The Goldstone
Report: America Stands By Israel's Gaza Massacre
"Countries
and leaders, who lack the 'scent of sanctity' as far as Uncle Sam is concerned,
have been dragged through the mud for much less than the carnage committed by
Israel in Gaza."
Holding the plans for Auschwitz, Israeli Prime
Minister Netanyahu
scolds U.N. members who tolerate the Holocaust denial of Iranian President
Ahmadinejad, Sept. 24., 00:29:29.
The 1,400 martyrs of the
savage war on Gaza last January must be turning in their graves: the United Nations
Human Rights Council decided, against all expectations, to postpone until March, 2010, voting on
a resolution regarding South African Judge Richard
Goldstone's investigation into Israeli war crimes.
Even worse, this unjust
decision had the blessing, through its representative [Mahmoud Abbas] - of the Palestinian Authority! It's an attitude
that steamrolls other factions that have denounced Abbas'
alignment with the positions of Israel and the United States, thus preventing
the aggressor from being held accountable for his crimes before the
International Criminal Court. For the Palestinians, this is another “Nakba,”
which again establishes the geopolitical immunity of Israel before U.N. bodies.
But should we be surprised by this rescue of that soldier, “Israel”? Of course not. Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu warned on
the eve of discussions [with Abbas] in Geneva, that
if the report were adopted, Israel would see "that its right to self-defense
is denied," and that it would be unable to take additional steps or additional
risks in the direction of peace.

After this abject blackmail that tramples
on international law and defies this human rights “whatsit”
at the U.N., Netanyahu's deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon, went further by
warning that the Palestinians, "cannot try and talk peace on the one hand
and attack us on the other." In other words, Ayalon
seemed to be saying, “you're not going to force us to
answer for our crimes and ask us later to resume the peace process!” We are
therefore being told to bury the Goldstone Report along with the 1,400 victims of Gaza for as
long as possible in order to conceal the Holocaust committed last winter. Furthermore,
this is a hoax that benefited from the benevolenceof the United
States, which chose the occasion to retake its seat on the U.N. Human Rights
Council - a responsibility it had long shirked.
It's no coincidence that this
country [the U.S.], so ready to break with Iran, Sudan, and other weaker nations, and
which is so quick to obtain restrictive resolutions against its adversaries
whenever it sees fit, should "welcome” the postponement of a vote. The
United States declared, “We also encourage domestic investigations of credible
allegations of violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.” Yes
- when it’s Israel in the dock, the Americans merely “encourage,” those who worship
“order” or even “threats”…

It should be said in passing that
this scandalous postponement of a review of the Goldstone Report - which
incidentally is not in itself entirely fair, as it throws together the aggressor and the attacked -
proves again, as if it were necessary, the incredible impunity enjoyed by the
Hebrew State within forums of international regulation. This affair also lays bear that the protection of human rights is a
geographic variable that depends on whether the perpetrator of abuse is Arab,
Muslim, is from the “Third-World,” or from what the world calls a “civilized” nation.

Countries and leaders, who lack
the “scent of sanctity" as far as Uncle Sam is concerned, have been dragged through the mud for much less than the
carnage committed by Israel in Gaza. One need only recall the animosity shown to
Syria during the investigation into the assassination of slain Lebanese Prime
Minister Rafik Hariri; the outcry against Iran in the wake of its
repression of post-election protesters; or even the issuance of an
international arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.
In contrast, the United
States and its allies in “Old Europe” haven't thrust out their chests in the
face of a Chinese regime that has bloodily repressed its Uighurminority
as a matter of course, and Russia, which has “spanked” its ally Georgia a year
ago. But that’s how it is: the world is unjust and the U.N. is an instrument of
Western hegemony. It is this that has made the world so insane.
