JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli he Jewish New Year holiday, which begins Friday.
He said the U.N. report ignored Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza and the Palestinian rocket attacks that preceded Israel's invasion, adding that lessons must be learned for future agreements with the Palestinians.
He said world leaders cannot wait for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement to affirm Israel's right to protect itself.
"So I am telling international leaders: You are telling us that you support our right of self defense. Don't tell us that after the next agreement, tell us now," Netanyahu told Channel 2 TV. "Reject the findings of this commission."
The report of the U.N. commission, headed by South African justice Richard Goldstone, faulted Israel for civilian deaths in Gaza. Israel charged that Gaza's Islamic Hamas rulers were responsible for placing rocket launchers and forces in crowded neighborhoods. About 1,400 Palestinians were killed during the three-week conflict.

Ping.
Every nation has a right to self defense.
Unless we are going to see a CHANGE in this too.
May God bless and protect Israel.
I strongly support Israel and it's right of self defense, BUT Netanyahu should start by speaking to the millions of Jews in this Country that supported a muslim jew-hating kenyan for President.
Netanyahu: Leader of the Free World
The ancient Chinese strategist Sun Tzu observed that in war, "Let your great object be victory," and he was echoed by the 17th-century Austrian war thinker, Raimondo Montecuccoli. His Prussian successor Clausewitz added that "War is an act of violence to compel the enemy to fulfill our will." These insights remain valid today: Victory consists of imposing one's will on the enemy, which typically means compelling him to give up his war goals. Conflicts usually end with one side's will being crushed.

Obama and Mitchell reflect the Jesse Jackson policy:
"Zionists" get in the backseat--or better yet, the trunk--still better, under the car.
Netanyahu should do his existential duty, and defy Obama and his 57-state solution.
The leader of Israel must realize that because of Obama and his nefarious administration: Obama is no friend of the Jews or of Israel; ISRAEL IS ON IT’S OWN. Therefore, Israel, must do what Israel needs to do to protect itself from a nuclear Iran.
Every nation has a right to self defense.
In a sane world, this is true. But with Liberalism, one must lie down, bare one’s throat, and allow the predators to take their choice morsel from your guilt-ridden unworthy cadaver. Currently much of the Western world is bringing themselves into self-exinction after years of passivity and self-loathing being bred into them.
I support you 100%, Mr. Prime Minister!
About 1,400 Palestinians were killed during the three-week conflict.
