UN Commissioner: violence Israel was excessive

geneva - The violence that the Israeli army has used against protesting Palestinians on the border of Gaza is 'out of all proportion,' says UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ra'ad al-Hussein. At a UN meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, he stated that residents of the Gaza Strip were 'imprisoned in a toxic slum from their birth until their death.'

The Jordanian prince pleaded for an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory. Protests were completely out of hand last Monday. The army shot about sixty Palestinian demonstrators.

But according to the Israeli UN ambassador Aviva Raz Shechter, Israel has done everything to keep the number of victims as low as possible. She outlined that Israel had to defend its borders against 'terrorists from Gaza' and blamed the Islamists of Hamas who are in charge of the massacre. They would have misused citizens as a 'human shield. '

The meeting will discuss, among other things, whether an investigation must be conducted into the violence.
