Israeli Cattle Ranch Decimated by Hamas Rocket; 30 Cows Dead (VIDEO)
by Joshua Levitt
An Israeli cattle ranch was decimated by a Hamas rocket on Monday, with video aired by Israel’s Arutz Sheva TV now showing the eerie and macabre scene.
Last week, a Hamas rocket destroyed an Israeli chicken farm, killing thousands of animals.
Blogger Elder of Ziyon flagged the video on Wednesday, noting that when Israel destroyed a chicken coop in 2009’s Operation Cast Lead, it was condemned by a United Nations committee. Although there were military grounds for removing the chicken coop, the Goldstone Report said Israel violated “article 1 the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and article 12 (2) of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.”
The laws prohibit attacks on a nation’s food supply.
On Wednesday, the blogger asked, “Will human rights groups say that Hamas is violating the same treaties they accuse Israel of violating?”
“No,” he said, “and for good reason: Hamas wasn’t aiming at the cows. It is aiming at Israeli civilians. So the food supply was only accidentally destroyed in pursuit of murdering people.”
“Hamas is safe from worrying about the UN going after it,” the blogger concluded. “Incidentally, this shows a small example of what many populated sites in Israel would look like if Iron Dome wasn’t protecting people. And this was a small rocket.”
