Israel announces it won’t cooperate with UN Gaza probe

[shira]

...The decision not to cooperate with the probe was approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, the Ynet news website reported.

The Foreign Ministry said the decision came about because of the UN Human Rights Council’s “obsessive hostility” toward Israel and “one-sided mandate.” It also cited anti-Israel statements made by inquiry head William Schabas as a factor in the move.

“While Hamas fired thousands of rockets toward Israel, the UN Human Rights Council decided it would determine in advance Israel’s ‘guilt’ and set up an investigative committee to serve as a rubber stamp to its known positions,” a ministry statement said.

“Since the Schabas commission is not an inquiry but a commission that gives its conclusions in advance, Israel will not cooperate with the UN Commission on Human Rights over the last conflict with Hamas,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said in a statement.

1. Chickenshits..meet the Likud. You have to appreciate their consistent approach, we are

the victim, no one likes us..blah blah blah.

[King_David]

4. Well they not judging Likud

And why cooperate with a joke like the UNHRC that has nothing to do with human rights and is dedicated to the investigation of Israel to the exclusion of any other countries and who's members are just about all the worst human rights offenders on the planet.

Why cooperate when the fix is in?

[Jefferson23]

5. Just like the Likud always says..of course that is who they're judging. Who the heck do you

think is responsible for policy?

They're cowards, all of them...they will not cooperate and they'll not accept any report
by any human rights group..their reasons for refusing make them a bad joke to the world.

Egypt did something similar recently, people laughed at their reasoning too.

[shira]

6. What do you expect from a UN "human rights" council....

...consisting of China, Congo, Cuba, Kuwait, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE?

These human rights hell holes have already made up their mind about Israel, long ago.

Worse, Schabas admitted on TV that he wasn't aware of the UN doing any investigation of Hamas war crimes. Hamas wasn't mentioned in the resolution that passed, giving a green light to the inquiry.



----------------

It's a joke and you make yourself look worse by denying there are any issues with this UN inquiry.

[Jefferson23]

7. They'll accept none..doesn't matter who does it. n/t

[shira]

8. Says someone who can't acknowledge how FUBAR the UN is....

....regarding human rights.

[Jefferson23]

9. Sanitize it all you like..won't change Israel rejecting any report...it's what they do. n/t

[shira]

10. Wrong. Israel had no problem with the UN's Palmer commission....

....regarding the Mavi Marmara incident. That was an example of a balanced report.

I'm sure you hated it.

[Jefferson23]

12. Ah, the Palmer report..the one Turkey rejected and other human rights groups.

That would be the one Israel would accept. Uribe is known to have no use for
human rights groups and this attitude has been established with regard to
human rights groups in Columbia, too.

Balance is when you see a report that is contrary to all other human rights groups,
honest people question the integrity of the report.

I don't expect that from Israeli nationalists.

[shira]

13. LOL, thought you'd hate a balanced report.

See, the problem is that you can't stand the report concluding that the IHH thugs were looking for a fight, and that the IDF commandos were defending themselves from pre-meditated violence.

Your version of a fair report would've had the IDF looking for trouble, taking it out against innocents for no reason DESPITE video evidence showing otherwise.

You're so transparent.

=====================

Anyway, so much for Israel not accepting any inquiry into their actions. You were wrong but keep deflecting with bullshit...

[Jefferson23]

14. Like I said, when a report is contrary to all others, honest people question the integrity

of the report. How do you reconcile the contrary reports..a conspiracy against Israel?

Israel did not accept that they used excessive force which the report stated they did..so why
are you cheering for yourself and Israel?

Palmer: Gaza blockade lawful, IDF used ‘excessive’ force
http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Palmer-Gaza-blockade-lawful-IDF-used-excessive-force

I am transparent, the reports reflect what I said..they don't accept anything, even when given
a pass.

[shira]

15. The reports you champion do not assign any intent....

...towards IHH thugs and how they were looking for a fight with the IDF defending.

The reports you prefer deliberately distort the picture, making the IDF look like aggressors aiming to hurt or kill innocents.

That's fucked up.

Seriously fucked up.

[Jefferson23]

16. I will repeat, Israel accepts nothing, even when given a pass..all documented.

Intent was not the only discrepancy in the reports, btw.

[shira]

17. Point me to a report other than Palmer's which u believe....

....to be honest, accurate, and balanced.

Just one.

I'll wait...

[Jefferson23]

19. To convince you? That would be like trying to convince Bibi...no. n/t

[shira]

20. As I thought. Such a report doesn't exist. n/t

[Jefferson23]

21. Not one that would suit you and Bibi, no. n/t

[shira]

22. Nope, a report that's actually honest, accurate, & balanced. n/t

23. Turkey was protecting this dude?

24. I don't know what you're referring to with your question in relationship

to the report.

[lsewpershad]

2. because they are

more powerful than the UN and the whole world even the exceptional US of A.

11. Israel rules the world? Good to know. n/t

3. Israel denies entry to members of UN inquiry into alleged war crimes in Gaza

Jerusalem refuses to cooperate with members of the Schabas Commission, appointed to investigate conduct of Israel, Hamas during Operation Protective Edge.

Published: 11.12.14,

Israel denied entry on Wednesday evening to members of a UN commission appointed by the Human Rights Council to investigate possible war crimes committed during Operation Protective Edge.

Members of the committee, often referred to by the name of the lead investigator, Prof. William Schabas, had arrived in Amman before asking permission to enter Israel. Jerusalem refused their request and the decision led to an announcement that Israel would not cooperate with the commission.


The Schabas commission was appointed by the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva to investigate alleged war crimes committed by Israel and Hamas during the heated confrontation last summer.
