Another in a long line of pathetic UN disgraces......
The UN has held an unprecedented public hearing in Gaza to broadcast live witness accounts from Palestinians who described seeing their relatives killed and injured during Israel's January war.
One after another, they detailed Israeli rocket strikes and artillery shelling near a mosque, a UN school and on several homes across Gaza during the three-week war. The two-day hearing is part of an inquiry by the UN human rights council into the war led by the respected South African judge, Richard Goldstone.
"The purpose of the public hearings in Gaza and Geneva is to show the faces and broadcast the voices of victims – all of the victims," Goldstone said last week. He had sat on South Africa's constitutional court after the fall of apartheid and was a chief prosecutor on the UN criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.

There's no difference in believability between these "eye witness accounts" than when a bunch of rednecks are interviewed and all claim to have seen UFOs.
They have videocameras in Gaza, but all we see after these horrific attacks on civilians is the same guy carrying around the same dead child (who may or may not have been a human shield) and posing in front of different collapsed buildings.

"the voices of victims – all of the victims,"
ALL except, of course, the JEWISH victims of pukestinian murderers.

Fuck the UN. I LOVE the fact that Israel is building more settlements in their country AS OF TODAY!
It spits in the face of the UN and O'Fuckwad Hitler Hussein.
I am loving every minute of it.

Here's hoping for a well-timed Israeli airstrike on Gaza!
Deez, don't forget the woman who apparently owns 20 homes and throws her arms up into the air each time one of them is "leveled."
Cal, amen.

It is time to kick the UN off American soil.
