The United States is appalled by today’s disgraceful shelling outside an UNRWA school in Rafah sheltering some 3,000 displaced persons, in which at least ten more Palestinian civilians were tragically killed. ….

The suspicion that militants are operating nearby does not justify strikes that put at risk the lives of so many innocent civilians. We call for a full and prompt investigation of this incident as well as the recent shelling of other UNRWA schools.



Yet when the US bombs a hospital..

Medical aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) on Sunday demanded an independent international inquiry into a suspected U.S. air strike that killed 22 people in an Afghan hospital it runs, branding the attack a “war crime”.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter promised a full investigation into whether the American military was connected to the destruction of the hospital, but cautioned it would take time to gather information.

I want to know where all the leftist are today. They should, if they had any integrity, be demanding that Obama be brought up on war-crime charges for the attacking of a hospital and the deaths of doctors and patients.

Maybe there should be a BDS (Boycott Divest Sanction) the U.S. State Department proposal?

I regularly read the State Department Press Briefings - they post them in Video & the Transcript.
This question was the 1st question of the day - State Department had nothing to say.

He and the other haters won't touch this one.
The State Dept double standard is so glaringly obvious, outrageous, and indefensible.

In fact it's not just the State Dept. Incredibly, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today called for an "investigation" into the deaths of three Palestinian terrorists who were killed while they were attacking Israelis in three separate incidents. He said absolutely nothing about the four Israeli civilian VICTIMS who were murdered in the last six days. They included a mother and father who were shot to death in their car in front of their four children in the back seat, a rabbi, and a good Samaritan who tried to stop another murdering spree. Many have been wounded including six today in separate attacks.

Palestinian terrorists are on the rampage, glorified as heroes in Palestinian society, and condoned by the UN.
Double standards galore!
