From this point on the identity of the submitter bears no importance for our study, our subject is the submissions’ content and the Goldstone Mission’s way of handling them.

Any allegations regarding offences committed by IDF personnel are dealt with through this multi-tiered system, including allegations regarding improper conduct on the battlefield. written by Michal Moreno Consistent with the principle of distinction, IDF forces attacked military targets directly connected to Hamas and other terrorist organizations' military activities against Israel. IDF forces targeted Hamas rocket launchers written by Michal Moreno The IDF's emphasis on compliance with the Law of Armed Conflict was directly incorporated into the rules of engagement for the Gaza operation. The operational order emphasized four guiding principles: military necessity, distinction, proportionality and humanity. written by Michal Moreno Far from taking measures to protect Palestinian civilians during the fighting in Gaza, Hamas forces prevented humanitarian relief, written by Michal Moreno On the eve of the operation in Gaza, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a specific meeting with representatives of the ICRC and other organizations to establish clear channels of cooperation, and to ensure the continuing flow of humanitarian supplies and medical assistance to Gaza during the operation. written by Michal Moreno What other war crimes did Hamas commit against its own people? written by Michal Moreno The Law of Armed Conflict not only prohibits targeting an enemy's civilians; it also requires parties to an armed conflict to distinguish their combatant forces from their own civilians, and not to base operations in or near civilian structures, especially protected sites such as schools, medical facilities and places of worship written by Michal Moreno Both prior to and during the IDF operation in Gaza, Hamas flouted the Law of Armed Conflict, terrorizing Israeli citizens through an endless barrage of rocket and mortar attacks, and deliberately using Palestinian civilians, as well as protected U.N., educational, medical, administrative and religious facilities, as a cover for its operations. written by Michal Moreno According to the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, in addition to the obligation to refrain from acts that would harm civilians disproportionately in relation to anticipated military advantage, both parties to a conflict are required to take "feasible" precautions to minimize incidental loss of civilian life... written by Michal Moreno In its fight to defend itself against Hamas attacks against its civilians, Israel is faced with moral challenges unprecedented in their complexity. Hamas, as a basic element of its strategy, exploits the Palestinian population as shields for its terrorist operations and infrastructure. This cynical strategy include the following tactics: written by Michal Moreno In addition to the principle of distinction, customary international law bars military attacks that are anticipated to harm civilians excessively in relation to the expected military advantage. This is known as the "principle of proportionality. written by Michal Moreno The determination of what a lawful "military objective" is turns on an assessment of "military advantage." It is defined as "objects which… make an effective contribution to military action and whose partial or total destruction, capture or neutralization…offers a definite military advantage. written by Michal Moreno Even where resort to force is justified, as it was for Israel in responding to heightened attacks by Hamas, customary law limits the manner in which a state can exercise force. The principle of distinction and the principle of proportionality are both designed to protect civilians, while taking into account the military necessities and the exigencies of the situation written by Michal Moreno After exhausting all other alternatives, the IDF launched a military operation on December 27, 2008, which was limited to two objectives: to stop the bombardment of Israeli civilians by destroying Hamas' mortar and rocket launching apparatus and infrastructure, and to reduce the ability of Hamas and other terrorist organizations in Gaza to perpetrate future attacks. written by Michal Moreno The applicable legal framework for assessing the recent operations in Gaza is the "Law of Armed Conflict," also known as "International Humanitarian Law." written by Michal Moreno Neither Israel's diplomatic overtures, nor its pleas to the international community, nor sanctions imposed by numerous countries, were able to stop the rocket attacks. written by Michal Moreno Since 2000, Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations have been perpetrating terrorist attacks against Israel, including suicide bombings in the heart of Israeli cities, shooting attacks on vehicles... written by Michal Moreno 1.
