Israel's Ambassador to the UK, Ron Prosor, writes in the London Times: A farcical attempt to paint Israel black - The UN Human Rights Council's report into the Gaza conflict is a shamefully biased document: "In the history of international organisations it is hard to conceive of an institution less fit for purpose than the absurdly titled UN Human Rights Council..."

Elder of Ziyon continues his investigation: Goldstone Report inaccuracies, part 16. In this he exposes the credulous acceptance of the testimony of Gaza police spokesman Islam Shahwan.

You remember Shahwan. UN Watch has another good reminder: Goldstone report cites same Hamas witness who claims Israel distributes libido-increasing gum. A real court would never put this guy on the stand...but that's the UN for you. It's not a real court.

UN Watch has more important information: Dramatic U.N. Clash; Israeli Rocket Victim Asks Goldstone: "Why Were You Silent?": "My name is Dr. Mirela Siderer. I am a gynecologist living in Ashkelon, Israel." There is video at the link. Her original testimony is posted here.

Prof. Elihu D. Richter, at the JPost, Goldstone, Rwanda, Hamas, Iran and incitement to genocide: "...I personally submitted a nine-page, annotated and referenced brief to the Commission last July. Goldstone's claim that the Commission was driven by the evidence is refuted by the fact that the Mission ignored my brief and its attached evidence..."

Daled Amos has a translation of an article by Prof. Amnon Rubinstein: Goldstone's Unconscious Humor. It's very good, but I disagree that Israel should go to any extraordinary measures to appoint a special investigation of its own to investigate allegations. They should (and are) go through their normal processes.

Yaakov is on fire: Richard Goldstone- Don't call him "Justice": "...This guy thinks it is about justice!?!?! Or at least that is how he couches it. Jews are not asking for justice- just the permission to defend ourselves against terror. The Palestinians are not looking for justice- How many times do they have to tell the world that all they desire is the annihilation of Jews?..."

Rabbie Jonathan Ginsberg goes after another member of the clergy: Brent Rosen's Tribune article 100% wrong: "I am disgusted by a piece that a Rabbi had published in the Chicago Tribune on Erev Yom Kippur. In a nutshell: He has it totally backwards: This biased, dishonest report of the UN distances us from a just and peaceful solution..."

At Volokh, David Bernstein has a quick look at the ongoing Human Rights Watch meltdown, this time in relation to the report: Congo, Sudan, and Israel: "...Check out [Sarah Leah] Whitson's latest quote: '"The Obama administration cannot demand accountability for serious violations in places like Sudan and Congo but let allies like Israel go free." Apparently, she can't, or won't, distinguish between what's been going on in Sudan and Congo from what happened in Gaza last Winter..."

The Israelis continue to have fun at Goldstone's expense:
