Kucinich Addresses UN Goldstone Gaza Resolution

163ef8c454b7bed8November 3, 2009, Congressman Dennis Kucinich addresses H.RES. 867 on the House Floor. H.RES. 867 condemns the UN Goldstone Gaza Fact Finding Mission Report.

Congressman Kucinich stated:

"Today we journey from Operation Cast Lead to Operation Cast Doubt. Almost as serious as committing war crimes is covering up war crimes, pretending that war crimes were never committed and did not exist."

"Because behind every such deception is the nullification of humanity, the destruction of human dignity, the annihilation of the human spirit, the triumph of Orwellian thinking, the eternal prison of the dark heart of the totalitarian."



"The resolution before us today, which would reject all attempts of the Goldstone Report to fix responsibility of all parties to war crimes, including both Hamas and Israel, may as well be called the "Down is Up, Night is Day, Wrong is Right: resolution."

"Because if this Congress votes to condemn a report it has not read, concerning events it has totally ignored, about violations of law of which it is unaware, it will have brought shame to this great institution."

"How can we ever expect there to be peace in the Middle East if we tacitly approve of violations of international law and international human rights, if we look the other way, or if we close our eyes to the heartbreak of people on both sides by white-washing a legitimate investigation?"

"How can we protect the people of Israel from existential threats if we hold no concern for the protection of the Palestinians, for their physical security, their right to land, their right to their own homes, their right to water, their right to sustenance, their right to freedom of movement, their right to human security of jobs, education and health care?".

"We will have peace only when the plight of both Palestinians and Israelis is brought before this House and given equal consideration in recognition of that principle that all people on this planet have a right to survive and thrive, and it is our responsibility, our duty to see that no individual, no group, no people are barred from this humble human claim."

Please, join with Dennis in the fight for Human Rights. Contribute, you can make a difference.

Thank You
The Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich Committee

  1. WOW! This man is a hero!

    I wonder what the ADL will do to him?

  2. You're absolutely right Lev. He is a hero and always has been to me. He's a man of the people and has never been beholden to any lobbyist group be it AIPAC or multi national corporations.

    They won't do anything to him because he has been so marginalized by his own corrupt party and the msm that what he says barely shows up as a blip on the radar screen.

    But Coto knows who the real heroes are.

  3. Right. The ADL, SPLC, AIPAC, AEI, PNAC and others have pissed on it.

    JINSA and others have tried to ignore it. As you say JG, poor Kucinich is one of too few candles in the black hole of this government.The report was fair and the David versus Goliath was never better illustrated than in this tragedy a year ago.
