Sunny Hostin: Israel Is Committing War Crimes by Targeting Civilians and Civilian Infrastructure

‘Those are not my words, those are the words of the law’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HOSTIN:" No, I just -- I look at it from a legal perspective. And I think we all know that Hamas has been designated a terror organization, just like many other terror organizations have this designation, like the Proud Boys here in the United States. But I do think that what we need to remember is that there is an international human rights body of law. And when you look at that law, part of it is retaliation against innocent civilians collectively is also terror and is also a war crime. And, again, those are not my words, those are the words of the law. And the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said just last year, when we were all talking about Ukraine, she said, 'Russia’s attacks against civilian infrastructure, especially electricity, are war crimes. Cutting off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming, these are acts of pure terror and we have to call it as such.' And so what I’m seeing is, yes, I think those that are around, the other Arab countries, Israel actually bombed the only exit out of Palestine to Egypt.”
