expert: Hamas did not violate int’l law and settlers are not civilians
[ 04/07/2009 - 10:55 AM ]
BEIRUT, (PIC)-- Dr. Hasan Johnny, a professor
of international law at the Lebanese University, criticized Friday the
report issued by Amnesty International (AI), saying that the Israeli
settlers, living on usurped Palestinian lands, are not civilians and
Hamas did not violate international law in Gaza war.
These remarks came during a seminar held in
Beirut by AI and attended by specialists, jurists and representatives
of Palestinian and Lebanese civil organizations who discussed the
report issued by the organization about Israeli war crimes that also
included accusations against Hamas.
Dr. Johnny said, during his speech, that what
Hamas did was an internationally- recognized military necessity and not
war crimes committed against civilians, adding that the Palestinian
resistance attacked primarily Israeli military targets.
Most of the participants in the seminar
castigated the report and called on AI not to equalize between the
executioner and the victim. They also urged it to take into account the
Israeli crimes committed on the ground regardless of the generality of
international legal texts.
For its part, AI tried to defend its
position, specifically its reported accusations against Hamas, where
its regional director Ahmed Kar’ood said that the international
humanitarian law rejects the targeting of civilians, but he hailed
Hamas for its cooperation with the UN fact-finding committee.
In the same context, the popular resistance
committees strongly denounced AI for equalizing between the executioner
and the victim and holding Hamas responsible for the last Israeli war.
The movement said that such reports confirmed
that some international institutions are associated with a Zionist
agenda, promote Israel ’s policies and justify its crimes, adding that
the report gave Israel more excuses for the targeting of civilians.
The movement called on the international
institutions and the free people of the world to stand in the face of
the global Zionism and the Zionist crimes committed against the
Palestinian people, so as not to be false witnesses to these crimes.
