Letters For Palestine

Picture

IDF use of High Velocity Tear Gas Canisters

Background
  • Palestinians carry out Protests over Israel’s theft of Palestinian Land and forcing Palestinians out of the Homes and Lands
  • The Israeli Military confront these protests 
  • Israel has developed a “High Velocity Tear Gas Canister” which enables the Israeli Soldiers to fire the tear gas over longer distances.
  • The issue is that the Israeli Soldiers often use these High Velocity Tear Gas Canisters by firing them directly into the heads of Palestinian Protesters at Close range.
  • The result is that many Palestinians have been Killed or Maimed by the Israeli Military use of firing High velocity Tear Gas canisters directly at the heads of Palestinians at close range
  • The Israeli Military does not carry out investigations into these killings and Maimings. 
  • This ignoring of the misuse of the High Velocity Tear Gas Canisters means that the use of them in this way by Israeli soldiers is defacto approved by the Israeli Military and Israeli Government.
  • The Israeli Use of High Velocity tear Gas Canisters needs to be stopped
  • Investigations into the deaths and maimings that have occurred need to be investigated and Prosecutions undertaken. If not by Israel, by the International Criminal court at the Hague.

​Subject: IDF use of High Velocity Tear Gas Canisters as Lethal weapons

Dear Mr Peters

I have recently come across information that the Israeli Military carry out the use of High Velocity Tear Gas Canisters as Lethal weapons in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmLuBLsnFbs 
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gO19VwY8Gk
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29sVUfwsOV4 
  • http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Israel-clears-soldier-in-Palestinians-death-from-tear-gas-shot-334196  

My understanding is that the UN recognizes that the Palestinian Territories of the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza are “Occupied Territories” and therefore come under the 4th Geneva Convention.
4th Geneva Convention - https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/applic/ihl/ihl.nsf/Treaty.xsp?documentId=AE2D398352C5B028C12563CD002D6B5C&action=openDocument 
My understanding that under the 4th Geneva Convention, the actions mentioned above goes against International Conventions and therefore International Law.

The specific convention is as follows:
4th Geneva Convention - Article 27: “Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs. They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity.
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/applic/ihl/ihl.nsf/Article.xsp?action=openDocument&documentId=FFCB180D4E99CB26C12563CD0051BBD9 

An argument can therefore be made that the Politicians of the Government of Israel and the Military Hierarchy of Israel have contravened International Law and therefore are War Criminals.

My questions are these:
  1. Does our country support the 4th Geneva Convention - Article 27?
  2. Does our country agree that Israeli actions in regards to 4th Geneva Convention  - Article 27 contravene International Conventions?
  3. Does our country agree that Israeli actions in regards to 4th Geneva Convention  - Article 27 contravene International Law?
  4. If Israel is in contravention of International Law, what will our country do to bring this War Crime to International Attention or to the attention of the International Criminal Court at the Hague? Please note that there is “Universal Jurisdiction” for War Crimes and there are “No Statute of Limitations” to War Crimes. Our country has the right to take any identified War Crime to the ICC at any time.


I look forward to your response on behalf of our country's government to my questions above.

Kind regards
