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 MUST BE SO PROUD OF AMERICA


The United States of Israel has just voted to condemn the goldstone report. With 344 in favor to 36 opposed, with 22 chicken shits who voted "absent" to support murder, slaughter, collective punishment, internment and ALL forms of International Law breaking. Israel has spent it's money well inside America. All those years of bribes, billions in campaign contributions and arm twisting has paid off big time for Israel. And to think, I thought the American slaves were freed, guess not.

Today America has done its masters bidding and voted to condemn the Goldstone Report, and in doing so sends a very CLEAR message to the Arab and Muslim world. That message says that equality under the law does not exist for you, legal avenues are shutdown for you, the law means nothing, it doesn't apply to you. And to think Obama wants to "extend the hand of friendship" to the Muslim world? When in fact his message has been heard loud and clear, choose violence and resistance over the law....THAT is America's message.
As expected, the House approved Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s (R-Fla.) resolution condemning South African judge Richard Goldstone’s inquiry for the United Nations into war crimes committed last year in Gaza by Israel and Hamas. The lopsided final vote was 344 in favor to 36 opposed, with 22 “present” votes. source
Although this is a non-binding resolution, Obama has never shown any backbone since he's been in office, hence I don't expect him to go against what the Zionist owned politicians voted for today.
