Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotevely on Monday, 5 Tammuz, responded to the United Nations Human Rights Commission report examining the counter-terrorism offensive in Gaza in the summer of 2014, known as Operation Protective Edge.
In an expected outcome, the UN blames both Israel and Hamas of war crimes.
Hotevely’s statement:
“From the outset, the purpose of this report was to vilify the State of Israel and the IDF, with the ultimate aim of undermining Israel’s right to defend its citizens from attack.
The Human Rights Council is a body which has completely discredited itself through its obsessive and prejudicial preoccupation with Israel, whilst turning a blind eye to genuine violations of human rights around the world.
The State of Israel and the IDF scrupulously abide by the highest standards of international law. Israel’s robust legal system ensures strict oversight of military operations. The measures Israel took during the Gaza Conflict to protect the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians are without parallel among other military forces.
Israel is exceptionally proud of its principled conduct and will maintain its unswerving commitment to human rights and international law, irrespective of the well-orchestrated campaign to besmirch its name.”

Straightforward statement. Convincing, credible, and totally obvious.
Sadly, ‘redt tzi de vandt’. (Talk to the wall).
World’s oldest hatred will bend to neither logic, nor facts, nor honesty, nor integrity, nor decency.
A curse on that house of ill-repute.
