56. You're misinformed
1. Hamas was never held accountable - and deliberately so - by Goldstone for using Palestinian civilians as human shields. They get a free pass to continue to put Palestinian innocents in danger the very next time they decide to go to war, and they know well that they can get away with it b/c Goldstone approves.

'Hamas used kids as human shields'

Goldstone the apartheid-judge is a real hero, right? :eyes:

2. The Report makes it illegal for Israel to defend itself. If Hamas fires rockets from an apartment building and Israel fires back killing 5 Hamas and 2 civilians, Goldstone considers that a war crime. The impression is that Israel is to allow rockets to be fired without being able to defend and fire back. Of course, Hamas gets no blame for embedding themselves illegally within civilian populations, a warcrime in itself.

3. There's nothing stopping Goldstone from reporting against Hamas. Wouldn't that be the right thing to do, in the interest of peace and human rights?
