Itongadol.- PM says United Nations commission probing Gaza op has "nothing to look for" in Israel.
The UN Schabas commission investigating the Gaza operation has “nothing to look for” in Israel, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Wednesday, in his first public comments regarding Israel\’s policy toward the commission established by the UN Human Rights Council
The commission\’s findings have already been written, and its head – Canadian professor William Schabas – has already decided that Hamas is not a terrorist organization, “so they have nothing to look for here,” Netanyahu said after meeting New York\’s Governor Andrew Cuomo in his office.
“First let them to visit Damascus, Baghdad, Tripoli,” he said. “Let them go see Islamic State, the Syrian army, Hamas – there, not here, they will find war crimes.”
Netanyahu said that the UNHRC is giving legitimization to murderous organizations like Hamas and the Islamic State.
“Instead of investigating Hamas\’ attacks on Israeli citizens and its use of Gaza residents as human shields, instead of investigating the slaughter that [Syrian President Bashar] Assad is carrying out on Syrian citizens, or the Islamic State massacre of Kurds, the UN decided to come and investigate Israel – the only democracy in the Middle East, and which is acting legitimately to defend its citizens from murderous terrorism,” he said.
