Gaza, July 31, 2009, (Pal Telegraph) - The Israeli Foreign Ministry has released a detailed report in defense of Tel Aviv's three-week-long all-out offensive on the Gaza Strip.
The report, published on Thursday, claims that Israel had "both a right and an obligation to take military action" against the blockaded people of Gaza in response to Hamas rockets fired into Israel, Haaretz reported.
In the 163-page document, entitled 'The Operation in Gaza - Factual and Legal Aspects,' Tel-Aviv admits for the first time that the Israeli army used munitions containing white phosphorous in Gaza.
Despite the existence of proof in form of pictures, soldiers' testimonies, and the victims' medical records, Tel Aviv had been denying the use of controversial chemical white phosphorous shells and depleted uranium munitions, claiming that it had fought a 'noble war' in the sliver.
Intentional killing of civilians, bombing of residential areas, shelling of a UN school-turned-refugee-camp, are among other human rights violations that Tel Aviv is accused of committing during the war on Gaza.
According to the report, Israel is conducting investigations into 100 complaints, including 13 criminal investigations after inquiries from UN and human rights groups.

(As I stated before)
Violence causes new violence, hate generates new hate...
The NAZI caused a grave injustice and committed an inexcusable atrocity onto several groups of people the Jews where one of their main victims.
The Jews that survived this horror went on to Palestine and forced a new State into existence named Israel, and this with out respecting the Native population, they committed a new injustice out of their pain and fears wish has generated hate and anger with in the Native Palestinian that fought back with generating hate and fear again.
The cycle has to be broken in order for peace to take roots and prosper.
Palestine has as much a rights to the land of Israel as the European and American Immigrants do today or rather their children that where born there.
Ideally the whole area should become a Republic, meaning a Federal Republic that is based on laic laws and includes all the territories and people. Giving all equal rights and prospects.
The Roman called it Palestine and so did the Greek and European after that as well as the Arab Kingdoms and today's Nations.
There for it should be the Federal Republic of Palestine with a State or department called Israel as it was in Roman times.
All Jews, Christian and Muslim of that area have a right to exist and strive and to live in peace.
This peace can only be with in a State that is laic and that is inclusive of all groups concerned with out discrimination.
