Really? The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) is an officially recognized independent Palestinian National Society. It enjoys legal personality and is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The Society, which operates in Palestine and the diaspora, is guided by the Geneva Conventions and the Movement’s Fundamental Principles, i.e. Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity and Universality. https://www.palestinercs.org/en/Article/10997/Overview

The Red Crescent Demands International Probe, surely the Israeli should welcome an International Enquiry if as they claim they are innocent of all charges, after all it was only a "mistaken" report by them on what happened on the 23rd of March.

Bit like you lapping up all the IDF, Israeli propaganda with no independent investigation or corroboration.

Says it all for me.

So you claim something then when you are challenged about it resort to childish behaviour. The Red Crescent society's president Dr Younes al-Khatib rejected the military's accusation that Hamas operatives were among those killed, saying it had failed "to prove even once in 50 years that the Red Crescent or its crew carry or use weapons". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0r5zz0gd0no

Please show the numerous times that Hamas has used ambulances to transport themselves and weapons. Are you saying the IDF made a mistake and lied about it, to cover up what, a war crime?

Youth

One is a War Crime, and the other is also a War Crime, I'll grant you this, one is a Terrorist atrocity and the other is by a supposedly civilised, highly moral army that is out of control.

Great analysis, lets hope for some real change from all the carnage.

Thing is it's not about your views on this incident or mine, my stated opinion is from one video found at the scene 14 days after the event, yes I would love to see a full independent enquiry into this whole sorry business, but how many more IDF mistakes must the Palestinians/Aid Workers/Journalists/Medical Staff suffer before the World wakes up to all these atrocities perpetrated by both sides, people are dying and to me not enough people care, especially the Israeli's and there supporters. Yes, what Hamas did on the 7th was an Atrocity and a War Crime, but what's happening here is just as bad in my opinion.

All very good points in defence of the Israeli Defence Forces but you would not have said a thing about the indiscriminate targeting and killing of Red Crescent medics if that video had not been found, true or false? At a news conference in the occupied West Bank on Monday, the society's president Dr Younes al-Khatib called for an independent international investigation into the incident and for those responsible to be held accountable. "We'll pursue this issue until the end. For us, these 15 men represent all those who were killed for the sake of saving lives, for the sake of humanity," he said. "And justice was not brought to them. We hope this time and through these 15 men, we can bring justice." Khatib dismissed the Israeli military's inquiry, saying the society did not "trust" it to provide all the answers about what happened due to "previous experience". He also rejected the military's accusation that Hamas operatives were among those killed, saying it had failed "to prove even once in 50 years that the Red Crescent or its crew carry or use weapons".

Sadly, that is exactly what this is about, Israel did their normal white wash of events of the 23rd March, proceeded to cover it all in the normal we were fighting Hamas, when in reality they were targeting Palestinian Emergency workers, I don't need to go over all the facts again, Israel have been caught out by their own stupidity and dishonesty. I'm not hopeful that the Israeli's will allow an International investigation as it could open up a right can of worms, as we both know the last thing Israel wants is any western press getting into Gaza and the eyes of the World then seeing what has been happening without the usual Israeli spin. As for me saying they are guilty I fail to see how anyone can get round the evidence found at the scene of the crime, Israel has been found lacking any contrition for their own mistakes, failing to do a complete search of the bodies they created, and making up a complete lie to cover the targeting of the 15 victims, which just goes to show, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Incidentally I posted the original Sky news video being discussed in this post on Sunday at 04.14am: https://aseannow.com/topic/1334581-israel-hamas-war-the-widening-middle-east-conflict/page/19/#comments

Exactly right, lets keep this on topic, Israel has committed War Crimes by actively targeting Red Crescent paramedics and killing 15 emergency workers, then lying about it.

Defending the undefendable, again it has been proved without a doubt by the phone recording recovered from the site that the IDF buried both Red Crescent personnel and vehicles who, again were showing all the necessary emergency lighting etc, that the IDF attacked and targeted indiscriminately.

Where is the proof? The only reliable evidence is that Israel lied about the vehicles not running with emergency lighting, when clearly seconds before the attack the video recovered from the site they were. A definite War Crime.
