B´Tselem: Israel deceives misleading, lying, and obscuring facts

Haggai El-Ad, director general of the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B´Tselem), said that Israel and its executive and “security” apparatus have the right to mislead, obscure facts, pun and lying, to escape those involved from punishment and deny victims the right to compensation.

 

In a statement issued by "B´Tselem" on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the center, Al-Adad explained, "Today, the function of the Military Law Enforcement Agency is to investigate specific events and focus on officials in lower positions and suspects of acting contrary to orders, which means that the agency does not examine the legality of the instructions." Issued to the soldiers, and it is not investigated with those who drafted the orders and those who approved them and does not consider the responsibility of those who set the policy, and since there is no other body that achieves, all those responsible for these orders are exempt from responsibility in advance. "

 

He said, "During the thirty years of work since the inception of the center, we learned that there is no Palestinian victim, the Israeli obliteration system is unable to obliterate the crime against her with a talent, and whenever we began investigating a case, we did not find the file, so the actor is unknown."

 

He continued: "There is almost no single aspect in the lives of the Palestinians that Israel does not arbitrarily submit to its orders, and we learned that the demographic engineering of the space can be an official government policy, and that the Palestinian may go to sleep at night and rise in the morning to find a wall that has been erected between him and his city, and may open His eyes are on soldiers standing in the middle of his bedroom and then instructing him to wake his children from their sleep, and that the Palestinian woman may wake up from her sleep with Israeli missiles that crush her house and family. "

 

Al-Ad added, "We learned that the world will not stop Israel from what it is doing if it does so gradually, and if it invokes security and anti-Semitism, but there are other things we have learned which are that the Palestinians are wedded to life and cling to the land, and that our human craving for justice has not and will not fade even after realizing the lack of opportunities It can be achieved, and that Israel can try to suppress the facts and silence criticism, but awakening and recognition of reality are inevitably coming, and that the day the world will realize that the occupation cannot be removed by directing polite appeals to the occupier but rather with decisive and determined international steps is inevitably coming.

"We learned that one million times it can be said that these lands are not occupied, that the settlements are legitimate, that Gaza is not besieged, and that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people, but drinking from this well of lies does not change the reality."

 

He continued: "Thousands of victims have documented B´Tselem´s murders, thousands of files in the names of the dead and wounded, and beatings and abuse, all obscured by the hands of the Israeli state services, obedient and well trained agencies to carry out this mission."

 

And he stated that "Israel´s policy regarding accountability and accountability is fundamentally different, and its aim is to keep the state and those working on its behalf immune from paying any price for the violence they practiced, yet Israel does not recognize that this is its approach, but rather claims to act in accordance with the provisions of international law."

 

Examination of the performance of the "Military Law Enforcement Agency", according to B´Tselem´s statement, shows that the apparatus "fails even to carry out the limited mission entrusted to it, and in many cases the military prosecutor decides not to open a criminal investigation and explains its decision sometimes not to cause the violation, on the pretext that he killed The Palestinians were involved in combat operations, giving the soldiers an exemption from criminal investigations, and in the event that the investigation unit in the Military Police begins the investigation, it administers it superficially and without any serious pursuit of the truth. "

 

"The Palestinian cannot submit a complaint or testimony in front of the aforementioned agency, and every complaint lasts for months and even years, during which the accused soldiers have been discharged from service and the military law does not apply to them," B´Tselem explained in its statement.

 

"From 2000 to 2015, the foundation filed 739 cases in which Palestinians from the occupied territories were victims of violations committed by members of the security forces, and in a quarter of these cases, the military prosecutor did not open an investigation file at all. In about half of it, the investigation file was closed without reaching Something, and only in 25 cases have indictments been brought against soldiers involved in marginal violations. "
