Israel was guilty of war crimes, because it repeatedly launched attacks with the knowledge that the number of civilian casualties was likely to be disproportionate to the military gains.

NAVI PILLAY, UN RIGHTS BODY CHIEF

There seems to be a strong possibility that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes.

JIMMY CARTER & MARY ROBINSON, EX-PRESIDENTS OF US AND IRELAND There is no humane or legal justification for the way the Israeli Defence Forces are conducting this war. Israeli bombs, missiles, and artillery have pulverized large parts of Gaza, including thousands of homes, schools, and hospitals. More than 250,000 people have been displaced from their homes in Gaza. Hundreds of Palestinian non-combatants have been killed. Much of Gaza has lost access to water and electricity completely. This is a humanitarian catastrophe. There is never an excuse for deliberate attacks on civilians in conflict. These are war crimes.
