NWO, Security Council, Obama and Congress bury the Gladstone Report

South African jurist Richard Goldstone led the The United Nations Human Rights Council(UNHRC) investigation into war crime violations the Israeli/Palestinian Gaza conflict during December and January 2009.  Gladstone, a noted Zionist and Pro-Israel supporter came to the task highly recommended for his work in the Rwanda struggle as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Along with the recent findings of Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem, the Gladstone Commission Report has concluded the following;

Disproportional Response:

Carpet bombing 24/7 without sparing even hospitals, schools and UN shelters, Israel turned its full, lethal force against a besieged and defenseless population in Gaza.

 

Israel "punished and terrorized" civilians in Gaza in a disproportionate attack in its three-week offensive on the narrow strip of the land cut off from the rest of the world.

"Actions amounting to war crimes, and possibly in some respects crimes against humanity, were committed by the Israel Defence Force,"

"shooting of civilians holding white flags the deliberate and unjustifiable targeting of UN shelters and the killing of over 300 children whilst the Israeli Army had at their disposal the most precise weaponry in the world"

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and her Senate colleagues urged the United States to take action to block the report from reaching the UN Security Council. In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Senators also urged the Obama administration to denounce any punishment against Israel as a result of the report's flawed findings. Unfavorable is the appropriate wording, Senator.
