    The Israeli military has released details of an investigation into its own killing of 15 Palestinian paramedics and aid workers in Gaza last month, saying its code of ethics was not violated and only one soldier is dismissed, in an attack that sparked outrage in the international community.

    The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the Israeli rights organisation Breaking the Silence rejected the findings of the Israeli probe on Sunday.

    Israel says Gaza medics’ killing a ‘mistake,’ to dismiss commander

    An Israeli military probe into the killing of 15 Palestinian emergency workers in Gaza admitted Sunday that mistakes led to their deaths and that a field commander would be dismissed.

    But the probe found no evidence of “indiscriminate fire” by the troops.

    The medics and other rescue workers were killed when responding to distress calls near the southern Gaza city of Rafah early on March 23, just days into Israel’s renewed offensive in the Hamas-run territory.

    The incident has drawn…

    By Ramzy Baroud  

    The fact that France would be among the last group of countries in the world to formally recognize Palestine, speaks volumes about France’s apparent attempt to belatedly align itself with the prevailing global consensus.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vehement opposition to a Palestinian state aligns perfectly with a long-standing Zionist ideology that has consistently viewed…
