On June 28 and 29, 2009, the Goldstone Commission recorded Palestinian statements at the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City.

Any other country under the constant provocation that Israel has had over the years of her existance would have done FAR MORE in retaliation than Israel has done to date. Israel has shown immense patience with the pure unadultarated hatred and vitriol from the Arab countries surrounding her!
Why all this constant talk of a Palestinian state anyway? The UN gave them their state in 1947 - Jordan - and they turned it down! NO, NO, they want ALL of Israel! Well they won’t get it. God will have the last word on that one!!!
