In a blatant show of contempt for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, the US House of Representatives voted to oppose the Goldstone Report on the war crimes committed in Gaza last year. The vote was 344 to 36.

Those that voted against the House resolution are to be thanked, supported and reelected…..

Those that supported the resolution to defeat the report referred to it as “irredeemably biased and unworthy of further consideration or legitimacy.”

Their position must be remembered as well in the next election.

The vote demonstrates the influence that AIPAC has over the policies of the US Government, an influence that will stifle any efforts to attain a genuine lasting and just peace in Israel/Palestine.

Despite the fact that every Human Rights Group in Israel supports the Goldstone findings, it was still defeated in the House. This not only shows contempt for the progressive forces in Israel, it shows contempt for the United Nations General Assembly that passed the resolution.

For over 61 years Israel has literally gotten away with crimes against humanity by ignoring every resolution passed by the world body condemning them. Now, thanks to AIPAC and the US House of Representatives, they have literally been handed a green light to continue in their course leading to the ‘final solution’.

THIS IS NOT THE CHANGE WE HAD HOPED FOR
