		<description>Are you really trying to have a discussion here, or are you nitpicking us to death?   

The subject article is about Shimon Peres and his personal demonization of Richard Goldstone.  We do not need to continue to hash over the Goldstone Report, especially since you obviously did not read it.  You are wasting everyone&#039;s time and trying my patience.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;it as nonsense, because Hamas is in total control of Gaza strip and is fully responsible here.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
More nitwittery.  When Goldstone says the rockets are &quot;uncontrolled and uncontrollable&quot; he is NOT talking about Hamas&#039; ability to control their firing.  He is talking about the inability to control their trajectory &amp; where they land, meaning that the fact that they can be fired and hit a civilian target is a war crime.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;UNHCR is technically part of UN, but it well known for its anti-Israeli bias&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Blah, blah, blah.  You don&#039;t know yr UN agencies.  It is the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC).  UNHCR is the High Commissioner for Refugees.  As for the Council, yes it has that reputation.  But once again, the Report was not written, dictated or incluenced by the Council.  It was investigated &amp; written by Richard Goldstone, period.  NIce try in attempting to smear the report w. yet more red herrings.

&lt;blockquote&gt;w/o using any Israeli information or even Western Media reports.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
You&#039;re unbelievable ignorant &amp; yr comments are pure garbage.  First, Goldstone paid to have Israelis travel to Geneva to testify.  Witnesses included the mayor of Sdeort.  2nd, Israel refused to cooperate &amp; has only itself to blame.  THere are scores of Western media rpts included in the Report.

&lt;blockquote&gt;UN Watch&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I have no idea who or what that is.  But it&#039;s likely one of the neocon groups supported by people like John Bolton who detest everything the UN stands for.  Not a very credible source I&#039;m afraid.

All of these issues have been discussed before &amp; laid to rest before.  I have very little patience for commenters who dredge up all material that&#039;s already been resolved.  As I read yr comments, if this continues I won&#039;t be happy.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It was never changed&lt;/blockquote&gt;
That&#039;s a lie &amp; that&#039;s not what the final mandate was &amp; it WAS changed at Goldstone&#039;s insistence.  This was widely reported &amp; you simply have no excuse for attempting to pass off such falsehoods as truth.  I simply do NOT tolerate this in this blog.  You have been warned.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Goldstone report never actually condemns Hamas&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yes, because there were other armed groups than Hamas &amp; he wishes to use language that is accurate &amp; includes all known violators.  Hamas IS a Palestinian armed group, plain &amp; simple. If you or Dore Gold are attempting sophistry to say that term excludes Hamas or that Hamas views the term as excluding them is ridiculous &amp; isn&#039;t supported by a single iota of evidence.  Goldstone specifically says the term includes Hamas &amp; that this was his intention.  Everything else is bulls(&amp;t.

&lt;blockquote&gt;the OIC was the initiator of this process.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
First, this is a leader of that group seeking to take credit for initiating the Rpt.  Lots of people try to take credit for lots of things that make themselves or their employer look good.  You&#039;d have to provide further corroboration of this claim fr. a credible source before I&#039;d take it seriously.  I have no idea whether this is actually true or not.  But you once again have misspoken when you claim that OIC SPONSORED the Rpt., which it did not.  I have never heard any claim of any OIC involvement in the Rpt.  The group certainly didn&#039;t sponsor it &amp; certainly had absolutely no impact on the content of it.  So you&#039;ve dredged up a red herring.  Typical.

I see today you have published a very large number of comments.  When things like this happen I request that a commenter publish no more than 3 comments in a single day.  Please abide by this request in future.  That should give you more than sufficient opportunity to say anything you need to in a single 24 hr period.  I don&#039;t allow individual commenters to monopolize the threads with 5 to 10 or more comments in single day as some have done.  I respond to many comments &amp; don&#039;t want to spend all my time publishing replies to yours.</description>

		<description>Awamori, I will repeat, I will not do your research for you.  Read the report.  I do not have time or inclination to look through all 575 pages to find something to answer a question that is not relevant anyway.  You are absolutely incorrect when you make the claim that Hamas is not found to be in violation of international laws in the report.  Period.  I suspect that you simply watched Dore Gold and lapped up what he said without reading the report or doing any research on your own.  I see no point in continuing any discussion with you because of this.</description>
