Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu directed the defense, justice and foreign ministers at Thursday's cabinet meeting to present him with proposals, by next week, on how to fight what he called the delegitimization of Israel that goes beyond the Goldstone Commission Report.
"We have to now deal with this trend of demonizing Israel," Netanyahu said. "It is bigger than Goldstone."
...
Netanyahu again warned that moving the report out of Geneva would strike a major blow on three fronts:
• It would impair the international community's war against terrorism, "since it will afford total legitimization to terrorists who fire upon civilians and who hide behind civilians." • It would significantly damage the stature of the UN, and "return it to its darkest days, in which it could make the most absurd decisions, which would empty it of all substance and significance." • It would "strike a fatal blow to the peace process, because Israel will no longer be able to take additional steps and take risks for peace if its right to self-defense is denied."
