Screw the U.N.

Geneva (AFP) – The UN’s human rights office on Friday urged Israel and its adversaries to exercise restraint amid a crackdown on Palestinians during a hunt for three Jewish teenagers missing in the West Bank.

“Clearly these boys need to be found, that’s totally understandable, but the scale of operations and the number of people they are affecting is deeply disturbing,” said its spokesman Rupert Coville.

“We reiterate our call for strict adherence to international law by all relevant actors and join others in their call for restraint,” he told reporters.

The three teenagers went missing on June 12 near an Israeli settlement bloc close to the city of Hebron.

There have been no claims of responsibility, but Israel has accused the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas of kidnapping them.

The Israeli army has launched a vast hunt for them, dubbed Operation Brother’s Keeper.
