The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution that calls a UN-backed Gaza War crimes <br />report "irredeemably biased."<br /><br />Largely a symbolic gesture, the non-binding vote urges the Obama administration to oppose any <br />endorsement of Justice Richard Goldstone's findings.<br /><br />Goldstone's report accuses both Israel and Palestinian armed groups of committing violations of <br />international humanitarian law during the war on Gaza.<br /><br />It calls on Israel and Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, to carry out independent investigations into alleged abuses.<br /><br />Brian Baird, a Democratic congressman, told Al Jazeera that the congressional resolution does <br />not correctly represent the Goldstone report, but Steve Rothman, a Democratic congressman from New Jersey, has said that the report does not give enough attention to violations committed by Palestinians.
