I am writing with regard to the article “Israel committed war crimes in Gaza: Amnesty” (Dec. 10). Israeli war crimes during the recent Gaza attacks were not hidden from the international community. These attacks were not for the purpose of defense, which was favored and praised by the US, but were merely a brutal attempt to kill Palestinians and to destroy Palestine. Israeli war crimes must be independently and impartially investigated and Israel must be brought to justice under international law and must be punished. Provide justice to Palestinians.
