Islamists Polka of Liza's world
The Goldstone report an anti-Israeli concoction, the de facto on the account anti-Israel NGOs is to be financed largely from Europe and from among the staff comes, the sat over the Jewish state to court. If here but once a job is to take place with the Unmenschenrat, especially because it's worth a few bars to to say the organizations, the crucial it with ammunition. And kein Beispiel eignet sich dafür so gut wie der so genannte Goldstone-Bericht, jene backsteindicke Anklageschrift gegen Israel also, die seit ihrer Veröffentlichung Mitte September durch die Medien gereicht wird und heute auch im UN-Sicherheitsrat ein Thema ist. Ihren Ausgangspunkt hatte sie im vergangenen Januar, als der Menschenrechtsrat auf Antrag von Kuba, Ägypten und Pakistan beschloss, eine Kommission einzusetzen, die „alle Menschenrechtsverletzungen der Besatzungsmacht Israel gegen das palästinensische Volk in den besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten“ während der Militärschläge gegen die Hamas zu Beginn dieses Jahres untersuchen sollte. Es war so unvermeidlich wie das „Allahu akbar“ in der Moschee, what would come out in this investigation - even if's then chairman of the council after protests from the European Council members, as well as Canada and Japan mandate somewhat modified and the "fact-finding mission led by the South African jurist Richard Goldstone (photo) finally received the order, explore "all possible human rights violations committed in the context of military operations in Gaza."
The Israeli government have refused for good reasons to work with the Goldstone Commission. "You will understand," wrote the head of the Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations in Geneva, Aharon Leshno-Yaar, in a letter to Goldstone, "that Israel is unwilling to legitimize an instance, to investigate the legitimate use of force to protect its citizens while at the same time requires it, the illegal use of violence by terrorist groups, this application has even made it necessary to ignore. "Israel felt confirmed in his step, not least because of reports according to which the Commission will be accompanied during their research in the Gaza Strip by Hamas officials constantly. "We doubt that under these circumstances truthfully on the situation in Gaza and in particular on the cynical Abuse of the civilian population will be reported by Hamas, "said Leshno Yaar.
you rightly questioned: while the Jewish state in the Goldstone report accused again and again to be a "war crime" and "crimes against humanity," the terror of Hamas rocket takes only casually mentioned. The Commission's investigation is full of oddities in detail. It means, for example, not even 17 percent of the Palestinians killed were combatants - such a number but you can only come if, as happened in the report, even the police officers charged in the Gaza Strip to the civilians, although over 90 percent of them belong to the military wing of Hamas. abused by the accusation that actual civilians as "human shields" to have that Hamas is acquitted smooth; also Goldstone and his colleagues want is simply no evidence has found that the holy warriors Force has stored weapons and ammunition in mosques, schools and hospitals - which Israeli attacks on these facilities inevitably mutate to war crimes, although not even the Hamas denies having created this kind accounts.
The surprise at this and other research results can, however, decreased rapidly, if you look at the source; look to in the 575-page convoluted reference is made: More than 500 bodies are evidence of notoriously anti-Israeli NGOs, as NGO Monitor has calculated. Apparent that the Commission was therefore concerned mainly with collecting quotes from publications, statements and testimony "to these NGOs - Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights and Al-Haq, B'Tselem and Breaking the Silence, to name a few. The activities of these so-called human rights organizations speak volumes: Human Rights Watch, for example, not even afraid to donate in Saudi Arabia for his struggle against Israel recover, and was recently put in for criticism, as rumored, that was an appropriate agency maintains a strong Nazi fetish. Al-Haq called recently together with the NGO Al-Mezan all seriousness, a British judge decided to adopt the talks in the UK because the Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak to an arrest warrant for "war crimes". And Breaking the Silence was modified in mid-July to talk with a report on its own, has been criticized in the Israeli army, as part of Operation Lead Cast Palestinian civilians used as "human shields" or even shot without warning to have. The prosecution witnesses were present 27 Israeli soldiers, who remained anonymous and the alleged crimes also knew only by hearsay.
are officially a "fact finding missions" to the UN of "accuracy, objectivity, transparency and credibility" required. However, the Goldstone Commission to this commitment, expressed cautious relationship is more tactical and verified at least not on the sources used. Possibly played a role that some of its members were active in the past even anti-Israel NGOs or their environment. Richard Goldstone was about to Human Rights Watch said in a leading position and came only after his appointment as Chairman of the Commission of Inquiry from the organization. His fellow Commissioner Christine Chinkin was a consultant to Amnesty International and a signatory to a public protest letter, entitled "Israel's bombing of Gaza is not self-defense, but a war crime." And Commissioners Hina Jilani and Desmond Travers were jointly owned with gold Stone of the signatories of a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in which they were "outraged" by the events in Gaza (while it's rocket attacks on Sderot and other Israeli towns left unmentioned).
is noteworthy, however, that the anti-Israeli NGOs, whose activities and statements for the Goldstone Commission were so essential by European governments and the European Union sponsored generously. The Palestinian Center for Human Rights receives some funding from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the EU, and Breaking the Silence is funded by the EU and beyond, including the Dutch and the British government. "Made in Europe" NGO Monitor, therefore, aptly called the anti-Israel NGOs supported by Goldstone Report "are the highly one-sided accusations and the attention that is paid to these organizations, as well as other aspects of the Durban strategy through the funding of European governments first place. The activities of these NGOs are based on an interpretation of international law and human rights, which only serves to demonize Israel. . These groups want negative publicity for Israel, not 'justice' "And so they are not, as supposed repeatedly falsely interested in a settlement of the war against Israel, but rather to its continuation resistant - finally secured their just that place in the European meat pots.
a "mockery of history" was how the Israeli President Shimon Peres, the Goldstone report on which the UN Human Rights Council now has to be agreed, quite rightly. The Commission made no distinction between the aggressor and a state that has exercised its right to self defense. While Hamas has fired at Israeli territory with rockets, Israel is always in vain approached the UN to achieve an end to attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that if the report came before the UN Security Council - which could in turn theoretically call the International Criminal Court - is the same as if the end of the peace process. This plain text is to be welcomed. For the United Nations as their attendant NGOs, no part of the solution but part of the problem. They are not committed to human rights bodies, but the warring parties - against the Jewish state.
