The Latest on Islamic Palestinian Crimes against Humanity (Feb 1, 2009)
Israel: Suicide bombing of Egged bus no. 19 in Jerusalem
A reexamination
of body parts brought to the Abu Kabir forensic institute brought the death toll
in the Jerusalem suicide bombing to 11. In addition, over 50 people were
wounded, 13 of them seriously, in a suicide bombing of an Egged bus no. 19
shortly before 9:00 AM at the corner of Gaza and Arlozorov streets in Jerusalem.
The bus starts its route at Hadassah Ein Kerem and makes its way through the
center of Jerusalem to Hadassah Hospital and the Hebrew University on Mount
Scopus.
The bomber was in the back of the bus when he detonated the
explosives, said Jerusalem Police Chief Mickey Levy. The blast tore apart the
bus, turning it into a twisted wreck. The back half of the roof was blown into
the air and every window was blown out.
Both the Fatah-related Al Aqsa
Martyrs' Brigades and Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, naming the
bomber as Ali Yusuf Jaara, a 24-year-old Palestinian policeman from
Bethlehem.

Thousands of al-Qaeda supporters active in Gaza

Meanwhile, Hamas said most Army of Islam members were in fact Fatah
members who chose the cover of Global Jihad in order to destabilize Hamas' Gaza
rule.

If Hamas is the official government of Gaza and if Hamas ordered the firing
of more of than 6,000 deadly rockets at Israeli civilians, then it follows that
the government of Gaza has engaged in an armed attack against Israel under
Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. In other words, the government of Gaza
has declared war against the government and people of Israel. This should not be
surprising, since the Hamas Charter calls for the military destruction of
Israel. ..
srael clearly had to right to take whatever military action was
necessary to stop the Hamas government from playing Russian roulette with the
lives of its children. So far, no problem under international law. But here’s
the rub. International law also requires that Israel’s actions must not be
disproportional to its military aims and it also prohibits the willful targeting
of Palestinian civilians.
To make things even more complicated, international
law prohibits the use of human shields to protect combatants from lawful
military actions taken by those against whom it has waged an armed attack. And
there can be absolutely no doubt that it is the official policy of Hamas to use
children, women, schools, mosques, hospitals and other civilian institutions and
areas as shields to protect its combatants from legitimate Israeli military
actions. In addition to the video evidence showing Hamas fighters deliberately
placing their rockets adjacent to UN schools, mosques and to residential areas,
there are the express statements of officially-elected Hamas leaders both before
and during the fighting. Consider the following public statement delivered by a
Hamas legislator, transmitted on Hamas television and widely circulated by
video. The legislator’s name is Fathi Hammad and here is what he said:
“[The
enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its
[methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has
become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on
this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children.
This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the
elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine.
It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: ‘We desire death like you
desire life.’”
There are videos available for all to watch in which Al-Aqsa
TV news broadcasts a report showing a crowd of civilians gathered on the roof of
a home that was a military target. Indeed those who arranged for these human
shields to protect that military target do not shy away from actually using the
term “human shield.” On another occasion, Hamas leader, appearing on television
demands that “the people of Palestine should gather as one to protect the Jihad
warriors’ house,” calling for these civilians to “die as warriors.”
