NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- The U.N. General Assembly has called on Israel and the Palestinian Authority to investigate the alleged Gaza war crimes detailed in the Goldstone Report.
Richard Goldstone, a South African judge and former human rights investigator, reported Hamas and Israel both targeted civilians before and during Israel's invasion of Gaza in December. While Goldstone, a Jewish supporter of Israel, criticized Hamas, which effectively controls Gaza, for firing rockets at communities in southern Israel, he was far tougher on Israel.
