==Chinkin== 

 There you go again slipping in “Hamas’ into the sentence for the third time and for the third time I will revert you, though I will leave the remaining part of your edit (“before seeing any evidence” to “prior to participating in the mission”) unmolested as technically, you are correct. Chinkin saw evidence (what that evidence might be, well, your guess is as good as mine), just not the commission’s evidence.  

 The first paragraph of Chinkin’s petition rejects Israel’s contention of self-defense. The second paragraph is dismissive of Hamas rocket attacks claiming that they do not “amount to an armed attack.” The third details Palestinian casualties and property damage while neglecting to mention anything about Israel. The fourth discusses the large disproportion between Israel and Palestinian casualties and reaffirms that Israel is the “occupying power” despite her withdrawal in 2005. The fifth calls Israel the aggressor and states that Israel acted contrary to “international humanitarian and human rights law.” It further states that Israel’s actions are “prima facie war crimes.” The sixth paragraph gives an honorable mention to Hamas almost as an afterthought but true to form, finishes with condemnation of Israel.  

 Thus, the thrust of the petition is clearly aimed at Israel which is the subject of the harshest criticism. Hamas is mentioned in just two places while criticisms of Israel are peppered throughout. Thus, your edit is misleading and inaccurate and warrants reversion.
