The report, which does not have the force of law, found that the Israeli military has engaged in deliberate assaults on hospitals and other health care providers.
United Nations investigators on Thursday accused Israel of engaging in “relentless and deliberate attacks” on health care facilities, medical workers and wounded civilians in the Gaza Strip and said the actions amounted to war crimes and extermination, a crime against humanity.
A U.N. report said the Israelis had imposed“collective punishment” on Palestinians in retaliation for the Oct. 7 attacks Hamas militants led on Israel a year ago from Gaza. The Israeli siege that followed, it said, has prevented hospitals from receiving food, fuel, water and medical supplies, and has also limited the number of patients allowed to leave Gaza for treatment.
“Israel must immediately stop its unprecedented wanton destruction of health care facilities in Gaza,” Navi Pillay, head of the commission that conducted the report said in a statement.

They are war crimes for sure.
at last, because the Leahy laws say if a country is “suspected of gross human rights violations” the US is prohibited from shipping them weapons. Surely we will follow those laws, or proescute those that dont follow them. We are a nation of laws after all. A Bastion of Demcoracy, the shining city on the hill, the bravest and free-est people on the planet. (eagle cry.mp4)

Reminiscent of the “We got him!” joke Jon Oliver would do for Trump every week when there was some report he was doing something illegal or insane. Except now it’s just reports on Israel’s conduct every month instead.
I wonder what it will take for us to finally give up the joke that we’re a nation of laws equally applied to everyone, or in this case that we care about an “Rules-Based International Order”.
