Israel’s calculated method of dismissing criticism of its policies is continuously displayed in the actions and conduct of its leaders. Arrogance and contempt are unmistakably some of the defining characteristics of a leadership foolishly believing that the protection it enjoys from the United States of America to perpetuate violations of human rights and war crimes will last forever.
If it harboured any notion that the American life-line will not only protect it from international censure but also prevent any actualization of policies it regards as detrimental to its survival as a Zionist state, Judge Richard Goldstone – himself Jewish and a lover of Israel – has served notice that the era of protectionism is not on.

Srinagar, February 09 (KMS): The All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has adopted novel way to garner public support against the killings in the Valley by launching a website through his I-phone. Placed under house arrest, Mirwaiz couldn’t march to the United Nations Military Observers Group here to register protest against the recent killings.
The APHC Chairman launched a website with his pre-recorded video-messages in English and Kashmiri tracing the history of Kashmir dispute and urging the people to voice their concern over the human rights violations by Indian troops. The website – http://web.me.com/mirwaiz/kashmir/Welcome.html – urges international community to take note of the rights violations and warns that delaying resolution of the Kashmir dispute will “continue to send thousands of innocent victims to graves.” He has also kept a link- http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/hr-kashmir – wherein people can express their concern over the rights abuses.
