The Butcher of Gaza is coming to America

Attention all US law enforcement agencies!
Be on the look out: a war criminal is coming our way.
The Butcher of Gaza is coming to America.
One year after the first anniversary of the war on Gaza during which the Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] murdered 1,400 Palestinians including 400 children, the IDF and war criminal Lt. General Gabi Ashkenazi will be coming over for dinner.
The Gaza War was a three-week Israeli military assault that took place in the Gaza Strip during the winter of 2008–2009.
Ashkenazi who serves as Israel’s Chief of General Staff is scheduled to speak in Manhattan at a $1000-a-plate fundraising dinner to benefit the IDF.
According to the UN Mission Report headed by Justice Richard Goldstone, former member of the South African Constitutional Court and former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, Ashkenazi and other Israeli leaders
committed war crimes against civilians in Gaza.
Judge Richard Goldstone, a Jew himself, produced a report in September 2009 accusing both Hamas and the Israeli military of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity, and recommended bringing those responsible to justice.
Ashkenazi will be present at the Waldorf-Asoria Hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday, March 9th.
This man should be arrested, put on trial and prosecuted for war crimes against humanity instead of roaming the U.S. freely. Now is the time for justice to be served and the rules of law upheld!
Sincerely,
Mahmoud El-Yousseph

It's interesting that the article makes a point of mentioning that Judge Goldstone is Jewish. Being Jewish doesn't necessarily produce a blind devotion to the country of Israel or create a blind eye to Israel's war crimes. Not all Jews are Israelis and not all Israelis are Jews.
