Continue to ChatSince September 2000, Israeli forces have killed more than 3,000 Palestinians who did not participate in hostilities, according to B’Tselem’s data.

Human Rights Watch has called for Palestine to seek access to the International Criminal Court to deter serious international crimes by all sides. “In case after case after case, Israeli forces are firing live ammunition from assault rifles at Palestinians armed with rocks or nothing at all,” Whitson said. “Since the military can’t be bothered to enforce its own regulations against these soldiers or the commanders giving them orders, it’s time for Palestine to go to the ICC.” https://www.normanfinkelstein.com/since-september-2000-israeli-forces-have-killed-more-than-3000-palestinians-who-did-not-participate-in-hostilities-according-to-btselems-data-but-the-military-justice-system-has/
