Report confirms israel is Nazi

The israeli ambassador in Washington claims that a U.N. report into last winter's war in the Gaza Strip compares his country to Nazis, as the U.N. Security Council prepares to review the findings on Wednesday.

Ambassador Michael Oren accused [zionist] Richard Goldstone, the South African judge who headed an international panel that issued the report, of treating Israel worse than Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has denied the Holocaust and threatened to destroy Israel.

"The Goldstone report goes further than Ahmadinejad and the Holocaust deniers by stripping the Jews, not only of the ability and the need, but of the right to defend themselves," Mr. Oren wrote last week in the New Republic magazine.

He accused the Goldstone panel of portraying "the Jews as deliberate murders of innocents - as Nazis."

"And a Nazi state not only lacks the need and right to defend itself, it must be destroyed," Mr. Oren wrote.

He said israel opened its military strike after Hamas launched more than 7,000 rockets into israeli towns since 2005, when Israel withdrew from Gaza.

The Goldstone report accused israel and Hamas of war crimes and noted that it studied israel's methods of responding to the rocket attacks, not its justification. The report criticized Israel for attacking civilian targets, although israel has long accused Hamas of hiding rocket launchers in mosques, schools and civilian neighborhoods.

"If a country can be pummeled by thousands of rockets and still not be justified in protecting its inhabitants, then at issue is not the methods by which that country survives but whether it can survive at all," Mr. Oren said.
