Israel: in a frenzy over the Goldstone Report

Israel is pulling out all stops in the attempt to have the UN resolution endorsing the Goldstone Report, which charges that nation with serious human rights violations, completely rejected. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other key government officials have contacted the leaders of UN member nations to try to convince them to support Israel's position in this matter. The problem is that Israel has no creditable position with regard to their overly brutal actions against the civilian population of Gaza.

Israel has been accused with human rights violations numerous times in the past but has managed to avoid severe censure, sanctions or other penalties. But this time the evidence appears to be very substantial. The report, submitted to the UN by Judge Richard Goldstone of South Africa, charges that Israel used disproportionate force, deliberately targeted civilians, used Palestinians as human shields, and destroyed civilian infrastructure during its incursion in December 2008 into the Gaza Strip to root out Palestinian rocket squads. It also cited Palestine, specifically Hamas, for human rights violations.

The U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva voted 25 to 6 on October 15 to endorse the report and send it to the U.N. Security Council for further action. The Human Rights Council resolution cites only Israel and not Hamas. Judge Goldstone, who agreed to lead the fact-finding mission only if he could investigate Hamas as well, has condemned the council for ignoring his findings on Hamas war crimes.

Much of the world will be watching closely to see what will transpire in the UN Security Council. The Council will be meeting very soon to begin debating the issue followed by a vote to either adopt it or reject it. The Council has fifteen members, with five permanent members having the right to veto the resolution and defeat it. The permanent members are Russia, China, France, the UK and the U.S. It takes a vote of nine members to pass a resolution as long as there is no veto. Member abstentions are not considered a veto and will not the defeat of a resolution.

Currently, the feeling seems to be that the permanent members, with the exception of the U.S., most likely will not veto the resolution and could very well abstain. That would mean that at least nine of the non-permanent members would need to vote in favor for passage with no veto. The U.S. might abstain but the chances for a vote to pass it are not very likely given our government's close relationship with Israel.

This will be a decision of monumental significance for President Barack Obama. Remember, he recently received the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. While many have criticized the decision by the Nobel Prize Committee, citing a lack of specific accomplishments by the president, the general consensus is that it was awarded because of his positive statements about diplomacy, world peace, and nuclear disarmament. The Committee is basing its decision on the great potential it envisions in his future actions.

The decision by Obama will truly be monumental. Without a doubt, the fact that he accepted the peace prize will put tremendous pressure on him to act in the best interests of human rights. The U.S. has made numerous vetoes on resolutions brought against Israel for alleged human rights over the years, which has kept Israel from being censured, but which has also made Israel more suspect in the eyes of the world. This will be no time for Obama to just continue to give them a free pass but a time that demands he carefully analyze the issue at hand and make a courageous decision.

Let's examine the pros and cons of this issue. The actions of Israel during its attack on Hamas in Gaza have been documented in depth by UN investigators and other human rights organizations. It is also well-documented that Hamas also violated human rights in rocket attacks aimed at Israeli cities and civilian populations. Why Hamas was not cited for violations when the UN Human Rights Commission endorsed the Goldstone Report is not known so the only issue left to debate is the charge of violations by Israel.

I clearly remember that during those attacks the president-elect, Barack Obama, was noticeably silent about the actions taken by Israel. He basically said nothing, indicating that it was not his place to take any stand because he was not yet in charge. While he had no authority to influence the situation by speaking out, I was very disappointed that he decided to remain completely silent.

Well, he now has no option of remaining silent for he is the one who will have to make a history-making decision. He will have tremendous pressure from Israel and its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as from AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group, and many members of the U.S. Congress. Netanyahu is making it known that if this resolution is passed it would have severe repercussions relative to any further peace discussions with Palestine.

Israel should understand that this time they may not escape censure because of the magnitude of the violations and the depth of the evidence presented. I believe that Israel is at the point that it must decide if it will finally become a full member of the world community of nations or if it will continue on a course that leads to even greater isolation. Over the 60 years since Israel became a sovereign state, it has been involved in numerous conflicts with its Middle East neighbors, even though not every confrontation was their fault.

But their continuing suppression of the Palestine people, threats to attack Iran, and their inability to use diplomacy rather than military actions are straining the Middle East to its limits. It appears that with their overly aggressive, brutal attack upon Gaza, and especially on the civilian population, they have now gone too far and must be reined in by the UN and the nations of the world.

This resolution specifically charges Israel with documented human rights violations. It has nothing to do with past alleged violations. President Obama, as he decides what he will do relative to the resolution, must put aside all that has transpired in the past and just concentrate on the issue and the evidence at hand. He must also resist every effort by those who promote their own cause at the expense of true justice, to influence his decision in any way.

