From both sides in the Israeli - Gaza conflict, human rights abuses are exactly that. You can't dress it up any other way.
Clearly, what is increasingly becoming obvious is that Israel is guilty of reckless retaliation, and Hamas is the purist of evil.
A terrorist organisation that not only is hellbent on destroying Israel and killing its citizens, but also prepared to use Palestinians as pawns and human collateral to attain its macabre goals.
You can't blame Israel for reacting like it did following the senseless mass killing spree which sparked this war, but that, as appalling as it was, does not give Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's military any right whatsoever to circumnavigate United Nations human rights accords and the Geneva convention and continue to target the average Palestinian.
Israel does have every right though to send in specially trained military personnel into Gaza, along with artillery, with the express purpose of annihilating every single enclave that Hamas is using to launch rockets and plot all manner of other malicious attacks against Israel.
Hamas is not Palestine. That is what is most forgotten about in this senseless, crazy, futile, bloody war.
