UN experts said in a report on Tuesday that Israel committed the crime against humanity of “extermination” by killing civilians sheltering in schools and religious sites in Gaza, part of a “concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life.”
The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel was due to present the report to the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council on June 17.
“We are seeing more and more indications that Israel is carrying out a concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life in Gaza,” former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, who chairs the commission, said in a statement.
Are some starting to see the writing on the wall? Has their shame finally caught up to them? Do some want to salvage a shred of their humanity?
No. They want to be ahead of the curve so they dont look complicit when the tide turns. No morals here, just self interest.
You’re likely correct. Hedging their bets.
In the case of Haaretz I think they’re just mad at Netanyahu since he tried to fuck with them. I’m not sure exactly what he did, but I remember that after reading an article about him taking hostile action against them they started publishing more critical (read: truthful) reporting of the war, though it should be noted that for the most part they were never on team “Enter Gaza and kill all the Khamas!!!”.
