On 27 December 2008, without warning, Israeli forces began a devastating bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip codenamed Operation “Cast Lead”. Its stated aim was to end rocket attacks into Israel by armed groups affiliated with Hamas and other Palestinian factions.
By 18 January 2009 some 1,400 Palestinians had been killed and large areas of Gaza had been razed to the ground. Amnesty International believes that the deaths of so many unarmed civilians and the manner in which they came under attack demand a thorough, independent and impartial investigation into the conduct of all parties in the conflict.
We, the undersigned, call on the UN to accuse Israel of committing war crimes in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
To condemn reckless shooting, shelling and air strikes in civilian areas and excessive use of force.
To also condemn the violence by Jewish settlers.
