Bill Moyers: Richard Goldstone's (4) UN Report on Israel / Gaza

Bill Moyers talks with Justice Richard Goldstone, who headed up the controversial UN Human Rights Council investigation into fighting in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.

There could not have been a more thankless job in the world this year than investigating allegations of war crimes between Israelis and Palestinians. You're about to meet the man who shouldered that task after others had turned it down. And sure enough, he is at the center now of a raging controversy.

Judge Richard Goldstone was born and raised in South Africa, where he came to prominence investigating the vicious behavior of white security forces during apartheid.

In 1994, the UN named him to lead its investigation of war crimes in what was once Yugoslavia, including ethnic cleansing, the deadliest violence in Europe since the Second World War. That same year he was asked to prosecute genocide in Rwanda, where almost a million people were slaughtered. Goldstone went on to uncover Nazi war criminals hiding in Argentina, and to lead an independent inquiry into war crimes in Kosovo.

Nyetanahu is atrocious. Sarah Palin is no match for him.

Israel will pull all it's man power out to discredit the report, and pursued the UN assembly to do the same. There is indisputable evidence of the use of illegal weapons on civilians and Israel knows and fears this. Israel refuses to admit to atrocities which they commit on people the same atrocity which the public is constantly reminded of when it occurred during WWII on the Jews.

'My People' ?? Racist prick!

Moyer does his little CIA bit here and takes extreme care not to mention that Israel swept into Gaza and kidnapped 10 Palestinians: the incident that triggered the rockets. Even Goldstone is more biased than belief. The evil imposition of this state on the Palestinian people by force, the root problem, is never mentioned by even this supposed dialogue. Fake state. Fake news. Fake investigation. Fraud upon the world.
