Israel is appalled and disappointed by the UN Goldstone Report published on September 15, 2009 by the UN Gaza Fact Finding Mission. The UN Goldstone Report effectively ignores Israel's basic right of self defense, makes unsubstantiated claims about its intent and challenges Israel's democratic values and rule of law.
The UN Goldstone Report all but ignores the deliberate strategy of the internationally recognized terror group Hamas of operating within and behind a Palestinian civilian population and turning densely populated areas into an arena of battle. By turning a blind eye to such tactics it effectively rewards terrorism.
Goldstone states that Hamas has a right to "resistance." Resistance against what? Israel left Gaza 4 years ago! Hamas's stated goal is the complete and total destruction of Israel. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah are not fighting for land - they believe that Jews and Christians are "infidels."
If you believe that the UN Goldstone Report is encouraging racist hate and terror attacks against democracies - please join and support this group!
"I am afraid the resolution is not balanced ... This is unfortunately a practice by the Council: adopting resolutions guided not by human rights but by politics. This is very regrettable." - Former UN Human Rights Chairperson Mary Robinson
