“Thousands Attend Funeral of Palestinian Medic Killed by Israeli Army in Gaza Protest …
Thousands of Palestinians are attending Saturday the funeral of a volunteer medic killed by Israeli soldiers during protests along the Gaza border fence on Friday. The funeral procession for Razan Najjar, 21, departed from her hometown of Khuza’a and will conclude in a cemetery in Khan Yunis.
According to Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Jawad Awaad, Najjar was shot in the neck. “This is a war crime,” he said Friday, saying Najjar was shot while clearly wearing a medical staff uniform. Earlier that day, Najjar gave an interview in which she took pride in the aid she was providing for the wounded, Awaad added.
Speaking at a convention in Wadi Ara on Saturday, Israeli-Arab lawmaker Ahmad Tibi (Joint List) called Najjar’s killing “a heinous war crime,” adding that the U.S. and its envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley, who vetoed the Security Council resolution for “international protection” for the Palestinians, bear responsibility for Najjar’s death.
Another 40 people were reported wounded during Friday’s protest along the Gaza border. Since the confrontations along the border of May 14, the number of participants has fallen dramatically, and Hamas and other Palestinian factions have set June 5 as the date for a march by tens of thousands to mark 51 years since the Six-Day War, known as Nakba Day by the Palestinians. …”

It IS a war crime. But Bensouda is sitting on her butt wrt Palestine. Oh wait, this is what she said last November on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women:
“…Today, as Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, in strict accordance with the Court’s founding treaty, the Rome Statute, and on the strength of my Office’s Policy on Sexual and Gender-based Crimes and on Children, I reiterate my commitment, as well as that of my Office, to do everything we can, within our mandate and means, to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators of grave crimes against women and children. We count on the support of the Court’s States Parties and the internationality community in the discharge of our mandate.
We must address reprehensible crimes perpetrated against women and girls in times of conflict. It is a collective responsibility. Our humanity demands it. ”

Come on Fatou~ how much longer must the Palestinians wait??? Don’t you believe your eyes and ears and brain as this massacre and brutal violence continues?
The US is more than complicit at this point. Nikki Haley is a disgrace to the nation. It’s hard to believe she’s a mother.
