UN ambassador:Goldstone Report was 'born in hate'

Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gabriela Shalev, attacked both the Goldstone Report and the UN General Assembly yesterday as being "irreparably tainted" and "bending both fact and law."

The ambassador also said the report, which accused both Israel and Hamas of war crimes during their war in the Gaza Strip in January, was "born in hate and prepared in sin."

"[The] report and this debate do not promote peace; they damage any effort to revitalize negotiations in our region," added Shalev, who was one of the first speakers at the assembly's debate on the report.
