Washington, 27 Ramadan 1435/25 July 2014 (MINA) – Israeli occupation regime is incessantly committing crimes against the Palestinians with impunity as the United States blocks every international action against the Zionist regime, an analyst tells Press TV.

“The principle permanent member [of the United Nations Security Council] – the United States – has systematically willfully obstructed every single attempt to bring Israel to book,” Kevin Ovenden told Press TV in an interview.

He said under the aegis of the United States, the Israeli regime “feels that it can get away with this,” Press TV quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting, Friday.

Ovenden, from the London-based Stop the War Coalition, said that the Israeli regime will emerge loser in its current war on the besieged Gaza Strip.

“Israel is losing this war on three fronts, it’s losing in terms of the international media war … It’s losing the base of support it had in European countries and around the West from the rest of the world. And it is losing militarily,” he said.

Since July 8, Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip, demolishing homes and burying families in the rubble. Israeli tanks also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17.

Latest reports say some 750 Palestinians have been killed in 17 days of Israeli aerial and ground offensives against the besieged Gaza Strip, with most of the fatalities being women and children.

In response, Palestinian resistance fighters have continued to rain a barrage of rockets onto the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.
