Rights groups call on Israel to open Gaza crossings
Eight Israeli human rights organizations called on outgoing Defense Minister Amir Peretz and coordinator of government activities in the territories, Maj.-Gen, Yosef Mishlav Sunday to open Gaza's border crossings and allow Palestinians to enter Israel.I'm not aware how much torture occurs in Israel, but safe to say it's far less than what goes on in Hamastan.
The groups that have signed the appeal are Gisha: The Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, B'Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights, Hamoked: Center for the Defense of the Individual, Yesh Din, Rabbis for Human Rights and the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel.
In their letter, the groups wrote that the Israeli government must open the crossings in order to prevent a humanitarian disaster from developing in Gaza. "Hundreds of refugees are locked between the closed Erez crossing and a group of Hamas members who are preventing them from returning to Gaza.Too damn bad. They voted for Hamas so they can live with their choice.
"Injured and sick people are locked up inside Gaza. Basic provisions are running out, and the shortage in vital medical equipment is worsening. The State of Israel cannot stand idly by while the basic human rights of Gaza's residents are being violated, and the lives of some of them are threatened."
Besides, why should the Israelis voluntarily import people who want to kill them?
