Goldstone Report Approved despite Serious Flaws, like Suppressing Evidence
The UN "Human Rights Commission" and the GA adopted Goldstone''s Report with great Muslim-led majority. In the HRC 25 states voted for, 6 against, 15 abstained or absent. The US, Holland, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Ukraine voted ''against''. The US justified its vote by the report''s "major flaws".

Goldstone report - the terrorists' Magna Carta
The Human Rights Council''s obsession with targeting Israel is common knowledge. Since 2006, 5 of its 11 special sessions were devoted to the Jewish state. Yet in its resolution to establish the fact-finding mission in Gaza, the council outdid itself. By extremely biased wording, it called "to investigate all violations of international human rights law ... by the occupying power, Israel, against the Palestinian people... particularly in the occupied Gaza Strip, due to the current aggression..."

Goldstone Report Ignores Evidence
Our most serious charge is that Goldstone Report ignores crucial evidence. Take-A-Pen''s 2 large Submissions to the mission are mentioned solely in the Report''s Annexure and in a footnote. No sign that the Mission read them and used any word or hard evidence presented there. The same Mission which quoted tens of unsubstantiated pages by sources known of fierce anti-Israel bias, overlooked information and even hard evidence we and others submitted, if unfit for its predefined conclusions.

Israel's Analysis and Comments on the Goldstone Report
September 15th, 2009 Israel is appalled and disappointed by the Goldstone Report published on 15 September 2009 by the Gaza Fact Finding Mission. The Report effectively ignores Israel''s right of self defense, makes unsubstantiated claims about its intent and challenges Israel''s democratic values and rule of law.

Human Rights Council/Goldstone Report
September 15th, 2009 There have been tens of International inquiries into events in the Gaza Operation, and Israel has cooperated fully with almost all of them. Only in those instances where it seemed clear beyond any doubt that the initiative was motivated by a political agenda and not concern for human rights, did Israel decide not to cooperate. Unfortunately the Human Rights Council Fact Finding Mission (the "Goldstone Mission") was one of these.

NEW: Take-A-Pen's SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM to UN Fact-finding Mission - July 22
We present new hard evidence supporting one of the statements in our Memorandum to the UN: that Hamas deliberately committed a Human Shield war crime by exposing its own Protected Civilian Objects (schools, hospitals, mosques etc.) in Gaza to lethal danger. See 2 IDF aerial maps showing locations of rocket launchers adjacent to such PCO-s. Hamas’ hope was obviously to maximize its civilian casualties. This is a severe War Crime. It also explains at least part of the Palestinian civilian casualties.
