Israel Rejects UN General Assembly Vote In Support Of Goldstone Report Which Accuses Israel Of War Crimes

Reuters reports that "Israel on Friday rejected a U.N. General Assembly resolution urging an investigation into a report saying war crimes were committed in Gaza, and condemned the world body vote as 'completely detached from realities.' In a statement, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in response to Thursday's vote that Israel 'maintains the right to self-defence', and would 'continue to act to protect the lives of its citizens from the threat of international terrorism'."
