NEW YORK, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Jewish Committee sharply criticized South African Judge Richard Goldstone's verbal attack on Israel during a UN Human Rights Council debate concerning his commission's recent report on the Gaza conflict earlier this year.

"Judge Goldstone described Israel's own investigations into allegations of wrong-doing by IDF personnel as 'pusillanimous,'" said AJC Executive Director David Harris. "I wonder what is the appropriate word for the Goldstone Commission, which convicted Israel before its investigation had even begun, which barely mentioned the suffering of Israelis living with endless Hamas rocket attacks, and which received its mandate from the UN Human Rights Council - a body which, as the US Assistant Secretary of State noted in his statement, pays 'grossly disproportionate' attention to Israel."

How come the UN human rights council never investigates the palestinians or any other muslim group or country?

Maybe his honor knows what it takes to keep his position?
