Testimonies from camp residents, which were provided to the Euro-Med Monitor team, confirm that the sound of women screaming and babies crying was heard late at night on both Sunday and Monday. When some of the residents went out to investigate and tried to help, they were shot at by Israeli quadcopter drones. The sounds they had heard were in fact recordings playedby the Israeli drones, with the intent of forcing the camp’s residents out into the streets, where they could be easily targeted by snipers and other weaponry.

According to the testimonies, this tactic also involved broadcasting gunshots, armed conflicts, explosions, military vehicle movements, and occasionally songs in Hebrew and Arabic in order to psychologically intimidate civilians who live amid total darkness at night and total disconnection from the external world.

The Israeli army randomly and systematically targeted anyone in the Nuseirat camp who was simply walking down the street or peering out of windows, and also targeted some civilian residents who were attempting to move between shelter centres and homes or investigate what was going on in the area. The intensity of bombing and shooting operations increases during the course of the night, directly and purposefully targeting populated residential areas, civilian targets, including schools and mosques that house displaced people, as well as the civilian populace with the intention of killing and injuring them.

What's the matter? You can't imagine that Israel can commit crimes against humanity? Is that why you can't trust any independent committee that highlights these things?

[-] Carrolade@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago

They're not independent, if you check the wikipedia article someone else shared. With the UN does not guarantee independence in any way, shape or form.

You mean the Wikipedia article I JUST POSTED in my previous comment?

The one that the very first line says:

Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (commonly known as Euro-Med Monitor and sometimes as Euro-Med HRM[1][2][3][4]) is an independent, nonprofit organization for the protection of human rights.

Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor and its leadership have been described as close to Hamas by Linkiesta and Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Watch.

Also the same article

By who???? Linkiesta and Global Muslim brotherhood daily watch???

What the fuck are those?

Linkiesta's editor is a big fan of Mordechai Richler and the guy behind the GMBDW sounds like an Islamophobe with a conspiracy theorist blog.

Didn't know that was you.

When you click through, you find out:

Ramy Abdu (Arabic: رامي عبده) (or Ramy Abdo[1]) is a Palestinian financial expert

Now, I'm not saying no Palestinians should be trusted. But I certainly wouldn't simply assume some unbiased neutrality here, when his own people are being killed.

Just because someone is with the UN does not guarantee their independence. It depends on the person.
