Peace Crime!

George JONAS in the National Post has presented what I consider the final word on these outrageous charges made by the left against Israel. Among his main points:

• Judge GOLDSTONE's report was prepared by UN Human Rights Council - who's sterling members include Libya, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia!
• GOLDSTONE parrots the Arab allegations that Israel's defensive actions against Gaza in January 2009 was “a deliberately disproportionate attack designed to punish, humiliate and terrorize a civilian population, radically diminish its local economic capacity both to work and to provide for itself and to force upon it an ever-increasing sense of dependency and vulnerability.”
• No mention of what constitutes "a proportionate response" when one is being terrorized by "a belligerent intent on your destruction".
• where the international doctrine of "proportionality" existed before being brought up in his report (it didn't).
  
• failure to distinguish between aggressor and self-defense, ignoring the right and obligation of a state to stop rocket and mortar fire from reaching it's citizens and their children.
  
• if stopping rocket-launchers that target civilians is a war-crime, then criminalizing self-defense is a "peace crime".
• GOLDSTONE threatens to refer Israel's leaders to the International Criminal Court unless they investigate and punish some scapegoats. JONAS reminds us that Canada is a signatory to this UN legislation.
  

How disgusting.
