*URGENT ACTION: US MUST VETO 'GOLDSTONE REPORT':

Israel targeted civilians”

Dear Julian*,
This week, at the urging of Libya, the United Nations Security Council has
moved up its next Middle East meeting at which the findings of the so-called
'Goldstone Report' will be raised.
This report, the latest outrage from the UN Human Rights Council, written by
a UN investigative team headed by Judge Richard Goldstone, a South African
Jew, alleges that Israel committed “war crimes” and “crimes against
humanity” during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza last December and January.
Worse, the report, in effect, compares Israelis to Nazis and other tyrants
by accusing Israel of deliberately targeting civilians.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center has communicated our concerns to United States
UN Ambassador Susan Rice urging the US to:

   1. Publicly and definitively denounce the so-called 'Goldstone Report'
   2. Veto any and all moves to bring the 'Goldstone Report' for
   consideration before the United Nations Security Council

*Ambassador Rice needs to hear from you
NOW*<http://www.wiesenthal.com/site/lookup.asp?c=lsKWLbPJLnF&b=5520409>
-
Together we need to challenge the 'Goldstone Report' because:

   - it is a 600-page hatchet job that falsely accuses Israel of “war
   crimes” and “crimes against humanity”
   - if its outrageous recommendations are accepted by the UN, Israeli
   soldiers and officials could be arrested and prosecuted by the International
   Criminal Court
   - left unchallenged, in the future, all nations could also be subject to
   prosecution for the “crime” of defending their citizens against terrorists

*Please act immediately*<http://www.wiesenthal.com/site/lookup.asp?c=lsKWLbPJLnF&b=5520409>
* – we need to get your message to Ambassador Rice in the next 24 hours.*
