A furious Israel said it would not continue with the peace plan if the UN Human Rights Council endorses a controversial report condemning the Jewish state for war crimes during the Gaza offensive in January.
Britain is planning to abstain in the vote, the Times reports, prompting a heated telephone call between Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, and Gordon Brown on Wednesday night.
Mr Netanyahu reportedly urged the Prime Minister to oppose the resolution, saying that it could derail the peace process.
During what officials described as a “robust exchange”, Mr Brown said Israel could avoid censure if it held its own inquiry into the Gaza offensive Today’s vote in Geneva could prove a major headache for President Obama, who has made Middle East peace a pillar of his foreign policy.
The resolution that chastises Israel for failing to cooperate with a UN-ordered fact-finding mission into the December-January war in Gaza.
In the report circulated last month, the investigators led by South African jurist Richard Goldstone accused both Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas of war crimes in Gaza, but were overall more critical of Israel than Hamas.
Israel has rejected the charges in the report and says the Human Rights Council resolution – drafted by the Palestinians with Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Tunisia, on behalf of non-aligned, African, Islamic and Arab nations – threatens peace efforts.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would not be able to take “risks for peace” if it could not defend itself from attacks on its citizens.
“It’s important for the principle countries, outside of this automatic majority of the United Nations, to say we are not taking part in this.
We know we should act otherwise,” he said.
US officials said last night that as the resolution stood, they would vote against it. With no state in the 47- member council holding veto power and the majority lined up behind the Palestinians, the resolution looked set to sail through.
? israel has never been apart of any PEACE plan . give them an inch and they burn a mile . israel is the biggest terrorist state period , no one brings up that they have nukes . if they dont get there way they will attache iran and i hope Russia nukes there ass into the stone age . its pathetic we are controlled by these maggots . blow up Israel and blow up DC

Israel is a Freemasonic state. Built in order to fulfill Albert Pikes Prophecies he made to Mazzini in 1871. Israel is there to destroy all Monotheism in this New World Order. Destroy Islam, Judaism and Christianity in a final world event that will unleash the Atheists onto the whole world. This way after destroying the last vestiges of the true living God. They will then let Atheists have their turn. Debasing society even more (thats hard to believe but is true.). After Atheists have their turn and utterly destroy any morality left in the world, Then they will show the true god of this world. The G in the square and compass. Lucifer in all his might will be worshiped as the savior Jesus to bring balance to a world torn by war. I truly believe not that I am a Fanatic in Christ but only cause I seen no hope for humanity that the only hope for Man is that some way I don’t know how but some way the Real Jesus must come back and save us. Cause on the real, Humans are dumb ignorant F****. We need a savior!!!!

Article Quote: “In the report circulated last month, the investigators led by South African jurist Richard Goldstone accused both Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas of war crimes in Gaza, but were overall more critical of Israel than Hamas.”
This above statement equivocates or qualifies the holocaust reality perpetrated on the Gaza Palestinians…
Political mollification benefiting the Israeli government…and which just encourages that insane rogue government to “thumb it’s kosher nose” at the world (imo)…

Hmm, who would have thought that accusations, backed by evidence, of OBVIOUS WAR CRIMES, placed in written complaint form, and submitted to the UN could, “derail the peace process?”
Do these IDIOTS believe that this report is more likely to, “derail the peace process,” than the WAR CRIMES themselves? Is the report about the indiscriminate use of white phosphorus on civilians more or less damaging to the “peace process,” than the indiscriminate use of white phosphorus? Why? Because it was put in a report and submitted to the UN? Because the world will be forced to recognize, and state to the rest of the world, that, yes, the CRIMINALS INSIDE THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT are capable of, and have indeed, committed war crimes against the Palestinian people? And those nations, like the UK and the US, that do NOT recognize these criminal acts as WAR CRIMES will be revealed for the hypocrites they are?

Israel has a right to exist, a right to defend itself and more right than any country in the world to decry the war crimes of others! It is God’s land, God’s people and God WILL defend her!!! There are no Freemasons in Israel (I should know my dad was a 33rd degree Mason!) Yes, we shall pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but I as a Christian know that the Jewish people are indeed God’s CHOSEN PEOPLE!!!

How odd of God
To choose the Jews!
These people are not the descendants of Abraham, they are Askenazis from Khazaria who converted to Judaism in the middle ages. They aren’t semites, they are Asians and have no business in Israel.
You are the victim of Zionist propaganda and your so-called Christianity is a watered down version of the Christianity practised by our Forefathers!

