    Peres and Ban on Friday also discussed the impasse in Middle East peace talks and the Goldstone report, a highly critical U.N. report on Israel’s 2008-2009 offensive in Gaza by South African jurist Richard Goldstone.

    Peres is criticizing Goldstone for what he implies are contradictions.

    In the meeting with Peres, Ban condemned the recent rocket fire from Gaza and expressed concerns about Palestinian civilian casualties in Israeli military operations.

    I love the way ban can’t hide his true colors of bigoted anti semite. always ready to condemn israel. never ready to condemn only palestinians. he always has to add he’s concerned about palestinian casualties. not that I’m for any casualties. I’m just against this disgusting anti semitism which always finds a way to support palestinians even where they deserve the stick.
