Reconsidering the Goldstone Report on Israel and war crimes
By Richard Goldstone, Friday, April 1, 8:42 PM
The Washington Post
Big of him to admit it. One wonders why he felt suddenly compelled to do so in the Washington Post, and whether he will see this piece gets the official exposure the original did. |
Update: this Page A10 piece (front page of the website, though, all by itself with a line around it at the bottom of the articles) in the New York Times today provides background, although the dear old Grey Lady journalist feels compelled to add that really, those Israelis are not our sort of people. It seems a competing group issued a report two weeks ago, saying the Israelis have been good about investigating their accusations, unlike unrepentant Hamas, although Israel still refuses to investigate the crime of those who ordered and lead Operation Cast Lead. On the other hand, the original Goldstone Report will not be repudiated by the U.N. |
