Sidoti: ‘The Israeli Army is One of The Most Criminal Armies in The World’

Chris Sidoti is a of the members of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, speaking on the sidelines of the Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva. The Committee headed by Navi Pillay, was presenting its findings to the UN Council, Wednesday, 19 June, 2024 and looked on the legality of the Israeli army’s conduct in Gaza. He said:

“…You mention the Israeli army is the most moral army in the world. I mean this is something that is said repeatedly by the current prime minister of Israel, [Benjamin] Netanyahu. On one recent occasion, he walked it back a bit and he said one of the most moral armies in the world.”

Now I don’t have the expertise and I don’t have the authority to make assessments of morality. Netanyahu may, but I don’t.

…I don’t know whether its’s one of the most moral armies in the world or not but what I do have expertise in, and what I do have an authority to do is make assessments of criminal conduct.

And we’ve done that in relation to the recent events and you can see that in the report. And the only conclusion you can draw is that the Israeli army is one of the most criminal armies in the world,” he concluded.

Jerusalem’s Mamilla in The 1940s

From Rashed Abu Aisheh:

This is Julian Street in the Mamilla neighborhood of the city of Jerusalem. The photo was taken during the 1940s. To the right is the Mamilla Cemetery. Mamilla is one of the neighborhoods of Jerusalem that expanded beyond the walls of the Old City, west of Jaffa Gate, at the end of the 19th century. Before the end of the 19th century, the area had few landmarks, including the cemetery and some monasteries. The Mamilla area witnessed rapid urban changes during the British Mandate period as part of British policies to design neighborhoods according to the European style. These changes continued after the Israeli occupation of the city, which continued to alter the character of Arab Jerusalem, a process that continues to this day. The Mamilla neighborhood, or Mamilla, was home to one of the most important modern wholesale and retail markets in the city during the Mandate period…
