I progressisti utopisti non sono persone per bene sviate da entusiasmi eccessivi che annebbiano la vista; sono pericolosi nemici dell'umanità

Dove stanno di casa i diritti umani

Probabilmente non nel democratico stato di Israele, ma ben mimetizzati tra i poveri civili libanesi (usati come scudo) e gli Hezbollah (lancianti missili).
Almeno è quello che si conclude leggendo questa notizia.

UN Human Rights Council names experts to probe Israeli civilian killings in Lebanon

1 September 2006 – The United Nations Human Rights Council today named three members of the High-Level Commission of Inquiry probing what the Geneva-based body termed “systematic targeting and killings of civilians by Israel” in Lebanon.
The three experts are: Clemente Baena Soares of Brazil, a former Secretary-General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Mohamed Chande Othman, a judge on the Supreme Court of Tanzania, and Stelios Perrakis of Greece, who is the Director of the European Centre for Research and Training on Human Rights and Humanitarian Action.
The High-Level Commission of Inquiry was established in August by a resolution of the Council which mandated it to investigate the systematic targeting and killings of civilians by Israel, examine the types of weapons used by Israel and their conformity with international law, and assess the extent and deadly impact of Israeli attacks on human life, property, critical infrastructure and environment.
The resolution, which was adopted by a vote of 27 in favour to 11 against with 8 abstentions, strongly condemned the “grave Israeli violations of human rights and breaches of international humanitarian law in Lebanon” and called on Israel “to observe the principle of proportionality and refrain from launching any attack that may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life.”

Come al solito, con tutto quello che succede in giro per il mondo, la prima preoccupazione è trovare il margine di errore degli Israeliani (profittando magari del fatto che sotto una pioggia di missili si rimane un poco offuscati). Il resto, se c'è, può attendere.
