US will support Israel over Gaza War Crimes Issue.

Ironically Goldstone is a Jewish South African and apparently a Zionist as well. Of course anyone who fails to follow the Israeli line or horror of horrors even criticises Israel is ipso facto anti-Semitic although I thought the politically correct terminology was self-hating Jew when the critic is Jewish. This is from Wikipedia.

""Richard Goldstone is a Jewish South African,..... According to his daughter Nicole, Goldstone "is a Zionist and loves Israel."[4] Goldstone himself, in a 2000 speech in Jerusalem, noted that "bringing war criminals to justice stems from the lessons of the Holocaust".[5] ""

The US will no doubt use its veto to protect Israel and see to it that the nothing gets out of the UN security council.

Posted By Jason Ditz

In a meeting today with America's Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, Israeli President Shimon PeresShimon Peres condemned the UN for "spreading lies" in allowing the Goldstone Report's consideration.

Richard GoldstoneThe Goldstone Report details war crimes committed by both Israel and Hamas during the January invasion of the Gaza Strip. Rice vowed that the United States would stand by Israel "as a loyal friend" and fight against the report in the UN Security Council.

The UN Human Rights Council formally endorsed the report last week, with the US one of the few nations to vote in opposition to it. It has been referred to the Security Council, but the US is expected to use its veto power to prevent it from going any farther.

. Israel has insisted that the author, South African Judge Richard Goldstone, is an "anti-semite" for penning the report, and the government has insisted its backers in the UN are also anti-semites which seeks to see the Jews slaughtered.
