      The United Nations Human Rights Office says Hamas and Israeli forces should face a "reckoning" for war crimes committed since Oct. 7, 2023.  The UN does not know the meaning of human rights.

     The HRC report says 70% of the verified casualties in Gaza through April were women and children.   Who is at fault, Hamas, not Israel.  The U.N. Human Rights Office published a 32-page report assessing potential war crimes and human rights violations by Israel, Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups in Gaza and during the war on Israeli civilians.  "It is essential that there is a due reckoning with respect to the allegations of serious violations of international law," U.N. Human Rights Chief Volker Turk said.  The UN is not in favor of the US.

      "The rules of war, in force now for 160 years, were designed to limit and prevent human suffering in times of armed conflict," Turk added. "Their wanton disregard has led to the current extremes of human suffering, which we continue to see today.  Again, true fault is on Hamas.  The report urged an "immediate cease-fire."

     Israel's diplomatic mission to the U.N. in Geneva criticized the report, writing: "Once again, OHCHR fails to accurately reflect the realities on the ground, and disregards the extensive role of Hamas and other terrorist organizations in deliberately causing civilian harm in Gaza."
