| UN rights body endorses Gaza war crimes report |
| 2009-10-17 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] The U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday endorsed a Gaza report that accused both Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas of committing war crimes in their December-January conflict. In a special session, 25 of the body's members voted in favour of the resolution that chastised Israel for failing to cooperate with the U.N. mission led by South African jurist Richard Goldstone. Another 6 voted it against and 11 abstained. Both Israel and Hamas have rejected the charges in the Goldstone report, which is most critical of the Jewish state. The report calls for the U.N. Security Council to refer the matter to the International Criminal Court if the Israelis or Palestinians fail to investigate the alleged abuses themselves. |

| #3 Even though the UNHRC is fundamentally a biased corrupt organization; is there hope for them 'cause they included the Palestinians with the perennial "bad guys" Israelis? |

| #2 Wonner if Goldstone might have a look at plaasmoorde, ie, killings in the farming and rural communities in South Africa. Of course whites probably don't qualify for proper recognition under current UN genecide guidelines. |

| #1 Nazis, Communists, Mad Mullas, Tranzis, they never think that a time will come then they'll have to pay for their crimes. |
