can not be unseen... what has been heard, can not be unheard.

Goldstone yielded to pressure Hoping not to look as a SELF hating jew he retract his report now he is between the rock and the hard place

First off, Islam is not a religion, but rather a totalitarian political doctrine intertwined with a religion, economic, social system, so there goes your whole argument out the window. Secondly, speaking out as if your were the ambassador of Canada and putting the Canadian people higher up than Israeli people as to having superior values is not only biased but disgustingly self-righteous, not to mention a notion similar to racism. You are either evil or stupid (useful idiot). Morally superior I think not.

i agree with your comment, but im judging by it that you are new to the ynet talkback section.

The damage he has done cannot be recovered for two reasons First because admitting mistakes accusing Israel of war crimes can be cause of tumults. Second Israel is the only one country in the world with no right to defends his citizens .

3 people with no pressure being put on them from their own "group" to stop the report. goldstone is a coward and additionally, is an idiot for making the comments he did. he never retracted the reports findings, though thats what the eager israeli media did its best to spin it as and he should have known better.

well said! Nothing could be truer. The world is now very much aware that the UN is a load of bull....!

Yep, I feel somewhat sorry for the guy now. His life, at least what's left of it is fucked up and he only has himself to blame. Apart from turning against his own kinfolk, he doesn't have much choice re his future. He didn't stop to think did he? Only the Lord knows how he's going to get his neck out of this sling!

But no matter, he was head of British forces fighting terrorism and terrorists in several countries, where have you fought? So we do know he is far more experienced in fighting terrorism than you Wes. Clearly he was respected enough on an International level to speak as an expert witness at the UN. Just as your a professional apologist for terrorists, but certainly not an expert. put simply, your an antisemitic person who hates the Jewish people and Israel. Your only goal is to malign Israel and Jewish people. Even your attack on Col. Kemp is laughable, you don't dispute the facts...because you can't...so you attack him on personal level. If he is bias, prove it, show us where and give a source! Otherwise you have nothing to say, do you Wes.

these are the same co-authors who were quoted supporting Israel's guilt long before the investigation even began. I bet they were also the same who pressured Goldstone to not include Hamas in the war crimes investigation.

when they disagree with you. Poor Goldstone, he suffered the same "coercion" as the investigative team from BBC's Panorama and Col. Kemp from NATO. How is the air in that tight little bubble of your's?

I guess they didn't want to let down their paymasters.

Once asked if he ever been to Gaza he said "NO". that means that if he didn't spew hasbara crap delivered to him by your PR spin masters he based his assessment on publicly available information from media reports ,... Unable to deal with the threat of suicide bombers in Afghanistan, he claim that he received help from an IDF's anti-suicide bombing expert. He also claimed to have received help from the Mossad following the 2005 London bombings, and is well-acquainted with Israeli intelligence from past cooperation ,... Your pathetic attempts to pin on me some name or nick says a lot about the content of your "attic" not to mention that constant abuse the term "anti - semite" devaluate it's real weight and meaning brings a smirk on some people's faces and some take it as a complement ,... The censor keeps saving your a*s time and time again ,...

test of truthfulness? Whether Col. Kemp "was in Gaza" as you put it. None of the Members of the UN Human Rights Council was in GAZA at the time of the War. So let's throw out the report if that's the standard. People can look at the same information and come to different conclusions, plus Col. Kemp was only one with experience fighting terrorists. What do you think the Goldstone report is based on? To Quote you: "on publicly available information from media reports..." Again NOT ONE member of the HRC was in Gaza during the war. Where do you think that "public" information came from, the report itself. The report is based on in many cases of uncorroborated testimony of Arabs, that's it. So why would the Col. Kemps testimony be bias, yet Christine Chinkin, who is on the record declaring Israel guilty before the hearings started, not be bias. You see, split your selective in what you point out. You take the same behavior or issues,that may exist on both sides, but you just cherry pick the pro-Israel side while ignoring precisely the same issues you complain of with the pro-Arab side. So you whine about Col. Kemps alleged bias, yet ignore Christine Chinkin anti-Israel bias. It doesn't work that way. BTW your real name was from some other poster, I found it an interesting story he told. You read it, was he lying?
