Gaza and the moral collapse of Goldstone
Ramzy Baroud Cast Lead, an unprecedented onslaught against the small, impoverished and besieged Gaza. The result was the death of more than 1,400 Palestinians and over 5,500 injured.
Goldstone is both Jewish and Zionist. His love for Israel has been widely and warmly expressed. In this particular case, looked completely torn between its ideological and tribal and commitment to justice and truth as establishes the mandate of the Human Rights Council United Nations. | After 18 months of what seemed like total personal introspection accompanied a campaign of endless pressure and intimidation by groups of pro-Zionist Jews and Israelis around the world, man has finally surrendered. |
Goldstone would have been a different document," he wrote in The Washington Post April 1. But what Goldstone has learned since her 575-page report in September 2009?
The alleged basis of reassessment of Goldstone is a monitoring report issued by a committee UN New York chaired by Judge withdrawal, Mary McGowan Davis. His report was not a new investigation into alleged war crimes in Gaza and Israel-Hamas-track but the findings of the Goldstone Commission , calling for the referral to
International Criminal Court. McGowan Davis clarified this distinction in a recent interview with the Israeli Jerusalem Post
. According to the newspaper, said: "Our work was completely independent of his (Goldstone)." And even declared: "Our mandate was to take his report as a proposal and go de él”.
International Criminal Court. McGowan Davis clarified this distinction in a recent interview with the Israeli Jerusalem Post
.
El informe McGowan Davis simplemente reconocía que Israel ha llevado a cabo una investigación sobre una posible “mala conducta operativa” en lo que es ampliamente conocido fuera de Israel como la masacre de Gaza. El informe de seguimiento de la ONU reconoció las supuestas 400 investigaciones, pero no confirmó su validez. Tales investigaciones secretas en realidad condujeron a poco en términos de acción discipline. addition, the team of UN experts said there was "no evidence that Israel has opened investigations into the actions of those who designed, planned, ordered and supervised the
Cast Lead." In fact, Israel is known for his research on himself and also to find blame everywhere except in their own direction. Israeli research is an obvious mockery of justice. Most of their results, like those that followed in other research on the Israeli war against Lebanon in 2006, only punished the fact of not winning the war and had not been able to explain the actions of Israel to the world. Little said about the causes of death and injury of innocent civilians. Is this what you meant when Goldstone used the words "if I had known then what I know now?" And how could this added knowledge about secret investigations, and largely nonsensical "of Israel be sufficient to draw conclusions as extreme as that" there was a policy of deliberately attacking civilians? This was the confidence of the arguments of Israel, which tried to reduce a persistent policy based on punishment collective-use issue and found illegal weapons against civilians, to the imprudence of individual soldiers. Goldstone shrinkage is calculated adopting "the Israeli position that any wrongdoing during the assault on Gaza was caused by deviant individuals, not policies or rules of engagement arranged by the military leadership," said George Bisharat, a professor at the School
Hastings Law (quoted by the San Francisco Chronicle , April 7). Bisharat added: "However, the original report never accused Israel of widespread deliberate attacks against civilians, so that Goldstone retracted a claim that has never been done. Most of its main conclusions remain unchallenged. " John Dugard, a law professor at
of Pretoria University and former Special Rapporteur on Human Rights UN in the Occupied Palestinian Territory agrees. "Richard Goldstone is a former judge and knows very well that a research report prepared by four people, of which he was just a, like a sentence of a court of law, can not be changed by a subsequent reflections single member of the committee. "
Dugard, known for its principled positions in the past, is also known for moral consistency. "It's sad that this champion of accountability and international criminal justice should be abandoned because of an opinion so thoughtless but yet so very damaging," he wrote in the New Statesman
on 6 April. As expected, Israeli leaders are reveling. "Everything we said has proven to be true," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in response to the moral collapse of Goldstone. The New York Times
Dugard, known for its principled positions in the past, is also known for moral consistency. "It's sad that this champion of accountability and international criminal justice should be abandoned because of an opinion so thoughtless but yet so very damaging," he wrote in the New Statesman
reported April 5 that Goldstone has agreed to visit Israel in July on a call directly with Israel's Interior Minister Eli Yishai. "I'll be glad to go." Yishai Goldstone quoted saying: "I've always felt love for the State of Israel."
The point is that Goldstone retraction of some of the findings of the commission clearly has no legal validity. It is motivated by personal and, in fact, selfishness, and shows that political and ideological affiliations are more weight to Goldstone that human suffering and international law and justice. No doubt, however, that a review of Goldstone represent the backbone of Israel's justification in their future attacks against Gaza. Goldstone, who was regarded as a "devil, a man of evil" as a leading apologist for Israel in America, will become the argument to sell the future war crimes of Israel.
If the death of more than 1,400 Palestinians is not a "political issue" and the killing of four Israelis by Hamas is "intentional" as Goldstone says, then the sky is the limit for Israel's war machine.
The truth is that "shocking" is not the correct term. "Shameful" may be more appropriate.
