Exclusive: Schabas’ own colleague, human rights icon Aryeh Neier, calls for him to quit UN Gaza prob [View all] shira Oct 2014 OP

Of course, Schabas is not a judge in this instance, so the analogy falls down Scootaloo Oct 2014 #1

Oh please , King_David Oct 2014 #3

You must have a short memory Scootaloo Oct 2014 #4

What rubbish, King_David Oct 2014 #5

Interesting Dave. Nothing you say here is true. Scootaloo Oct 2014 #6

He retracted the main conclusion... shira Oct 2014 #7

This is one hell of a mess of nonsense, to say the least. Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #9

Great rebuttal, not. n/t shira Oct 2014 #13

Oh no, this one of yours is one for the books...no worries. I suspect there will be much more to Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #16

Goldstone did retract his report King_David Oct 2014 #18

I'm well aware of what he recanted, thanks. n/t Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #41

I'm sure you can't wait for those future reports that will absolve Hamas..... shira Oct 2014 #31

I have not read them, not possible since they're not completed nor published. Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #43

Schabas recently said he didn't know whether he'd be investigating Hamas war crimes.... shira Oct 2014 #46

No, I don't. He said: Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #53

He could have said "Yes, we are definitely investigating Hamas... shira Oct 2014 #65

Must be because he hates Israel. n/t Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #66

How difficult would it be for you.... shira Oct 2014 #67

The irony of this post...you have no idea, do you? n/t Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #68

Another deflection. n/t shira Oct 2014 #70

There was no "main conclusion," Shira Scootaloo Oct 2014 #10

Sure there was. Deny it all you wish. And your personal attacks are stale. shira Oct 2014 #12

Damn right I'll deny it, 'cause I'm aware of the reality Scootaloo Oct 2014 #14

That's right, Goldstone said "...the CONCLUSION would have been different". shira Oct 2014 #19

He's speaking of one particular conclusion, Shira Scootaloo Oct 2014 #22

Does it make you proud as a human rights advocate..... shira Oct 2014 #25

The team was charged with investigating possible war crimes in Gaza. Scootaloo Oct 2014 #29

Aww, playing coy? Goldstone had to practically beg the UN.... shira Oct 2014 #35

Could you source such claims about Goldstone? Scootaloo Oct 2014 #56

Here's wiki... shira Oct 2014 #74

Thanks Scootaloo Oct 2014 #78

That quote doesn't appear in his WaPo article. Did he say that somewhere else? DanTex Oct 2014 #37

Yes, Israel's McCarthy-style smear campaign was successful in that instance. DanTex Oct 2014 #34

LOL. shira Oct 2014 #36

Goldstone was subjected to a campaign of personal destruction. DanTex Oct 2014 #38

A commission tasked w/investigating only Israel and not Hamas..... shira Oct 2014 #39

Again, nobody serious thinks human rights groups are covering for Hamas. DanTex Oct 2014 #42

Uh huh. That's why the UNHRC originally decided not to investigate Hamas.... shira Oct 2014 #44

The Goldstone commission investigated both, agreed? DanTex Oct 2014 #48

Schabas recently said he didn't know whether he'd be investigating Hamas war crimes.... shira Oct 2014 #50

So you're saying that for PR reasons, he should investigate Hamas also. DanTex Oct 2014 #61

Not for PR, but ethics requires it.... shira Oct 2014 #69

The actual truth about Goldstones so called 'retraction' azurnoir Oct 2014 #92

Again with you it's all about Jews ... King_David Oct 2014 #8

More accurately, it's about the targeting of Jews by people like you, Dave Scootaloo Oct 2014 #11

No idea who Kenneth or Meshoe or Australian is, King_David Oct 2014 #15

See what I mean? Scootaloo Oct 2014 #17

Well that headline is a doozy, isn't it? Let's see how DU'ers take to it.... shira Oct 2014 #40

Do you ever even read or participate in GD? DanTex Oct 2014 #45

Find me a busy thread here on the US relaxing its standards on civilians in Iraq/Syria. n/t shira Oct 2014 #47

Is that really a big story? Who is reporting it? DanTex Oct 2014 #49

You don't think that's a big story? Why should I post it? shira Oct 2014 #51

If it were Israel, it might be posted in I/P. Or maybe it wouldn't. Who knows. DanTex Oct 2014 #52

Yeah, it's a big story. Goldstone/Schabas would be all over it.... shira Oct 2014 #55

You're free to speculate, but I doubt it. DanTex Oct 2014 #63

A drop in US stadnards will bring them down to where Israel sits, currently Scootaloo Oct 2014 #76

Your ratios are wrong. Israel is once again around 1:1 but... shira Oct 2014 #77

Out of curiosity, do you trust everything the Pentagon says? Scootaloo Oct 2014 #79

No. n/t shira Oct 2014 #80

I didn't think you would Scootaloo Oct 2014 #81

The 1:1 ratio was confirmed by none other than Hamas... shira Oct 2014 #85

Sorry to point out the blatant hypocrisy & double-standards shira Oct 2014 #59

You might have a point if Israeli officials ever paid a price for their human rights abuses... Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #62

I do have a point. When have US officials ever paid a price....? n/t shira Oct 2014 #72

That's not a point, the US covers for Israel...always. To you, this is kosher. n/t Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #73

Hypocrisy is the point. Crickets when it's not Israel... shira Oct 2014 #75

That state means a lot to me and my fellow Jews shira Oct 2014 #86

You don't speak for all Jews, try and remember that. Your intentions are obvious through Jefferson23 Oct 2014 #87

You're right, I don't. But Israel does mean a lot to most Jews.... shira Oct 2014 #88
