Chris McGreal in the Guardian does a copy and paste job of claim and counter claim with no attempt at analysis or telling comment: A United Nations panel of human rights experts has accused Israel of war crimes through willful killing, unnecessary brutality and torture in its "clearly unlawful" assault on a ship attempting to break the blockade of Gaza in May in which nine Turkish activists died. McGreal "balances" this with: Israel swiftly dismissed the accusations as "politicised and extremist" ... Last month, Israel's military commander, Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, defended his forces' use of live ammunition during the assault on the ship, saying that commandos had not expected to meet such violence from the activists and were forced to defend themselves when they came under attack. <br />

Israel's taste and desirehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/97726#comment2734932010-09-24T00:24:42+00:00Danny FeinsteinThe Israeli "liberal" newspaper is reporting that Israeli PM, Netanyahu, is of t...The Israeli "liberal" newspaper is reporting that Israeli PM, Netanyahu, is of the view that the United Nations report on the Gaza flotilla raid is "biased and distorted" and the group responsible is "obsessed with targeting Israel." ... "The entire world saw videos of soldiers coming onto the deck of the Marmara ship into a pre-planned, violent ambush of terror-supporters who tried to kill with clubs and knives," Further, the Israeli Foreign Ministry opined that the Human Rights Council had a "biased, politicized and extremist approach". Barak Ravid finishes his report with a flourish: The Human Rights Council, based in Geneva, was re-established in 2006 by then UN Security General, Kofi Annan, following accusations that its predecessor, the UN Commission on Human Rights,openly and systematically discriminated against Israel. But the new body has also passed several resolutions condemning Israel over the past few years, especially for its actions in the Palestinian territories, and is often of accused of unfair bias against Israel. <br />
<br />
Now that it's clear the UN HRC is obsessively targetting and systematically discriminating against Israel, it's to be expected that, shortly, Obama will be commanding cypher-man, Ban Ki-moon, to "re-establish" that body further to Israel's taste and desire.?<br />
