"As if that wasn't nauseating enough, I've also read an article in
the Israeli daily Haaretz about Power's recent job in the White House. In 2009,
she played a "central role," the paper says, in coordinating contacts between
the US and Israel on managing the political fall-out of Israel's attack on Gaza
at the beginning of that year. Power helped Israel to minimize the damage caused
by the Goldstone report, the findings of a UN mission that Israel had
perpetrated war crimes. This, let us remember, was the same Samantha Power who
advocates "atrocity prevention" and the "responsibility to protect."
Palestinians attacked by Israeli and American weapons, however, are not deemed
worthy of protection."
