A few years back we had a loooong and drawn out 'debate' on Israel's actions in regards to Gaza. The accusation that Israel targeted civilians was thrown around based on a (flawed) report for the UN. Well, it seems that the reports author has backtracked on that accusation.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/reconsidering_the_goldstone_report_on_israel_and_war_crimes/2011/04/01/AFg111JC_story.html?wprss=rss_opinions But in the end it doesn't matter. Israel is still considered butchers no matter how many times the accusation is proven wrong. People remember the accusation, never the retraction. An interesting fact. The NY Times was the original paper to post Goldstone's op-eds. This time the op-ed was in the Washington post. Why not the NY Times? And why has the NY times all but ignored Goldstone's words. Oh, and I will not be able to respond to the firestorm of responses to this post till either later tonight or tomorrow. I've got a wedding to get to in half an hour. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:335933 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
