THEY DIDN'T EVEN READ THE GOLDSTONE REPORT

House of Representatives condemned the Goldstone report. See if
your representative voted "yes" and is owned by AIPAC HERE so you can vote them out of office for working for a foreign country and putting Israel's illegal interests above America's.
Writing in Politico yesterday, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) strongly
criticized the House vote:

Congress is poised to oppose the Goldstone report
without holding a single hearing on a document that few members of Congress, if
any, have read.


This is a mistake. The stance of this Congress will erode U.S. credibility in the post-Obama world, and it will tarnish our commitment to the principle that all nations must be held to the same standards.
We stand for the values of democracy, truth and justice.

There is no reason for Congress, Israel or any other party to fear an honest judge. Richard Goldstone is such a judge, and his report should be studied, not dismissed.

Ellison is right. The House cast a cynical vote; one that, no doubt, many are
ashamed of. The United States should be an honest broker between Israelis and
Palestinians, not act as if "Israel Is Us." Actions like the House's yesterday
are not just wrongheaded, they endanger America's security. We simply cannot
afford to have every Muslim and Arab on the planet believe that our concern for
human rights extends to everyone, but not to them. We need a course correction
fast, for the sake of Israelis and Palestinians, but mostly for our own.

ISRAEL OWES GAZA 4,152,500 SHEKELS or 1,121,789 US DOLLARS


So I came across this article on the Jewish Anti-Occupation activist Ezra Nawi who was arrested and then fined by an Israeli court for assaulting polices officers when he was protesting against house demolitions in the West Bank. The judge find him 750,000 shekels, or $230,114 US dollars, PLUS another 500 shekels for EACH officer he assaulted or injured. See here:

An Israeli court on Wednesday sentenced a prominent Jewish anti-occupation activist to one month in prison for allegedly assaulting a police officer during the demolition of Palestinian houses in the West Bank.The Jerusalem Magistrate Court also ordered activist Ezra Nawi to pay a fine of 750,000 shekels (roughly 203,114 US dollars), and an additional 500 shekels (135 US dollars) to each officer he supposedly struck.

So the way I see it, Israel then owes Palestinians inside Gaza a whole bunch of Shekels or Dollars as well. So, I figured it out for Israel, just to be helpful to them ;o): Let’s see now, we have the original fine of 750,000 shekels, plus another 500 shekels for EACH Palestinian killed in Gaza, so 1455 killed gives a sum of 737,500 Shekels or $196,425 dollars for those killed. Then we have all those injured ones as well to include, that’s 5350 Palestinians injured, so that comes to another 2,675,000 Shekels, or $722,250 Dollars. Then when we have to combine the original fine, plus all the dead and injured and the grand total owed by Israel is 4,152,500 Shekels, or $1,121,789 US dollars. PAY UP ISRAEL!

Israel Lays "Guilt Trip" on Spain Over Censorship Refusal

2. Others who exercise their “ Freedom of Speech” will be jailed

Now see if YOU can spot the irony and double standards in this article below. HINT: the red text is the double standards and irony;o)
Spain daily to run interview with Holocaust denier

MADRID — A Spanish newspaper is defending its plans to publish an interview this weekend with a British writer who denies the Holocaust, despite a furious complaint from Israel.

The center-right daily El Mundo plans to run the interview Saturday with David Irving, who served 13 months in prison in Austria after being convicted there in 2006 over charges he denied the Nazis exterminated 6 million Jews. (Notice how his "Freedom of Speech" resulted in a jail term!)

It is part of a series of six interviews with World War II experts, timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the war's outbreak.

El Mundo said Thursday it wants to publish "innovative" views on World War II for the anniversary. The paper rejects Israel's assertion that this is a case where freedom of speech should be limited, the paper's deputy editor Juan Carlos Laviana said.

Israeli Ambassador Raphael Schutz condemned the newspaper's plans as an insult to its readers, to legitimate historians and to the concept of free speech. link
