Your letters:  Human rights violations in Gaza

I

sraeli human rights violations and the brutal use of force against unarmed civilians have become big challenges for the conscience of the modern world and human rights organizations.

According to the news media, the Israeli government has imposed a travel ban on Norwegian surgeon and human rights activist Mads Gilberts.

Gilbert was working in Gaza'€™s Al Shifa hospital  during the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Gilbert  openly criticized the Zionist'€™s brutal use of force against a civilian population. More than 600 children lost their lives in Gaza and 80 percent of medical facilities in Gaza have been changed into rubble and are not functioning. Israel has also announced a 20-year sentence for stone-throwing children in Gaza.

Now the demolition of suspected militants'€™ homes ordered by the Israeli prime minister is widely criticized by human rights organizations and is against the Geneva Convention. According to human rights organizations, Israel is using capital punishment as a weapon of war.

The true reality is that Israeli war aggression has made US Secretary of State John Kerry'€™s recent Middle East visits and peace plans big  jokes for peace in the region.

Despite world condemnation, illegal Israeli settlements are still continuing in occupied areas and things are going from bad to worse everywhere.
