DISGUSTING - AT 7:38 A.M. ET:  You're going to be reading about this - how the UN Human Rights Council, that vastly corrupt gang of dictators and their friends - has shown ultra-fairness by appointing an esteemed "Jewish" judge to investigate war crimes charges against Israel.  From the Jerusalem Post:

The United Nations on Friday appointed a former chief prosecutor for war crimes in Yugoslavia and Rwanda to lead a high-level mission to investigate alleged war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip

Richard Goldstone, a Jewish judge from South Africa, was named to head the investigation ordered by the Human Rights Council in January.

According to the mandate, the investigation will focus only on Palestinian victims of the three-week IDF operation against Hamas terrorists.

COMMENT:  This is cynical to the core.  First, note paragraph three.  The "Human Rights Council" has restricted the "investigation" only to Palestinian "victims."  In other words, the probe is rigged in advance.  Second, note paragraph two.  This guy is a judge in South Africa, a country whose foreign policy is militantly anti-Israel.  How did he do so well in South Africa? 

Now add this:  The same "Jewish" Richard Goldstone recently signed a petition calling for an investigation of the Gaza operation.  The signatories said they were "shocked to the core" by Gaza.  In other words, Goldstone has already expressed an opinion.  Other signatories were the usual anti-Israel suspects.

The "Human Rights Council" has done this before, appointing the despicable Richard Falk, a "Jewish" former Princeton professor to head another probe into Israeli actions.  The mainstream media never noted that Falk had a lifetime record as an America hater and Israel hater, and had become a 9-11 conspiracy theorist. 

We've seen that not all "Christians" are very Christian, and not all "Jews" are particularly Jewish.  Back in 1940 there were "Jews" who supported the Hitler-Stalin pact, long after the synagogues of Germany started to burn.  These "Jews" had found a new religion in Marxism.  And we've seen "Christian" groups, some associated with the National Council of Churches, who take some very un-Christian positions, like fronting for dictators.  Religious labels are very dicey.  You have to look at the individual and his or her record. 

Oh, among the other signers of the petition that Goldstone signed are Desmond Tutu, a professional Israel hater, and Mary Robinson, who presided over the UN's now infamous Durban conference of 2001, which degenerated into an anti-Western and anti-Semitic hatefest.  Goldstone certainly has great company.

Maybe Goldstone will rise above the UN and do a fair job.  But he'll have to show us.
