1. so only israel haters are qualified to investigate?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (06.15.10)
it sounds as if only those who have a contempt for israel can give an unbiased judgment, even though that is a complete contradiction. maybe that explains why goldstone was chosen for the previous inquiry.
2. Reverse Goldstone Report
Stan ,   Johannesburg RSA   (06.15.10)
Well done Israel!! Take the initiative and expose the terrorists on Israels terms and conditions. Maybe now we will see what an truthful investigation is all about. Time to hand these "leftist jihadis" a "reverse goldstone". Watch them wimper and wail when faced with the truth!!
3. #1, of course
Danny   (06.15.10)
You honestly believe that Turkey is interested in the facts?
4. Why?
Eran ,   Singapore   (06.15.10)
Why isn't there a Turk/Western "Pro-Gays in Gaza" movement; or a "Support women's rights in Gaza" movement etc.? Ans: because no-one "really" cares about the Gazan's... all they want to do is bash the Jews.

6. This balances the Goldstone appointment
Sarah ,   Jerusalem   (06.15.10)
7. israel is a war criminal, everybody knows this already

8. Goldstone bashers
Said ,   Amman, Jordan   (06.15.10)
It seems the old idiom of "if you repeat a lie long enough it becomes the truth," hold true. Here are some facts for you: 1. Goldstone describes himself as a Zionist, and a friend of Israel. He has visited Israel and has family living there. 2. Goldstone's report indicates that both Israel and Hamas "may" have committed war crimes. 3. Israel refused to cooperate with Goldstone, even though he asked Israel to do so well before he began his investigation. This lead to the did not have its point of view represented in the final report. 4. Israel began accusing Goldstone and the whole investigation of bias even before the report was published, and resorted to character assassination and smears rather than a serious discussion. But don't let facts get in the way of your delusions: you can happily live in your cocooned world where everybody hates you, all the world's an enemy of Israel and you're the only ones who know of truth and justice. What I really wonder, however, is that if the inquiry comes out showing that Israel was in the wrong, what kind of slander and smears you're going to spread against Lord Trimble, so you can continue living in your fantasy world?
9. It's a farce
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (06.15.10)
They may as well have chosen Arien Sharon as Trimble is as biased toward Israel.
10. Fait accompli
op ,   ni   (06.15.10)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was convinced that the committee will find that Israel's actions were "beyond reproach." - is there really any point in continuing with this farce? - it's outcome is already decided.
11. its like replacing the judge in court by the acused mum
(06.15.10)
12. Yeah, this will be a real unbiased report
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.15.10)
What a joke.
13. to #7
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (06.15.10)
your prophet is a war criminal! Israel has the right to defend itself and will continue defending itself from the followers of your prophet!
14. #8, did you bother listening
Danny   (06.15.10)
to what the other contributors to the Goldstone report wrote? You bother checking what his mandate was? You bother checking when he tried to be balanced what the UN decided to cherry pick? The fact that the Goldstone investigation was pre-ordained to come to a set conclusion no matter what is so glaringly obvious.
15. Yes .. This is the best. :)
martinov ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (06.15.10)
Yes .. This is the best. Only the guilty and his lawyers. No Judges, No prosecutors .
16. Goldstone was objective
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.15.10)
But because Israel did not like the result, he was demonized. Face it, the only report Israel will ever consider objective is one that takes their side.
17. when will Trimble & Watkin get Israel's citizenship?
observer   (06.15.10)