The key factor in the decision on this resolution, once again, appears to be the U.S. and many observers believe that it will once again protect Israel by exercising a veto. The chances of Mr. Obama voting against Israel are little to none so what should he do? He should take the best option available and instruct our UN representative to abstain. By doing this, he will allow the other nations of the world to make the decision – the UN is a world body and this outcome would allow for true justice to be done.

However, if he follows the script used in the past and caves in to Israel's powerful interests, then the true depth of his character and credibility will be fully revealed for the world to see.

FBI arrests US scientist on spying charges

Stewart David Nozette attempted to pass on secrets to an FBI agent posing as an Israeli intelligence officer, say charges

A scientist credited with helping discover evidence of water on the moon has been arrested on charges of attempting to pass on classified information to an FBI agent posing as an Israeli intelligence officer.

The US justice department said Stewart David Nozette, 52, was charged with attempting to communicate, deliver and transmit classified information to an individual he believed to be an Israeli intelligence officer.

The criminal complaint against Nozette does not allege that Israel's government or anyone acting on its behalf violated US law. In Jerusalem, where the story broke late at night, Israeli government officials had no immediate comment.

Nozette, from Maryland, was arrested yesterday by FBI agents. He is expected to appear in federal court in Washington today.

In an affidavit supporting the complaint, Leslie Martell, a FBI agent, said that on 3 September, Nozette received a telephone call from an individual purporting to be an Israeli intelligence officer. The caller was an undercover FBI agent.

Nozette agreed to meet with the agent later that day at a hotel in Washington. During the meeting the two discussed Nozette's willingness to work for Israeli intelligence. The scientist allegedly said that he had, in the past, held top security clearances and had access to US satellite information, the affidavit said.

Nozette also was alleged to have said he would be willing to answer questions about this information in exchange for money. According to the affidavit, the agent explained that the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, would arrange for a communication system so Nozette could pass on information in a post office box.

Nozette agreed to provide regular, continuing information and asked for an Israeli passport, the government alleged.

The affidavit then alleged the following sequence of events:

• 4 September: Nozette and the agent met again in the same hotel. The scientist allegedly said that while he no longer had legal access to any classified information at a US government facility, he could, nonetheless, recall classified information by memory. He allegedly asked when he could expect to receive his first payment, saying he preferred cash amounts "under 10,000" so he would not have to report it. (Anti-money laundering laws require that all transactions of $10,000 (£6,000) or more must be reported to the US tax authorities).

Nozette allegedly told the agent, "Well, I should tell you my first need is that they should figure out how to pay me ... They don't expect me to do this for free."

• 10 September: Undercover FBI agents left a letter in the designated post office box, asking Nozette to answer a list of questions about US satellite information. The agents provided a $2,000 cash payment. Serial numbers of the bills were recorded.

• 16 September: Nozette was captured on videotape leaving a manila envelope in the post office box. The next day, agents retrieved the sealed envelope and found, among other things, a one-page document containing answers to the questions and an encrypted computer thumb drive.

One answer contained information, classified as secret, that concerned capabilities of a prototype overhead collection system.

• 17 September: Agents left a second letter in the post office box with another list of questions about US satellite information. The FBI also left a cash payment of $9,000. Nozette allegedly retrieved the questions and the money the same day.

• 1 October: Nozette was videotaped leaving a manila envelope in the post office box. FBI agents retrieved it and found a second set of answers. The responses contained information classified as top secret and secret, involving US satellites, early warning systems, means of defence or retaliation against large-scale attack, communications intelligence information, and major elements of defence strategy.

Nozette had worked in varying jobs for the department of energy, the national aeronautics and space, and in the national space council in the president's office in 1989 and 1990.

The scientist developed the Clementine bistatic radar experiment that purportedly discovered water on the south pole of the moon. He worked from approximately 1990 to 1999 at the department of energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, where he designed highly advanced technology.

At the department of energy, Nozette held a special security clearance equivalent to the defence department top secret and "critical nuclear weapon design information" clearances. Department of energy clearances apply to access to information specifically relating to atomic or nuclear-related materials.

Nozette also held top offices at the Alliance for Competitive Technology, a nonprofit company that he organised in March 1990. Between January 2000 and February 2006, Nozette, through his company, had several agreements to develop advanced technology for the US government.

He performed some of the research and development at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency in Arlington, Virginia, and at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland.

