International law obligates Israel to fulfill its occupying power obligations. So do numerous UN resolutions about respecting Fourth Geneva and other human rights and humanitarian law provisions.
Israel spurns all international laws with impunity, including to nondiscrimination, work, housing, property, healthcare, education, and environmental health. They get away with it because world leaders don't enforce accountability.
A Final Comment
On November 30, the Palestinian Center for Human Right (PCHR) noted that December 3 marks UN International Day of Disabled Persons (IDoDP).
In 1992, the General Assembly proclaimed it to stress respecting, advocating and protecting their rights globally.
Nonetheless, disabled Palestinians are abused, not protected. Since January, Israeli soldiers killed two disabled children, saying they encroached too close to Israel's border. Testimonial evidence refutes it.
Moreover, one child suffered from partial mental disability and speech impediments. Yet, 400 meters inside Gaza, ten bullets, mostly to the head, killed him. Shrapnel from an Israeli shell killed the second one. He was 300 meters from Israel's border.
Since the beginning of the September 2000 second Intifada, Israeli soldiers killed 89 disabled Palestinians, including 15 children and seven women. They also wounded at least another 105.
