Currently, 43 Representatives already have signed on to the resolution as co-sponsors. If passed, this dangerous resolution would instruct the Obama Administration to continue its attempts to shield Israel from accountability for the war crimes it committed, as documented by the Goldstone Report, before, during, and after its assault on the Gaza Strip in December 2008-January 2009. The Goldstone Report is a balanced assessment, identifying human rights abuses and war crimes on the both the Israeli and Palestinian sides. Resolution 867 undermines the Obama Administration's rhetorical support for the universality of human rights and its stated commitment to holding human rights violators accountable. In addition, it contains numerous inaccuracies about and misleading characterizations of the Goldstone Report. A vote on this resolution may take place any day.
