U.N. condemns Israeli, Palestinian attacks
 

The U.N. human rights chief condemned both Palestinians and Israelis for a flare up of violence across the Israel-Gaza border following the deaths of three abducted Jewish teens. "From a human rights point of view, I utterly condemn these rocket attacks and more especially I condemn Israel's excessive acts of retaliation," U.N. Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay told journalists in Vienna on Thursday. "It's despicable but **w in turn there's been a kidnapping and killing of a Palestinian youth. This level of retaliation is excessive and this is what is spawned when governments do **t respect the rule of law, when governments themselves resort to excessive forms of retaliation," she said.
