Since the beginning of 2012, more than 800 rockets were launched from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip towards Israeli cities, over 200 of them just in the past week.
The lives of one million Israelis are threatened, and daily life in southern Israel has been severely disrupted. Children do not attend school; civilians sleep in shelters. Only this morning, three Israeli civilians were killed in their home in Kiryat Malachi town, when a Hamas rocket hit their building. Some others, including a 4-year-old boy, were injured. This has been the bitter reality of one seventh of Israel\’s population for the past few years.
The terrorist activity is carried out by Hamas and other terrorist organizations that operate under Hamas protection.
And yet the High Commissioner has gone mute. Not a word of sympathy, not a word of concern for the violation of the human rights of Israeli citizens.Just a ringing silence.
Israelis do have human rights. The High Commissioner simply does not care about them.
