British human rights activist Eva Yesovitch said that Israel committed war crimes of unspeakable cruelty during its war on the Gaza Strip.
In a press statement to the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza published on Sunday, Yesovitch added that the Israeli troops targeted all Palestinians, affirming that the suffering of Gaza people is escalating due to this war and the ongoing blockade on the Strip.
She also talked about the massacres Israel committed throughout its history, stressing that the Palestinian people would achieve victory because they have a strong will to preserve their legitimate right to their land.
The activist pointed out that the Polish people support the Palestinian people’s right to struggle against the occupation.
In the same context, the British Independent newspaper published on Sunday a report prepared by its reporter Donald MacIntyre, to mark the Israeli war on Gaza last December "which left hundreds of innocent civilians dead".
“If the timing was a surprise, the unprecedented ferocity of the onslaught on Hamas-controlled Gaza was even more so. More than two weeks into the war, the Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni would boast in a radio interview that ‘Israel ... is a country that when you fire on its citizens it responds by going wild – and this is a good thing’, MacIntyre underlined.
The report which is under the headline, “Gaza one year on: The aftermath of a tragedy” tells the stories of some Gazans who lost their loved ones during the war and find themselves unable to continue their lives.
The reporter cited as an example the story of a Palestinian citizen called Hilmi Samouni (26) who found himself after one year of the tragedy unable to adapt to the new life and return to his old job as a kitchen assistant in the Palmyra restaurant in Gaza city after he witnessed the killing of his parents, wife and six-month-old baby Mohamed.
The report pointed out that the tragedy of Al-Samouni family is one of more than 20 events being allegedly investigated by the Israeli military police, adding that so far only one soldier has faced trial for stealing a Palestinian's credit card.