UN backs Gaza war crimes report

The UN human rights council has endorsed the Goldstone report on Israel's war on Gaza, which accuses the military of using disproportionate force as well as laying charges of war crimes on Israeli occupation forces and Hamas.

The council's resolution adopting the report was passed in Geneva by 25 votes to six with 11 countries abstaining and five declining to vote.

The inquiry, lead by Justice Richard Goldstone, calls on Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, to monitor whether Israel and Hamas conduct credible investigations into the conflict which took place last winter.

Should the two sides fail to do so, it calls on the UN Security Council to refer the allegations to the International Criminal Court.

Hamas 'thankful'

The Palestinian Authority had initially agreed to defer a vote on the UN-sanctioned report, but later backtracked under domestic criticism.

Abstentions: Belgium, Bosnia, Burkina-Faso, Cameroon, Gabon, Japan, Mexico, Norway, South Korea, Slovenia and Uruguay

No vote: UK, France, Madagascar, Kyrgyzstan and Angola

The United States and Israel were among those countries which voted against the resolution.

Mike Hanna, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Geneva, said the vote was a "very strong victory" for the supporters of the resolution, but that the large number of abstentions was also "very significant".

Mousa Abu Marzook, the deputy chairman of the Hamas political bureau in Damascus, Syria, told Al Jazeera: "We thank our people, all those who support to submit again this report to the human rights committee and all the countries who voted for the report.

"I think if the Palestinian Authority didn't withdraw this report it will be more efficient and the result will be stronger than the resolution.
 
"We will co-operate with this report and we will establish a new committee to investigate.

"Right now, there is no talking with Fatah, but during the dialogue between Fatah and Hamas in Egypt, within a few weeks, we are going to talk about reconciliation and, of course, this kind of subject we are going to talk about."

Israel condemned

In addition to endorsing the report, the resolution "strongly condemns all policies and measures taken by Israel, the occupying power, including those limiting access of Palestinians to their properties and holy sites".

It also calls on Israel to stop digging and excavation work around the al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem as well as other Islamic and Christian religious sites.

Israel rejected the charges saying the resolution – drafted by the Palestinians with Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Tunisia, on behalf of non-aligned, African, Islamic and Arab nations – threatened peace efforts.

A statement from the Israeli foreign ministry said: "The adoption of this resolution by the UNHRC impairs both the effort to protect human rights in accordance with international law and the effort to promote peace in Middle East".

Sherine Tadros, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Jerusalem, said: "Israeli officials we spoke to said that in their opinion most of those states that voted in favour of the resolution did so, not out of conviction, but really for their own domestic reasons - to cover up their own human rights violations.

"Whereas democratic states didn't favour the resolution, either they didn't vote or they abstained or they voted no.

"This has really been Israel's line of defence from the beginning of this process - to try to discredit the Goldstone mission and the resolution by discrediting the human rights council itself.

"By saying that its members have always been overwhelmingly biased against Israel and really trying to land Israel in hot water whatever motion was in front of them," she said.

'Rights undermined'

The Goldstone report recommended that its conclusions be sent on to the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor in The Hague if Israel and Hamas do not hold their own credible investigations into allegations of war crimes within six months.

By Ayman Mohyeldin in The Middle East blog
The report accused Israel of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

It also accused the Hamas movement, which has de facto control of Gaza, of war crime violations, but reserved most of its criticism for Israel.

Amr Hamzawy, a political scientist, told Al Jazeera: "The [endorsement] is a very positive step and indeed a victory for Palestinian-Arab diplomacy after the misery of the last two weeks.

"It definitely eats away at Israel's moral legitimacy which existed to an extent before the Lebanon and Gaza war.

"Israel is under extreme legal pressure internationally and morally, and they really have to account for what [happened] in Gaza during the war," he said.

At least 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed during Israel's war on Gaza [EPA]
On Thursday, Navi Pillay, the UN human rights chief, endorsed the report, calling for "impartial, independent, prompt and effective investigations" into the alleged war crimes.

Pillay said: "A culture of impunity continues to prevail in the occupied territories and in Israel," Pillay said during the UN Human Rights Council's special debate session on the report on Thursday.

In her speech, Pillay cited concern about the restrictions on Palestinians wishing to enter al-Aqsa and expressed "dismay" about the Israeli blockade of Gaza that she said "severely undermines the rights and welfare of the population there".

On Thursday, Goldstone, a former South African judge, criticised the resolution, saying: "I hope that the council can modify the text."

About 1,400 Palestinians – the majority of them civilians - and 13 Israelis were killed during Israel's three-week war on Gaza, which had the stated aim of stopping rocket attacks by Palestinian fighters from the coastal territory.
