EYE ON SION
We've all had a chance to review the Goldstone Report. Clearly we got the answers we had all expected.
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 Goldstone 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”
Today I caught Steve Lendmans nice update piece on status of the Investigation.
The timeline seems eerily familiar.
JERUSALEM (AFP) US envoy in Mideast as Abbas warns Israel over settlements– US envoy George Mitchell arrived in the Middle East on Tuesday to try to save peace talks as Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas said Israel would be to blame if negotiations collapsed over settlements.
Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the moratorium by telephone late Monday in talks the State Department spokesman described as "very significant, very detailed, very direct."
"The prime minister understands what our policies are. We understand his ongoing political difficulties," said Crowley, who has praised Abbas for showing "restraint" and not yet backing out of the negotiations.
HAARETZ 9/27/10- Israel calls on UN to end 'obsessively biased' Gaza war probe
Settlement building moratorium, peace talks, and then the murders of hundreds of Palestinians. Someones priorities have gone askew. Unless that real estate is to kill for. I better call my agent and I might send a letter of encouragement to Richard Goldstone to keep the heat on and tell him how sorry I was to hear this news earlier this year.

So I guess Goldstone won't be suicided. He'll just be ostracized. I'm over thinking there will ever be justice served for the Palestinians. When we are free, they will be free. And when will that be?
ReplyDeleteOstracized, Blended or Pureed? When I express the same thoughts as you I get branded as fatalistic - but I think we are realists.
ReplyDeleteIsrael pumps bullets execution style into the heads of innocent unarmed people on an aid ship in international waters - and the US and other "Leaders" defend them and make excuses.
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a tragically absurd situation. I for one cannot defend the Goldstone Report because it totally ignores the issue of radiologic weapons. That's the kind of omission that should discredit Goldstone, not his lukewarm criticism of Israhell which he as a zionist supports....an illegal nonexistent nation with no title to the land it occupies.
ReplyDeleteI think he can see the committee in clear view now. What happens next is up to him. If he goes the distance he could, right?
ReplyDeleteEven the best of them Mary still play inside the rule book. I can't defend most of them. Even Alex Jones who fails to touch subjects. The ones that cross that line, well they are gone. Or they sell out and shut up.
ReplyDeleteLook at Eliot Spitzer. He got the message and now is a talking head puppet with a new MSM BS counterpoint with Parker. That's doomed! Now he gets big dough.
What did we get? No justice on the SEC/Wallstreet crimes. No more serious law suits against GLAXO for their toxic, lying, falsifying research project called PAXIL. No more light on WTC7 and destroying the evidence of even more serious crimes.
I'll wait to see what Judge Goldstone does. We know what DU is doing. We know that it is being put into products from golf clubs and cell phones to cheese graters. Thousands of everyday products and materials contain radioactive DU.
This is why you buy American Mary? I do. DU is the largest and most sublime SOFT KILL program for useless eaters to date. But I'm preaching to the choir on the subject you have researched thoroughly.
