(Jerusalem Post) Danielle Greyman-Kennard - Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, spoke with Ynet's Bar Shem-Ur on Tuesday. After Alsalem commented on reports that Israel is committing "war crimes, crimes against humanity, and an unfolding genocide," Shem-Ur commented, "but Israeli cities and Israeli schools are also being bombarded every single day." Alsalem responded, "Every single day? If that is the case, I would recommend that you also send that information to the special rapporteur so that we can look into it." "Don't you see the reports?" Shem-Ur asked. "Don't you see the missiles coming from the north by Hizbullah and from the south by Hamas?" "At this point, I have not seen that, no," Alsalem confirmed. On the same day, 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Kiryat Shmona, with 17 falling in open areas and 13 intercepted by air defenses. On Monday, one person was killed and 7 others wounded by a Hizbullah anti-tank missile fired at Moshav Margaliot. Alsalem authored a report accusing the IDF of sexually abusing Palestinian women and abducting their babies. Asked where she got her information, she said it had come from sources she could not cite and Euro-Med. Euro-Med is reportedly run by anti-Israel conspiracist Richard Falk, who claimed that Israel was responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing.
