"This is HAMAS stating that what Hamas does ARE WAR CRIMES."
No it is not
The ambassador makes it clear in his statement that it is his personal opinion and he is speaking on behalf of nobody but himself.
His point is a valid one - Hamas rockets are a war crime as war crimes are judged by U.N., though they have killed less than 20 people in 12 years.
Whether Israeli actions are war crimes remains to be seen.
The discrepancy between the casualties of both sides (exceeding 20 to one to date) and the number of non combatants, particularly women and children dead and injured indicates a massacre.
From the beginning, those at the receiving end have claimed the warnings given were less than useless.
Hospitals claimed they had no time to even begin to evacuate their patents before the announced attacks - many patients were killed and injured - one hospital for incurables simply declared it was staying put.
Shortly after the bombardments began, those on the ground said they simply had nowhere to go - all the likely refuges were already full to overflowing -thousands crowded onto open fields and beaches.
As far as established refuges - the organisers of one of the early U.N. shelters that was destroyed supplied the co-ordinates of the position to the Israelis 17 times, including on the morning of the attack.
They had been instructed by the Israelis to get everybody inside and stay were they were - and then they were bombarded - if that is not a war crime, I'm fucked if I know what is.
Incidents such as these have been common.
I have no idea what prompted the ambassador to say what he did, but he certainly was not speaking for Hamas, who have declared Israel's action a war-crime throughout.
The Israeli death squads constitute war Crimes - Israel has arrested the soldier who reported that they were taking place.
The use of flechette. DIME and White Phosphorus on civilians constitute war crimes.
The deliberate - or even indiscriminate targeting of non-combatants is a war crime.
The whole inhuman mess is a war crime, and what falls under permissible shouldn't be as far as civilian victims are concerned.
The Israeli army has behaved like uniformed thugs acting under the instructions of exactly the same brand of right-wing monsters that filled the ovens of Auschwitz.
Any Jew claiming that what has happened is in any way "Jewish", has disgraced the Jewish people by associating them with this slaughter.   
The United Nations has voted 29-1, with 17 countries abstaining, to set up a commission to investigate possible war crimes in this conflict.
Characteristically, Israel and the U.S. are attempting to prevent any enquiry from taking place.
There you go Weirdie Beardie - pick the bones out of that

Incidentally - your Ambassadors statement seems to have come from the somewhat shoddy 'Inquisitr' site which you chose not to link
It includes a film clip of the ambassador speaking, as do most sites carrying the story, including those from Israel
