Israel's UN ambassador: Goldstone report was born of hate, executed in sin

Just who do you think has been funding both Hamas and Hezbollah, Iran is their banker

Under UN auspices, Palestinians were given their own state under the UN Partition plan, instead of accepting their share they decided to attack Israel and try and steal the Jewish State Check your history,learn the facts, instead of spouting fancies

They took those very same food stamps, exchanged them for merchandise at the UNWRA, then sold the merchandise for $$$$

Don't you consider responsible to adhere to the promise you had made, Human Shield volunteerism and all that jazz? Nothing quite like an utter phony preaching morality to others

If anyone is detached from reality it must sure- ly be the Israeli Ambassador, Gabiela Shalav . Instead of accepting responsibility for Israel' wrong doing and war crimes she criticsm towards Judge Goldstone and the UN body itself. What an ungrateful and disloyal member! She is lucky to have a seat at the table as Israel has no real legitimacy until it fulfills its UN Membership (a. accepts a sovereign Pale- stinian state. b. allows the return of refugee.) Thus, Israel is riding on the goodwill of other nations who have a right to kick its ambassador out. Dutch

I honestly don't get the explanations behind calling Goldstone and his report all those nasty things. I watched several of his interviews and there is no doubt the man is a God fearing Jew with an amazing resume for dealing with the ugliest of human crimes. Are the attacks against him insinuating that he would taint the great career that he has had because he is paid off by Hamas or something? Do you really think he is saying those things because of UN food stamps Hamas paid him off with? I just don't get it.

"conceived in hate and executed in sin." Exactly how the state of israel was created. If israel claims it isn't guilty of war crimes, then why try to block or dis-credit this report?

So, if "more likely it would reveal that the IDF went to painstaking measures" why didn't Israel participate then and produce all this wonderful "evidence" of their "restraint"? The fact that they didn't participate in my opinion makes it "more likely" that such restraint didn't exist (you only have to look at the casualty statistics to draw that conclusion).

Maybe, just maybe, this character trait has been their problem throughout history. I have been wondering why it is that Jews have been persecuted in so many countries, or asked to leave. What is the common demoninator of Israelis? Lack of empathy and compassion? In the film of the Nuremberg trials, the Jewish phychologist - in his attempt to define evil - says: perhaps lack of empathy is the source of evil. Or something to that effect. I so want to be on the Israeli side, and no longer find it possible. Both Palestinians and Israelis have made lying into a fine art.

I'm confused. To all the people who are referencing Goldstone's Jewish identity - is this really relevant to the conversation at hand? Does his Jewish background somehow heighten the legitimacy of his report? If he were Muslim, would the report have any less credence in your eyes? The fact of the matter is that Israel refused to participate in aiding the Goldstone commission, so clearly the report is missing key information from the Israeli perspective. Perhaps this information would support Goldstone's conclusions, but more likely it would reveal that the IDF went to painstaking measures to minimize civilian casualty in there assault on an aggressive and murderous terrorist organization. Stop using Goldstone's heritage to disfigure the truth of the situation at hand.

She hasn't gone off the rails. She's merely following Netaniahu's instructions.

You seem to be an outstanding example

Lashon Hara, you're a prime example of a user It drips not only from your venemous tongue, you use your CPU to re-inforce hate

Goldstone is not only a respected jurist, but is a Jew, a self-proclaimed Zionist and supporter of Israel. Madame Ambassador says it was "born of hate". Enough with the labels i.e. "self-hating Jews"...fight this report with the facts.

The respected envoy has finally seen thelight. She is talking in her subconscious not about the "report" but about the state of israel

Israel is committed to investigating any claim of wrongdoing by its army. That is except for those claims which Israel judges as born in hate and executed in sin.

Palestinians. That is unethical, stealing, and a war crime. If you don't want the Palestinians and their land, give them back and let Egypt and Jordan establish a Palestinian state. The best option is to have such a state established under UN auspices with UN control until the Palestinians can establish a properly functioning government.

The ambassador's characterization of Goldstone's report, the report of a Jewish judge, universally regarded as a fair-minded person, and a supporter of Israel to boot, and that the ambassador does this unaware that it will make things much worse for Israel, is a sign that the Israeli establishment is losing touch with reality.

"Unfortunately, the Human Rights Council passed a resolution seeking a fact-finding mission to only look at what Israel had done, and I don?t think that?s a human rights approach." THe UNHRC NEVER changed the mandate Goldstone claims the President authorised him to expand it. The President alone does not have that authority.As was shown by the how the UNHRC mistreated the report.

It's time to send in a charismatic envoy. WEll done ! with all respects to the Prof.

What are you saying? Goldstone, called by ADL director Foxman as "I have had great respect for you over the years." of Goldstone; and further said "Moreover, I know you to be a proud Jew who serves on the Board of Trustees of Hebrew University and who has a daughter living in Israel." THAT GOLDSTONE HATES JEWS AND EXECUTED HIS REPORT IN SIN. Find another slogan!!!

... the woman has gone completely off-the-rails... ... has shamed Israel...

I love the statement, "Israel is committed to abiding by international law". What a joke!! The entire occupation, including settlements, is a violation of international law.

... she can do less harm there...

If there ever was a prime example of lashon hara, it is this disgusting, sickening spectacle of a smearcampaign against a most honourable Jew, Judge Goldstone. It is practically an attempt at verbaL crucifixion. Utterly disgusted

Is their national hubris so overblown that they do not hear these words and recognise them for the propganda that they are? Are they really tking this in? It's utterly embarrassing and I can't imagine that this Shalev woman is not biting her tongue.

They have pulled out all their guns to decimate and destroyGoldstone's character, just like they did in destroying the civilian infrastructure in Gaza. They have called on all their minions in the US-AIPAC, Dershowitz and Foxman et al and thier agents in Congress to continue their campaign of defamation. They really know what will happen if the truth gets out so they trot out the usual games they do like anti-semitism and the Holocaust card and the threats and fine that it is working...but not as well as it has in the past. Shalev's words are pathetic and nothing more than a chep trick to deflect attention from what she knows Israel will be found guilty of.

In gods shake is anybody here who can blame mr Goldstone for his history or his education or like anything else?

The Un Human Rights Council has taken a bold step by endorsing eminent Judge Richard Goldstone's report despite all of Israel's efforts to smear this distinguished Jewish person of conscience! Of course it is understood tha some of the states that endorsed this Report have questionable human rights records but so what as the reality is still the same? Instead o spending all their fforts trying to distract away from the war crimes that Israel has committed against Palestinian civilians but particularly children, Israel supporters do have the choice to write about other issues that they say concern them so much such as Drafur, the Congo, ad Iran and so on. Instead, Israel supporters continuously harp about others needing to write on issues of concern to them. As such, Israel supporters should be encouraged to write on issues that they say "concern them so much" and that they do have the power to "stop wasting their time" by demanding others to write on issues of concern to "them".

Do you mean that Jordan will reannex the West Bank and Egypt will take responsibility of Gaza?

s usual. Time is against Israel, maybe not tomorrow, next week, next year, but it will eventually catch up and Israelis won't have anybody but themselves to blame.

then go back to the 67 borders.

Does Israel think if they keep repeating the same mantra over and over again people are more likely to buy it? As for the "Born of hate, executed in sin" crap; Anyone would think Goldstone had stomped up and down on a copy of the Torah. Next they'll be calling him the Devil's spawn.
