1. ALL LIES FROM LIARS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.14.11)
First as we all know...or at least should know...Christine Chinkin, one of the other three members. made statements that were a clear indication that Israel was guilty, BEFORE any hearings were held. In fact those remarks would have been enough for her to recuse herself because of bias. In our court system it would have been enough to overturn any trial. When the trial judge is proved to be that bias. In addition, this quote from the three others is a blatant Lie, as we see HERE: "Nothing of substance has appeared that would in any way change the context, findings or conclusions of that report," But we have this which proves that statement to be a LIE, HERE: "Colonel Richard Kemp Challenges Goldstone Report.." Copy and paste this to the address bar at the top of your page. It will take you to a video of Col. Richard Kemp at the UN, in front of the Human Rights Council. He completely contradicted the entire report and all it's main conclusions/ So the statement that nothing else has appeared to corroborate Goldstone's retraction is A LIE. But who would be surprised that the UN lies when it comes to Israel. Their well known bias has always been evident, as it it here.
2. in the accompanying photo... are those
seadog1946 ,   ErieBasin, NYC   (04.14.11)
ghostly voodoo arrows sticking in Goldstone's chest?
3. The chink in their armour
Ehoop ,   UK   (04.14.11)
is how they "researched", picking and choosing from among the evidence that they had and choosing lies rather than facts. That much is known. The consequence is that they have blood on their hands, since their report is referenced by apologists for Palestinian terrorism, encouraging more acts of violence, since the terrorists believe they can do what they do with impunity. The commission members are a disgrace.

proud aussie ,   australia   (04.14.11)
is an oxymoron, a pakistani human rights lawyer.
5. to #1
Mark ,   J-lem   (04.14.11)
Thousand thanks for the hint.
6. # 4
peter ,   a'dam   (04.14.11)
Pakistan has several lawyers who try to defend human rights against honour killings, defamation etc. in their country. I don't get your drift, mate...or is it old fashioned prejudice?
7. What pressure?
Danny   (04.14.11)
Being called liars and frauds? Then don't lie and don't commit fraud.
8. the 'punchbag
tiki ,   belgium   (04.14.11)
One could ""almost...feel sorry for Goldstone. For a 'Judge, he made some pretty dumb 'judgements. Getting slammed by the Jews, his own SA community, military experts, non biased people and ....his old 'comrades in crime. It was to be foreseen and he has it coming .
9. Good investment
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.14.11)
These three prove that the Saudis made a great investment when they funded the Israeli NGOs who invented the "facts" on which the Goldstone report are based.
10. Judge Goldstone's retraction
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (04.14.11)
Those who denounce Judge Goldstone the retraction of portions of his report are justified in so doing. I, and I am sure, they would like to know how Judge Goldstone was coerced or perhaps blackmailed into that retraction.
11. Goldstone report
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (04.14.11)
First let see: Lawyer from Pakistan (most of them Anti-Israel) Lawyer from Ireland (Anti Israel) Lawyer from England (pro-Arab) Lawyer from South Africa (useful idiot). Second: when some prisioners are condemmed and there are new evidences, there is a new trial (translated in here, report should be ammended). Third: the united nations has a root in the League of Nations. There was a transpass of all systems to u.n. The question of Palestine where Jewish were to have a Jewish Home was passed with modifications that generate the problems. Most of Arabs accepted the declararion of Balfour in 1917 and rejected with this insignificant and expensive piece of paper. Fourth: In the Indian-Pakistani conflict, the english did exactly what they did in Israel: they relocate muslims. Fifth: Human rights do not mean attack to Israel, they mean to enhace life in the world. Sixth: by demonizing Israel, the h.r. generates another problem: fundamentlism. The world lived ir from 1933 to 1945. Seventh: Unregulated international agencies, that are embarrased now, are not part of the interantional peace but part of the terrorism
12. Jilani? Islamic investigators on Israel? How objective - NOT
Yaniv ,   Israel   (04.14.11)
13. The UN proudly present;the swill of justice
jo   (04.14.11)
Deviants always stand by their statements, a normal human reaction, so that their peer would still believe in them. Very hard to admit to the world that you knowingly botched a monumental fact finding job; and the hell with the Jews. Those 3 stooges regret that NO domestic investigation AT ALL have been started into any allegations of crimes committed by palis terrorist groups that fired 1000's of rockets into Israel. They represent the best the UN could muster in order to show to the world their only " raison d'etre " --- lies, more lies, and only lies; as long as the cash flow keeps flowing. That they are all despicable and represent the vile segment of society, has no effect on them whatsoever. That's what happen when you reach the bottom totally encased in filth
14. Injustices....
Ari ,   new york, US   (04.14.11)
How about the injustice you have done to the IDF or the thousands of Israelis who live in fear of rocket attacks? How about that injustice? Did you forget about that?
15. #10
jb ,   Canada   (04.14.11)
Well of course graczek, they were blackmailed by the Elders of Zion, or was it those controlling Hollywood Jews, or maybe the ones that control the media...or the government or the the UN or the... the... the... well it was the Jews, that's for sure! ESAD
16. The Truth hurts...
Pat Carmeli ,   Cazenovia NY USA   (04.14.11)
As the rejoicing from Goldstone's retraction subsides, the truth will still rear its ugly face and place the blame for the deaths of hundreds right in Israel's lap.
