The UN Gaza Report is the most vicious indictment of the State of Israel
bearing the seal of the United Nations since the UN General Assembly adopted
its infamous "Zionism is Racism" resolution in 1975, which it subsequently
repealed. A special session of the 47-member UN Human Rights Council called
for establishing the Fact-Finding Mission that prepared the report through the
adoption of Resolution S-9/1 on January 12, 2009. The special session was
convened at the request of Cuba, Egypt, and Pakistan. Resolution S-9/1 was
notably passed with the support of Russia, China, Arab/Islamic and third world
countries, but not with that of a single Western democracy like Canada and the
member states of the European Union.
It was the president of the Human Rights Council who established the UN Fact-Finding
Mission in April 2009 to investigate Israeli military operations in Gaza between
December 27, 2008, and January 18, 2009. He subsequently appointed Justice
Richard Goldstone to head the mission. Its report was published in September.

To understand the report and to see which side is right - all you need to do kmow is just to read what mr. goldston said on 04/2011 : We know a lot more today about what happened in the Gaza war of 2008-09 than we did when I chaired the fact-finding mission appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council that produced what has come to be known as the Goldstone Report. If I had known then what I know now, the Goldstone Report would have been a different document. MR GOLDSTON - SHAME ON YOU.

Don't you think it is about time you consider changing your ways of promoting and defending your Jewish heritage?
The thing is that people like yourself make it very hard for individuals like myself to remain objective about Israel and Jewish heritage.
To be quite frank, I am starting to feel a bit disgusted by the intolerance manifested whenever somebody criticizes Israel or Israeli politics.
If you haven't seen it, I warmly recommend the ISRAELI documentary DEFAMATION. (youtube)

Kurtlane, speaking only for myself as a Bible-believing Christian, the way I look at it is that failure to proclaim the Truth to correct lies would make me complicit in creating a climate for intended genocide against the Jews, and that even if zero minds are changed, then at least my correction to the Jew-haters at heart will serve on Judgment Day before God as testimony against them...they will not be able to say they did not know, that God is unjust in holding them accountable.

Nobody cares or even notices that Israel is trying to protect civilians. They believe and will believe that Israel is out for murder and extermination. Why? Because they are the ones who are out for murfer and extermination. The world is just a giant Jew-hater.

A Jew should never ask Jew-haters "What would you do?"
The response is always, "I'm not a Jew. You are. Ha-ha."
More apologetics. It doesn't matter a bit that it's true. When the world sees a Jew doing apologetics, it shifts into a hunting mood, "There's a Jew here. Get him." And one doesn't think of animal rights when one is on a hunt.
