lpv:translated text	"The Goldstone report was very much the focus of attention last week, during the working visit to the Jewish state of the Delegation for relations with Israel. The delegation received detailed information about Israel’s judicial investigation during and after the military operation in Gaza, from both military and civilian representatives. This thorough investigation of their own actions provides a detailed rebuttal of the Goldstone report’s damning accusations against the Israeli authorities. Moreover, quite apart from the Goldstone report, the IDF, the Israeli armed forces, take any allegation levelled at them seriously and investigate them thoroughly. There is a marked contrast here between the IDF and Hamas, the terrorist movement that is to blame for the Gaza operation. When have we ever seen Hamas investigate its own actions? Mr President, the available documentation about the Gaza operation leaves us in no doubt about the answer to that. Hamas deliberately exposed Palestinian citizens to an acute threat of war, even in places likes mosques. In contrast, just consider the intentions and actions of the Israelis, consider the protection of the lives and property of Jewish citizens against Hamas’s terrorist rocket attacks, which have been going on for years, as well as Israel’s real concern for Palestinian lives. Look at all the precautions they took during the operation. Mr President, despite the intentions of the Goldstone report, this biased investigation leads to justification on two counts: that of Israel’s military operation against Hamas and that of Israel as a democratic state governed by the rule of law. You only need to visit the Middle East!"@en1