17. What did you expect?
Jon_Boy ,   London, UK   (04.14.11)
All western democarcies inlcuding Israel have a generation of political actvist judges that interpret law soley on their own political stance and beliefs. Until we admit this then we are constantly going to have problems like these. The same goes for journalists too. Law and journalism are not sciences of truth but are simply politically manipulated by humans to offer fig leaves of truth and science.
18. As expected
Ibrahim el Awal ,   Dearborn, Michigan   (04.14.11)
The whole issue is the conspiracy to defame Israel by the UN using Goldstone childish naivite' to give legitimacy to the report. Hamas did not respond to equal allegation. They were totally mute. Israel did not cooporate with UN first investigation. They should have stayed mute after the report was published as Hamas is doing. Does anybody talk about Hamas atrocities? no. Israel wanted to prove that they are pure. Even if Arabs would have stood in line proving with videos that Hamas used them as human shields Israel would have been blamed. So is the futile struggle to clear Israel name. It will never happen.
19. reputation finished
mohson   (04.14.11)
goldstone's legal reputation is now irreparably damaged. He chose a committee of lawwyer investigators whose past statements demonstrated that they were unfit.yet he chose them anyways and overlooked their problems. Now as good investigator knows, new information comes to light that goldstone didn't apparently know about. So he now questions his own report. of course the other 3 who served under goldstone reject his reappaisal in the washington post since that deviates from their long held animus against israel. for goldstone to have chosen these 3 shows how rotten the Un is. Goldstone is now finished, hated by israel and now hated as a bloody jew by the arabs, who wish he was dead. By the time this is not frontline news, goldstone will wish he was never born. he should not have touched this assignment with a ten fold pole as the human rights committee is rotten to the core, the united nations with its makeup is rotten tot he core and gilani, travers and chinkin are each of them partial, biased second rate lawyers or investigators who only the united nations would hire.
20. #10
(04.14.11)
he was strictly coerced by his good concience, honesty and finally discovering the lies behind this idiotic and lying report. no coersion was necessary here. when a man that is an honest man finally admits his flaws, it is heaven.
21. The UN is only being held together by Jew haters!
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (04.14.11)
they all the lot of them are cursed. Scum. I hope Goldstone is never forgiven. He doesn't deserve forgiveness
22. Makes Goldstone...
Reuven ,   Israel   (04.14.11)
look even worse than before. What a total screw-up. The world has turned completely upside-down.
23. #18 Ibrahim
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (04.14.11)
The story about Arab attcking Jews are very well ignored. Since 1917 Jewish people were massacre by arabs, expelled from their countries. Since we, Jewish people, started defending ourselves, we started getting in trouble. The reason of the existence of Israel is simple: we want to live in theland of our ancestors. The Golstone report is something that intended to say: We have Israel, the Jews enjoyed 62 years of good life, it is time to focus is how to make Israel desapair. At the time of the Goldstone report, the "president of the Human Rights" was Lybia. Cooperating with this Lybia will be different: We could say "we avoid killing civilians" they will write: "the zionist entity was massacring people that was not even born yet". The "human right" club has always an excuse to demonize Israel
24. Measure for Measure
Dov   (04.14.11)
Goldstone judges secular Israel like Secular Israel corrupt judges judge haredi Jews with false accusations. As simple as that. Measure for Measure. There's a G-d in the world after all.
25. he was the dupe. now lets see what he is made of!
ralph   (04.14.11)
26. # 1 - Who is Colonel Richard Kemp ? ,...
split ,   US   (04.14.11)
Before he became paid Israel's hasbara soldier he was nobody,... Kemp spoke to the UN HRC on behalf of UN Watch which is a Geneva-based NGO whose stated mission is "to monitor the performance of the United Nations by the yardstick of its own Charter". It is affiliated with the AJC (American Jewish Committee) His exposure in defence of Israel helped him in promotion his otherwise mediocre book that was collecting dust on bookstore's shelves.
27. Bunch of commies
Jay ,   U.S   (04.14.11)
The marxist-muslim alliance aka Russia,China,Iran and its Hamas,hizballah,Syria,venezuella,cuba and others have been attacking many western influenced countries among them also Israel, and they have taken control of the U.N. nothing that comes out of this alliance of evil should be believed.
28. Goldstone
Rob ,   USA   (04.14.11)
Goldstone's future is is finished . He was a useful fool whose deire to self-aggrandize himself allowed him to be hoodwinked into this travesty. Now being the self-righteous snake that he is, he will attempt to weasle out of this disaster and will continue to speak out of both corners of his mouth. He deserves everything that will befall him, and then some!
29. How can #12 say suggest bias?
slaman ,   Canada   (04.14.11)
Absolutely shocking to see such a blatantly bigoted comment... it's a demonstration of the blind hatred you have that the people in Canada don't understand. A person's religion does not define that person's identity and does not automatically classify it into a group of "one". An individual is an individual... and these people were chosen based on their expertise and credentials - minimizing them to a last name is irresponsible, and simply unintelligent.
30. when one is eager to find the jews guilty, one doesn't need
annie ,   usa   (04.14.11)
either old evidence or new ones. the fact finding group and the people who had sent it had been assuming israel was guilty before they even began looking into the case, so why change their minds. indeed, nothing has changed, and especially their motive to spew "legal" hate at israel.