Darn!… Sorry Ang, typing too quickly, didn’t notice your ID–meant my reply for the son of the 33rd degree mason…
Dude (Mr. Edie)… Who the hell cares whether there are Free Masons in Israel or not…
What CONCERNS rational people worldwide is the GENOCIDE which the Israelis continue to exact on the remaining Palestinians–after stealing Palestinian land and denying Palestinian RIGHT OF RETURN or proper compensation after stealing it (totally ignoring U.N. conditions for original Israeli membership)…
Along with CONTINUALLY sucking off large multiple BILLIONS yearly in American financial and military aid!…

If the CRIMINALS INSIDE THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT are “God’s chosen people,” then why are they setting up a SECULAR GOVERNMENT?
If you go to the Department of State and look up the information sheet for Israel, you will see that the people you believe are “God’s chosen people,” are setting up a government with no reference to any God at all. Does that make sense to you? Is it possible that the Jewish people spoken of in the Bible are NOT the same people committing WAR CRIMES and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY as members of the SECULAR government of Israel?
And if you are a Christian, does it make sense to you that “God’s chosen people,” would crucify the Son of God? Read Jeremiah and Iasiah, and learn about who Christians believe are, “God’s chosen people.”
The Palestinians being killed have closer links to Jesus Christ than the CRIMINALS INSIDE THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT!!!

It is shameful but both sides of the middle east peace problem is at fault. Both are guilty of war crimes. It is not the individual citizen of each side that is largely at fault. It is the policies, hidden agendas and hatered for the other side that they were raised with that keeps this crap going. I seriously doubt the average Palestinian or Israelite wants to live in fear & terror. Nor do they want to raise their children in that type atmosphere. As Freein TX has stated , it is the criminals within the goverment that are guilty. All we have to do is look at history & you will see geneocide & war crimes committed by all cultures. The question is , Who will gain if this conflict continues. Truely answer that question & then you will know the enemy.

Jack:
Take a moral STAND and quit trying to straddle the fence. These khazarians have no right to any part of Palistine. They are not even semites. They have pushed the Palistinians off their own land and confined them to ghettos without basic humanitarian neccessities under blockade conditions. The ultimate aim is genocide of the Palistinians so the Israelis can take over Gaza and the West Bank. So you ask who will gain if this conflict continues. Figure that out for yourself!

Ang,
I have taken a stance. If we look at the facts both sides are guilty. I am not straddling any fence, if we get right down to the nitty gritty what appears to be happening over there is what happen to the American Indians as well as many other cultures. Does that mean most present day countries should cede their lands to whoever occupied it 50 , 100 , or even 200 yrs ago. If injustice & bias policies are in place then you go after the policy makers not the whole population. That applies to both the Israelite & Palestinian. You don’t punish the average citizen, go after the bastards in charge. I agree with a lot of what you say & I still think our views are closer than we think on this issue. Maybe I am not stating my views properly. Either way it’s good to here your rebuttal.

It really behooves me how people can become so willfully ignorant. “Palestine” was never a country, state or nation during this Earth’s entire history; ergo any speak of a “nationality” is simply ahistorical. A myth. A guided lie. There are no “Palestinians”. FYI: The “Palestinian” people does not exist. The creation of a “Palestinian” state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, “Palestinians”, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a “Palestinian” people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of “Palestine”, we will not wait even a minute to unite “Palestine” and Jordan.” – Published interview with Palestine Liberation Organization: PLO Executive Committee Member Zahir Muhsein. Dutch newspaper:Trouw. March 31, 1977. Further, have any here ever researched Islam? Have any actually read the Hadith, Koran or researched Islamic History? FYI: “My principal object in coming to Hindustan… has been to accomplish two things. The first was to war with the infidels, the enemies of the Mohammadan religion; and by this religious warfare to acquire some claim to reward in the life to come. The other was… that the army of Islam might gain something by plundering the wealth and valuables of the infidels: plunder in war is as lawful as their mothers’ milk to Musalmans who war for their faith.” – Amir Timur (Tamurlane)
It is simply terrible that Nazi (Socialist) propaganda of “get the Jew” is more important in scale and scope to the factually correct information that many have entirely overlooked. Moses was the first Zionist (the belief that Jews should live in their homelands of Zion: Israel: The Land of Israel) due to leading the Jews out of slavery in Egypt. Islam is a cancer and so is Nazism, Communism and all other Left wing ineptitudes…

Quote: “FYI: The “Palestinian” people does not exist. The creation of a “Palestinian” state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel…”
There were significant numbers of local Moslems, and Christians living in Palestinian areas (including pre-Israel areas) in the 1920’s… With many of them having local backgrounds going back many centuries… As opposed to the “diaspora” Zionists Jews in-migrating, and creating “settlements” (colonizing enclaves).
Along with backing from Zionist financiers…the early pre-Israel Zionist colonist established there footholds with terrorism intended to destabilize and chase-out the local indigenous peoples (early ethnic cleansing policies).
At the time of the “gerry-mandered” Israeli state creation (and with crucial U.S. support/recognition)…the U.N. as a compromised negotiating entity had set aside land areas designated for Palestinians (larger area than what the Palestinians “hold” today)… So as far as I am concerned There’s nothing “willfully ignorant” in recognizing true Zionist-Israeli history… Or, their present warmongering and genocidal orientation.
The Israelis learned well from the W.W. II British empire how to wage “wars of no alternative” (calculated premeditated, aggressive pre-emptive wars actually)… There continuing policy today throughout many parts of the Mid-East (and not just against tattered Palestine).
Want to know something fella… I appreciate revisionist history more today…and have a MORE balanced view of W.W.II NAZIS–thanks to Zionists and the hordes of Zionist apologists spin distorting Israeli history and military excesses.
