Elder of ZiyonBy now, with the Iranian missile hits in Bat Yam, Ramat Gan, Tamra, Rishon LeTzion and elsewhere, that Iran is aiming at least as much at civilian areas as at military targets. It missiles are accurate and Iran itself claims that its uses missiles that can be steered when they re-enter the atmosphere. The damage done to the buildings that have been hit come from direct explosions, not merely kinetic energy of large parts of a missile speeding towards the ground after being hit by Israeli defenses.
The first Israeli civilian death was on June 13, so it has been over 3 days since Israelis have had to hide in shelters since Iran is aiming at them.
If Iran is aiming at residential areas, it is performing war crimes. If its missiles are inaccurate, then they are guilty of firing the missiles indiscriminately, which is still against international law and a human rights violation.
And yet, not a word from Amnesty International nor Human Rights Watch and Iran killing two dozen Israeli civilians, from young children to senior citizens.
We've seen this show before, and I made a cartoon explaining how Amnesty and HRW treat situations like this where Israeli civilians are being targeted:
This is their playbook. They refuse to condemn anyone who targets Jews until they can primarily blame Israel for targeting civilians, true or not.
They then write reports about the supposed Israeli war crimes, treating sketchy "witnesses" as reliable. And in the middle of the report, they will mention in a throwaway sentence, "We also condemn indiscriminate Iranian missile attacks."
That way they can claim to be "even handed."
These Iranian attacks are of the type that both HRW and Amnesty would quickly and clearly condemn anywhere else in the world. But when Jews are victims, they bend over backwards to find ways to exonerate the murderers and to blame the victims.
