That’s the preliminary take on Israel’s actions in Gaza by the UN’s David Falk either directly or indirectly, by commission or omission.
He cites Israel’s failure, apparently deliberate, to distinguish between civilians and combatants, and possibly also, its constraining civilians from leaving a war zone.
Note to Israel Lobby and fundamentalist Protestant fellow travelers:
A. You can’t pressure UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, unlike President Obama;
B. Falk is Jewish.
Israel Lobby and fundamentalist Protestant fellow travelers will score down his assessment in part for having to rely on sources from Gaza to the degree his estimated death toll is the same as their’s.
Well, yes, that’s because Israel barred him from entering the country.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
