Labor MP Melissa Parke suggests Israel is committing a war crime in Gaza

A LABOR MP has accused the Israeli military of “indiscriminate” killing of women, children and the disabled, suggesting the Jewish state has committed a “war crime” in the Gaza Strip.

Melissa Parke, a former aid worker in Gaza, today voiced “extreme concern” about this week’s bombardment of Palestinian neighbourhoods in response to Hamas rockets being fired at Israeli towns.
