Rep.
Howard Berman Confronted Over "Goldstone Report!" Washington, D.C. -
On Nov. 3, 2009, on Capitol Hill, six activists from the "Coalition for
Free Gaza March," personally confronted Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA,) just
outside his office with respect to his knee jerk bashing of the
"Goldstone Report." The Congressman, who has close ties to AIPAC, one
of the most powerful arms of the Israel Lobby, then quickly rushed
towards his private elevator with the activists hot on his heels.
Afterwards, at 10 A.M., the demonstrators calmly returned and strolled
into Room 2221, Rep. Bermans office, in the Rayburn Building. There,
they began reading the 575-paged UN Report of Judge Richard Goldstone.
