Geneva – The Israeli army’s execution of an elderly Palestinian after using him in a propaganda campaign promoting its “safe corridor” in Gaza was strongly condemned in a statement released by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor today.
The rights organisation expressed outrage over Israel’s incorporating the man into its attempt to cover up horrific crimes against displaced Palestinians fleeing Israeli violence in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israel’s army released a photo of one of its soldiers talking to Bashir Hajji, a 79-year-old resident of Gaza City’s Zaytoun neighborhood, as he travelled on Salah al-Din Road, the main route to the southern Gaza Valley. The soldier in the photo appears to be helping and protecting displaced Palestinian civilians, said Euro-Med Monitor, yet Hajji was subjected to a field execution on the morning of Friday 10 November.
The elderly man’s granddaughter, Hala Hajji, told the Euro-Med Monitor team that her grandfather was brutally executed while crossing the “safe corridor” when members of the Israeli army intentionally shot him in the head and back. She also confirmed that he is in the photo that was put out by Israel—exposing the Israeli army’s dangerous practice of flagrantly fabricating stories.
Euro-Med Monitor stated that it has previously documented dozens of cases where the Israeli army executed displaced Palestinians by live bullets and, in some cases, by artillery shells. Those displaced were attempting to flee to the south of Wadi Gaza at the Israeli army’s request.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor renewed its calls for the United Nations and the International Criminal Court to open an urgent independent investigation into the execution crimes to which displaced Palestinians have been and are still being subjected to, to hold those who ordered such crimes accountable, and to achieve justice for the victims.
Bet you love supporting Israel, as a veteran. Liberals like you should be the first to be thrown in crossfire for "both sides"ing what has been a one way genocide of Palestinians for the past century. A veteran calling me a monster is hilarious.
I love how us “liberal” godless heathens are always the first to go to hell yet we preach peace and understanding. Yes I am an atheist and a liberal veteran.
Your god is ashamed of you and your preached falsehoods. If you truly believe in him you would abandon your ways of violence and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise I’ll see you in hell. I’ll be looking forward to recounting this conversation with you in the afterlife, if there is such a place.
You liberals are the second worst criminals after the ones who commit crimes, being the enablers and cheerleaders of those crimes. “yet we preach peace and understanding” LMAO fucking gaslighter
Says the person advocating for death. This is hilariously stupid.
Easy to say that when you as a “veteran” terrorist on foreign soil have had no empathy. You must have had a lot of practice with gaslighting, narcissism and sociopathy.
I can admit my participation in violence is wrong. Can you say the same for your advocacy of it? That is what will send you to that hell you fear so much.
I don’t believe in it so you’re just spouting nonsense at me 😂
Deciphering smoothbrains is very easy. Sorry to disappoint you, I do not fit in anyone’s boxes.
