just so you’re aware, which it sounds like you aren’t, serving in the IDF is mandatory for all Israeli citizens. Since you seem to not even know this, I don’t think you should be taken seriously on any suggestions at all.

A lot of people were just born there…
I’m as against the settlement as anyone, but at least learn the history. You people just hate things because you’re told to. There are good reasons. Genocide isn’t the answer, and no plenty of Israelis are against Zionism and the invasion who just happened to be born on a certain piece of land that shouldn’t mean anything.

The Palestinian people didn’t exist at some period in the past either. Children should not be bound by the sins of their fathers. I agree it sucks, however there are options available that don’t include genocide. There is plenty of space for both groups to live, just without Zionism.
It is easy to get a medical exemption or go to jail for a few months instead of being complicit in a genocidal campaign. Not all Israeli adults serve.
So you’re a monster. Cool. The one thing about being a veteran is I have the benefit of seeing both sides and I can assure you that last thing I want to see is more innocent people die because two individual groups dragged civilians into the middle of their dick measuring contest.

I love how us “liberal” godless heathens are always the first to go to hell yet we preach peace and understanding. Yes I am an atheist and a liberal veteran.
Your god is ashamed of you and your preached falsehoods. If you truly believe in him you would abandon your ways of violence and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise I’ll see you in hell. I’ll be looking forward to recounting this conversation with you in the afterlife, if there is such a place.

Says the person advocating for death. This is hilariously stupid.
i love the internet, i can go online and watch a literal war criminal going muh both sides about apartheid and genocide in palestine
I love the internet because assholes like you show their true homicidal qualities. I can admit what I did is wrong. Can you?
I’m going to press x for doubt.

Context for readers: the person writing this is a war criminal.
I can admit what I did is wrong.
Can you? I really doubt you can, if you could I don’t think you’d be flaunting what you did online to virtue signal and uncritically accepting war propaganda from the same people who sent you to serve in the first place.
It’s one thing to protest against the genocide and ethnic cleansing, it’s another thing to advocate the extermination of another. With IDF gone, Israel is a sitting duck ripe for the picking from multiple front, lots of innocent people will get killed too. When that happen, it will be no different than what Israel is doing.

Conveniently leaving out the times Israel gave back land, and was then attacked again by Palestine.

No matter where you stand in this conflict, please stop spreading this blatant propaganda map. 1994 was the first year of any palestinian rule over any land

Yes, that’s the point. Death to Israel, free Palestine.
This is way too far. You’re literally calling for the genocide of Israelis because an unverified claim from a website has claimed (without providing any evidence) that Israel has committed a war crime.
If it’s true, Israeli solider should be hit with war crime charges.
You and your attitude are why synagogues all over the world are being burnt and Jews are being attacked. You sound exactly like the ones you condemn.

Doesn’t what Israel and its IDF doing sound familiar.

The terrorist group Hamas has been actively preventing evacuation, and according to reports opening live fire on Palestinians trying to evacuate throughout this war.
Big title with little evidence this case was any different, coming from a highly non-objective organization that failed to find a single issue with Hamas, the sole government in Gaza, which took all the aid money and turn it into rockets.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro-Mediterranean_Human_Rights_Monitor
This is your “highly non-objective organization”. At this point you need sources. And let’s face it, Hamas was right to tell civilians to not evacuate. Do you have the slightest idea how messy a complete evacuation of the north Gaza strip would be like? Especially into the also overcrowded, starving south sid Hint: It would be a much worse bloodbath than what we’re seeing now. Not to mention many people already evacuated south, found themselves being bombed there too, didn’t find shelter and the like, and went back.
“Evacuate Northern Gaza” was a moronic take a month ago and it’s still moronic now. Also I’ll need to see those reports you’re talking about.
I’m no expert, but it took me about 30s to find out that the organisation’s founder is Palestinian, so I’m not sure that’s a good sign for their objectivity
I just find out you speak English, I’m not sure that’s a good sign for your objectivity.
English is the most spoken language in the world.
Correct, there’s 5 million Palestinians… Can we trust any of them?
Depends on the context. But I doubt any of them can be objective about a war their own country is involved in.
Can you be objective as an English speaker which heavily implies former British colony or heavily influenced by English power?
I mean they’re biased; that’s normal. The thing is: Does that bias get in the way of the factuality of their reporting? Given that they have a pretty long track record, there needs to be a source that proves they’re unreliable.
Idk and I don’t really care enough to research it, I just wanted to point out that that article makes it quite easy to find reasons for why they would be biased.
It didn’t, it makes it easy to add your bias.
Add it to what?
You can’t see your parent comment can you?
