Blocking the Truth of the Gaza War:
How the Goldstone Commission Understated the Hamas Threat to Palestinian Civilians
By Lt. Col. (ret.) Jonathan D. Halevi
-Was the UN commission's approach one-sided against Israel, or unbiased and objective as commission chairman Richard Goldstone contended? Statements of Palestinians recorded by the commission and posted on the UN website provide authentic evidence of the commission's methodology and raise serious questions about its intentions to discover the truth.
-Commission members did not ask the interviewed Palestinians questions about the activities of Hamas and the other Palestinian terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip which could be classified as war crimes or that were potentially dangerous to innocent Palestinians. Furthermore, there was no serious consideration of Palestinian "friendly fire" incidents, and we can only guess how many Palestinian civilians were killed or wounded by Palestinian fire.

In addition, the witnesses hid vital information from the commission regarding the presence of armed terrorists or exchanges of fire in their vicinity.

There are reports on the internet by a UN official that UN school was hit by a missile from an aircraft. I think that western journalist should be allowed to monitor the situation and to work alongside the UN missions , Red Cross, Medical teams and Food Distribution Services . It would be interesting to see and hear things from a western point of view at point of source.
