Ilse Hadda Subject: Goldsstone report From: Ilse Hadda Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:11:36 -0800 To: mark regev Sir: I am writing to let you know that I am totally convinced that the Goldstone report is well balanced and that Israel has committed crimes against humanity and should be held accountable! (After all, the Goldstone report also accuses Palestinians of having committed war crimes!) I am a Jew, former refugee from Nazi Germany as well as former Zionist and have been extremely disappointed regarding Israel's racist, inhumane actions against Arabs! It is high time that Israelis as well as many pro-Zionist Jews all over the world realize that this is not helping the cause of either the Jews living in the rest of the world (it has actually caused much anti-Semitism!), nor those who are living in Israel! I applaud those Israelis who, like the Shimistim, are actively working against what the official government in Israel has been doing in terms of its policy against Palestinians. I am convinced that you will fail and hopefully will wake up in time to change and become accepting of those whom you believe to be your "enemies"! I would appreciate your passing my message on to the rest of Israel's representatives and of course, although I don't expect that you will honor me with a response, you will take my comments very seriously. Sincerely, Ilse Hadda I am forwarding my comment to Mark Regev, spokesperson to Netanyahu regarding the Goldstone report’s rejection.

Stephen Goldstein Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:28:34 +0000 http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/?p=6490#comment-2322 I'm of the same mind as Jeff Halper: "It was as if some official, perhaps on of President Obama's"czars,1like the Czar for Demolishing American Credibility", .had orchestrated a systematic campaign to isolate the U.S. from the rest of the world, make it a political laughing-stock . . ." The tacit reversals from the U.S initial initiative is completely disheartening. And Hilliary's dancing with Bibi is beyond dishonesty. Or whatever they were doing in the NYT photo on Sunday.
