PM pans UNHRC for legitimizing terror
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashes out at the United Nations Human Rights Council, saying it “grants legitimacy to murderous terrorist groups such as Hamas and ISIS.”
Rather than investigating potential Israeli crimes committed during Operation Protective Edge, the UNHRC should look into Hamas firing rockets at Israel and using Gaza’s civilian population as human shields, or Bashar Assad’s slaughter in Syria, or ISIS’s murder of Kurds in Iraq, Netanyahu fumes.
“The report of the UN commission has already been written,” the prime minister alleges. Its head, William Schabas, “has already decided that Hamas is not a terrorist organization, so he has nothing to look for here.”
— Raphael Ahren
