Palestinian human rights activist Raji Al-Sourani has disclosed Wednesday that at least 86 "Israeli" military officers are now wanted by a number of western courts for their role in the onslaught on the Gaza Strip.

In a forum held -in this regard- in the Egyptian capital Cairo, Sourani accused the European governments of adopting unfair stand over the "Israeli" massacres in the Gaza Strip, stating that such behavior would bring the world back to the "law of the jungle."

He said that a number of lawsuits were filed by international human rights organizations against "Israeli" military officers before courts in Britain, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Spain, over their role in the brutal war on Gaza, underlining that 86 of those officers are now wanted by those courts.

"The Palestinian human rights organizations will keep on chasing those "Israeli" war criminals, and they will not forgive or forget what the "Israeli" occupation army had done in Gaza", Sourani stressed.

According to Sourani, the "Israeli holocaust" in Gaza was the bloodiest and most brutal onslaught in the "Israeli" occupation's history in Palestine, adding that the Palestinian legal groups were relentlessly documenting those crimes to use them against the "Israeli" officials.

Moreover, Sourani deprecated Europe for not doing anything to curb the "Israeli" criminal activities against the Palestinian civilians in Gaza, stressing, "We aren't relying too much on the American stand because we know it is biased for "Israel", but we blame Europe that claims to advocate democracy and human rights, but when it comes to condemning "Israeli" war crimes in Gaza, European governments refuse to vote for a resolution by the UNHRC.

He also pointed out that the "Israeli" crimes weren't limited to the Gaza Strip, adding that the "Israeli" occupation government was and still is practicing ethnic cleansing in the occupied city of Al Quds (Jerusalem) against Palestinians, and expanding the "Israeli" settlements there at the expense of the Palestinian lands.
