Israel: UN 'detached from reality' for adopting Goldstone report

Israel on Friday rejected a United Nations General Assembly resolution urging an investigation into a report saying war crimes were committed in Gaza, and condemned the world body vote as "completely detached from realities".

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said in response to Thursday's vote that Israel "maintains the right to self-defense", and would "continue to act to protect the lives of its citizens from the threat of international terrorism".

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Wow, for Israel, throwing white phosphorous on a bunch of kids constitutes "self-defense"!

As reported on 23 January, 2009 in:

"The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has reported a brigade of paratroop reservists fired about 20 white phosphorus shells into the built-up area of Beit Lahiya on January 17, which landed in the UN-run compound where the two Palestinian children were killed and severe burns were inflicted on 14 other people."

It is Israel which is 'detached from reality' by not admitting what they did here, and take the steps necessary to guarantee that it never happens again.
