Subject: RE: BS: Israel condemned by UN
I think I just substantiated the word "murderous" I applied to the Israeli government and the word "merciless", used by me to describe the IDF!

No you have not Don.
Much of it is about Egypt.
The stuff about Cast Lead is the usual bollocks.
This from the author of the UN report.

In April 2011, Justice Goldstone wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post stating: "If I
had known then what I know now, the Goldstone Report would have been a different
document." In the op-ed, "Reconsidering the Goldstone Report on Israel and war
crimes," Goldstone withdrew the report's most serious claim that the Israeli Defense
Forces intentionally targeted civilians during their operations in Gaza. The op-ed further
commended Israel's investigations into charges of abuse. As Justice Goldstone
concluded, "the investigations published by the Israeli military and recognized in the UN
committee's report…indicate that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of
policy."
