But for those who are interested in truth and justice, not to mention democracy, the highlight of what passed for debate was the [...]

The UN Human Rights Council (HRC) Resolution based on the Goldstone Report is a damning condemnation of Israel. The original meaning of being "caught red-handed" was literally being "caught bloody-handed," with the victim's blood on one's own hands.
