Es ist den „Menschenrechtsaktivisten“ von Human Rights Watch, so scheint’s, ihr Aufenthalt in Saudi-Arabien nicht recht bekommen. Konnten die Spendensammler dort nichts entdecken, sehen sie nun Kriegsverbrechen, wo es, dessen sind sich zumindest andere „Menschenrechtsaktivisten“ und Experten sicher, doch gar keine geben kann:
„Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups have over several years launched thousands of rockets at Israeli cities and towns, including hundreds during Israel’s three-week military offensive in Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009. [..]
The rockets unlawfully struck populated areas up to 40 kilometers inside Israel, placing roughly 800,000 Israeli civilians at risk. Rockets that fell short of their intended targets in Israel killed two girls and wounded others in Gaza during this period. Palestinian armed groups that launched rockets from densely populated areas also unlawfully put Gaza civilians at risk of Israeli counterstrikes.
‚Hamas rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians are unlawful and unjustifiable, and amount to war crimes,‘ said Iain Levine, program director at Human Rights Watch. ‚As the governing authority in Gaza, Hamas should publicly renounce rocket attacks on Israeli civilian centers and punish those responsible, including members of its own armed wing.'“
