UN Gaza Probe - A Blow to Peace or Justified Response???
 
Flying a bit under the radar in this country is the UN Gaza probe.
Depending on which site you click - you get a different story. I wanted to write this thread without attacking or justifying any of it ... kind of hard to do. I just do not understand what good can come from a report like this. Isn't the U.N. supposed to be an institution for peace?

This story is huge - the UN says both sides committed war crimes but Israel gets the blunt force of the report. The U.N. mentions Iran only once in the report. These are 3 of many ... another example of the media shaping opinion as opposed to reporting the news. Anyone hoping for peace in the region now realizes this report has severley set the peace process back ... very far back.

IMO this report was a blow to peace.

What will the Obama administration do?

Opinions?

Hope for peace in Gaza is constantly being dumped on by fools who think they know which side is more wrong. I have no hope for two peoples as stupid, stubborn and mutually WRONG ALL THE TIME as these two dopes, Israel and Palestine. Enough, already. Break out the nukes and do them both.
