My letter to the Economist RE Israel in the dock, A report by a UN body controversially chastises Israel’s government and its army for their actions

RE: Israel in the dock, A report by a UN body controversially chastises Israel’s government and its army for their actions during the war in Gaza earlier this year http://www.economist.com/world/middleeast-africa/displayStory.cfm?story_id=14462427

Dear Editor,

Israel wanted to inflict as much damage as possible on Palestinians trapped in Gaza, in hopes of exasperating the Israel/Palestine conflict rather than ending it.

Fact is, no matter what, chastised or not- Israel must end its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantle the Wall; recognize the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and respect, protect and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
