"Richard Falk, a special U.N. investigator sent to the Middle East by the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council, has said there was evidence that Israel committed war crimes in the Gaza Strip and there should be an independent inquiry.
Falk, who is Jewish, has compared the situation in Gaza to that of the Warsaw Ghetto during the World War Two, where the Nazis systematically starved and murdered Jews. Israel denies committing any war crimes during its assault on Gaza.
Israel killed some 1,300 Palestinians, many of them civilians, and wounded 5,000 in the war. Palestinians killed 10 Israeli soldiers and three civilians, hit by cross-border rocket fire.
AbuZayd told the council she had seen in Gaza "what appears to have been systematic destruction to schools, universities, residential buildings, factories, shops and farms."
The Hague still open for business?
