"In the next 24 hours, the council will hold a vote, and if the council decides to adopt the Goldstone Report, it will harm the war on terrorism and it will grant legitimacy to terrorists who hide behind civilians," Netanyahu said.

Neve Gordon: Boycott Israel (20.08.09)
I am convinced that outside pressure is the only answer. Over the last three decades, Jewish settlers in the occupied territories have dramatically increased their numbers.
