In reply to the discussion: Exclusive: Schabas’ own colleague, human rights icon Aryeh Neier, calls for him to quit UN Gaza prob [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)6. Interesting Dave. Nothing you say here is true.
Goldstone retracted most of his report as he realized it was all bogus.
No, he didn't. Nothing of the sort, in fact. What he said was that had Israel participated, and provided the information that it did after the report was concluded, the report probably would have been different... in regard to Israel's intents in the operation. That's not a retraction. Also, "retraction" is formal movement to attempt to excise the work from the record. Goldstone never did this. Nor did the other three participants. Nothing was ever retracted.
But it makes you feel better to believe so, clearly. Especially now that it's pretty established that Goldstone's report was i nthe right all along and that israel does intentionally target civilians.
Schabas has already written his report.
Has he? Do you have a PDF I could read?
Jew hunt ?Again what's with your obsession? It's become ridiculous .
Well, when it is the just the Jews who are singled out and attacked for their participation on these fact-finding missions, misrepresented, threatened, bullied, and hounded... By people who are very prone to using such terms as "self-hating" or "disloyal" to describe Jews critical of Israel, or who like yourself or Rabbi Goldstone, are prone to "disowning" such Jews from the community?
