| US senators attack Goldstone Report |
| 2009-10-30 |
| In the wake of the Goldstone Report and amid the nuclear threat from Iran, 10 state senators, through the American-Israel Friendship League and the National Conference of State Legislatures, are on a study tour of Israel. No. 1 on the meeting agenda? Goldstone. According to Georgia State Sen. Don Balfour, president of the NCSL, the Goldstone document is misunderstood in the United States. "Yesterday we had a meeting about the Goldstone Report. The average American says, 'Hey, war crimes? [with a shocked look on his face],' but then you read it and you see almost everything we [US] do is a war crime. "Sometimes there are civilian casualties, which is horrible. But is that a war crime? If so, that changes the way we define war," he said. If indeed the IDF is accused of war crimes, "Every soldier is going to be a war criminal. If you bomb an al-Qaida terrorist and one of their family members dies, that would be a war crime," Balfour said. Somebody gets it |
