      <description>According to Al Jazeera, the impetus for the Goldstone Commission report came from the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)


The OIC, it should be remembered, opposed the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for Sudanese President Omar al&#45;Bashir. In other words, in the view of the OIC international law is war by other means. It is an instrument to be used for its members&#8217; benefit or ignored if inconvenient.


The Washington Post editorialized at the time:

&#8220;To be sure, some human rights groups have alleged crimes by Israeli forces in Gaza. But, according to Palestinian accounts, 1,409 people were killed during the offensive, of whom a substantial number were armed Hamas fighters. In contrast, the United Nations has reported more than 300,000 civilian deaths in Darfur as a result of the genocidal campaign sponsored by Mr. Bashir. Scores of villages have been systematically burned, and thousands of women systematically raped. Mr. Bashir responded to the ICC&#8217;s arrest warrant last month by expelling international aid groups from Darfur. The result has been growing food and water shortages and new epidemics, according to the Enough Project.&#8221;


BTW, 6,000 of those Sudanese refuges have come to Israel. Somehow, the Zionists seem less evil to them, then fellow Arabs.</description>
