This refers to the U.N. report that Israel had deliberately targeted civilians in Gaza earlier this year, by using disproportionate force killing over 1400 Palestinians. It was a shame on the so-called civilized nations who watched in shrilled silence for three weeks, the gory assault carried out by one of the powerful armies of the world in the name of “Dahiya doctrine”. That a lethal chemical like white phosphorous was used even on the U.N. compound sheltering hundreds of civilians, speak about the ruthless character of the Israeli army. The U.S. had no qualms in conducting trial in a kangaroo court and executing Saddam Hussein for using chemical weapons. Why the same yardstick is not applied for Ehud Olmert and Ehud Barak who were responsible for targeting the Gaza civilians? Is it not a sheer hypocrisy by the sole super power?
