The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, who has a long history of anti-Israel bias, has recently issued a new report where she charges Israel with "excessive use of force" and leaves readers with the impression that a Palestinian man was killed by Israeli soldiers. The report, released on February 18, 2014, is submitted annually for the purposes of keeping alive the notorious Goldstone report.
The report alleges that "The Israeli security forces seemed to have made the decision to use force that was not proportionate to the seriousness of the offence." It further alleges that "the IDF soldiers responded to stones thrown at their convoy as it passed through a crowded market near Qabatiya on 31 October 2013 with tear gas, sound grenades and live ammunition, which resulted in the death of an unarmed 21-year-old man, Ahmad Tazaz'a."
But here are the real facts, contrary to the High Commissioner's inflammatory conclusions. The IDF forces were attacked with "IEDs [improvised explosive devices] and stones" while trying to detain terrorist operatives in Qabatiya. And Ahmed Tazaz'a was not killed by IDF fire. He was actually injured in an "internal conflict" among Palestinian factions and was already hospitalized at the time of the confrontation between Israeli troops and a group of Palestinians. A detailed IDF investigation found that "official Palestinian reports said Tazaza arrived at hospital between 03:00 and 04:00, at least more than an hour before shots in the air were fired by the IDF."
One more example of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay's, perversion of human rights for her anti-human rights agenda.
