Former US permanent representative to the UN Nikki Haley left inscriptions on shells during her visit to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), Rolling Stone magazine reported.
The politician travelled to Israel’s northern border, meeting with Israeli soldiers and citizens there. The former US post-president left the inscription “Finish them off!” on one of the shells of the Israeli army.
She also wrote “America loves Israel!” and autographed a bomb meant to be fired into the Gaza Strip, according to the publication.
“If we are arrogant enough, the same thing could very well happen in America, and that’s the moral of the story,” Nikki Haley commented on her actions.
The official’s act sparked a strong reaction on social media and in the media, drawing the attention of many journalists and activists around the world. Rolling Stone magazine commented on this event as a call to kill civilians, recalling the deaths of the population of the Gaza Strip, including children, as a result of shelling by the IDF.
Recall, earlier the Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported that the Israeli army used white phosphorus munitions prohibited by international conventions in strikes on sites in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
