Goldstone Report

Goldstone’s retraction should be a watershed moment

Jewish Journal April 6, 2011

Better late than never, but not much better. How else can one respond to the belated retraction by Judge Richard Goldstone of the key allegations in the outrageous report he authored into Israel’s Operation Cast Lead against Hamas terrorists in Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009? Blatantly dishonest and biased, what became known as the Goldstone Report served as the most vicious instrument of defamation and delegitimization against the Jewish state for decades. It gave heart to terrorists; it gave hope to anti-Semites; and it gave every twisted calumny against the State of Israel a new lease on life.

Now that Goldstone has changed his mind, what’s next?

Jewish Journal April 5, 2011

What happens now with the Goldstone Report may well be up to Goldstone. Richard Goldstone’s April 2 Op-Ed in the Washington Post disavowing his earlier assumption that Israel had committed war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity during the 2009 Gaza war has left pro-Israel activists wondering: What next?

Voices needed to spread the truth

Jewish Journal April 5, 2011

With Richard Goldstone himself admitting that the infamous Goldstone Report was critically flawed, this is the best opportunity we have had in two years to bring to light the misconceptions of Operation Cast Lead. In his April 2 Op-Ed in The Washington Post titled “Reconsidering the Goldstone Report on Israel and War Crimes,” Goldstone rebukes the very principles linked to Israel following the report submitted under his name to the U.N. Human Rights Council.

After bombshell Op-Ed, questions for Richard Goldstone and Israel

Jewish Journal April 5, 2011

Richard Goldstone’s original U.N. report on the Gaza war of 2008-09 landed like a bombshell in the PR war over Israel, damaging Israel’s reputation around the world with its finding that Israel potentially committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during its three-week war against Hamas.

Goldstone would have to request that U.N. dump report

Jewish Journal April 4, 2011

Richard Goldstone would have to ask the United Nations on behalf of his committee to rescind its report on Israel\’s actions during the 2009 Gaza war to set such an action in motion, a U.N. spokesman said. The U.N. Human Rights Council, which commissioned the report, has not received such a request, The Associated Press reported Monday.

Israel launching drive to void Goldstone Report

Jewish Journal April 3, 2011

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would launch an international campaign to cancel the Goldstone Report after its author, ex-South African Judge Richard Goldstone, wrote in an Op-Ed in the Washington Post that Israel did not intentionally target civilians as a policy during the Gaza War, withdrawing a critical allegation in the report.
