Try Again: Issue a real position on Israel's war crimes.

Created by T.S. on July 31, 2015

Israel is committing war crimes, but the White House doesn't want to admit it. Its dismissive language reveals as much in the July 28th, 2015 response to a similar petition:

"...Palestinians deserve an end to the occupation and daily indignities that come with it."

"Indignities" - almost as bad as that time they messed up my haircut and I was embarrassed for a week.

In 2014, Israel conducted a brazen retaliatory bombardment operation against Palestinian civilians in Rafah. Officially intended to recover a captured Israeli officer, it continued on for three days after the officer was confirmed dead. According to outside observers, 135-200+ civilians were killed.

What does the White House think about the bombardment of Rafah? Does this qualify as more than an "indignity?"
