This from UN Watch:
I'm here at the emergency session of the U.N. Human Rights Council, facing a draft resolution by the Arab and Islamic blocs that seeks to endorse the biased Goldstone Report—a 500-page document that falsely accuses Israel of “deliberate attacks” against civilians during its defensive war against Hamas rocket attacks last January. (For details, see www.unwatch.org/goldstone.)
Adoption of this dangerous text will trigger proceedings toward the indictment and prosecution of Israeli leaders and officers in the International Criminal Court. What’s at stake is the very survival of democratic societies under the assault of terrorists—enemies of human rights who cynically invoke its protective cover.
The debate began yesterday and reaches its climax today. UN Watch will be there to address the assembled delegates. Representing us will be none other than Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of the British forces in Afghanistan, an expert in military strategy, and a hero of our time. Col. Kemp will tell the U.N. exactly what he told the BBC: “During Operation Cast Lead, the Israel Defence Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.”
Then comes the critical vote. We need your help. The U.S. will oppose the resolution, but the influential European Union votes -- UK, Germany, France -- are still undecided. Act now: Click here to take action and urge E.U. leaders to Vote No. I thank all of you around the world who have already done so.
Thank you for helping to make a difference —
Sincerely,
Hillel C. Neuer
Executive Director
