The Goldstone Reversal
Richard Goldstone’s retraction of his conclusion that Israel intentionally targeted Palestinian civilians during the 2008-09 war in Gaza is either not warranted by the evidence on which he says that he now relies, or it is premature. The available evidence is clearly too paltry to warrant such a shift.

NEW YORK – Justice Richard Goldstone was condemned by many apologists for Israel’s human-rights record for his conclusion that Israel intentionally targeted Palestinian civilians as a matter of policy during the 2008-9 Gaza war. Goldstone’s United Nations-backed report accused both Israelis and Palestinians of war crimes, and called on both sides to investigate, prosecute, and punish their own personnel.
