The *EU funnels millions of Euros to the Fatah/Hamas fascists, while publishing yet another attack on Israel regarding their so call human rights violations! Meanwhile, they give scant attention to the real culprits of human rights abuse. So below, here's a reminder to the financial flop house of Europe as to what is categorized as war crimes, committed by the Jihad Jerk-Offs that the EU, Radical Left, the BBC and other liberal media are all so keen to support!

Palestinian organizations Fatah, Hamas et al that fire Qassam rockets into Israel openly declare that they "intend to strike, among other targets, Israeli civilians". Attacks aimed at civilians are both immoral and illegal, and the intentional killing of civilians is a grave breach under the Fourth Geneva Convention, a war crime, and cannot be justified, whatever the circumstances. Furthermore, Qassam rockets are themselves illegal, even when aimed at military objects, because the rockets are so imprecise and endanger civilians in the area from which the rockets are fired as well as where they land, thus violating two fundamental principles of the laws of war: distinction and proportionality.

An American Psychiatric Association study published in 2010, found that incidence rate for post-traumatic symptoms among Israeli civilians was correlated with proximity to the Gaza Strip. Civilians who lived in areas where rockets frequently exploded, and where there was less warning time in advance of strikes, had a higher chance of developing post-traumatic symptoms than those living far enough from Gaza to have one minute or more in which to seek shelter after rockets were launched. The study also found that life under rocket fire sometimes led to cognitive disengagement from threat. Cognitive disengagement was positively correlated with the likelihood of developing pathologies such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression

Israel is about the size of the State of New Jersey. If rocket and mortar attacks had been going on to the same degree and period of time that Israel has been subjected to them, then I suspect that the US or indeed any other country, would have reduced Gaza to ash long ago.
