Reply #11: (edited) CAMERA nailed this one. Look at UNITAR's work and Mr. Hamada's testimony

[shira]

Hamada's testimony (he was Goldstone's #1 witness) can be found in the 1st comment under the CAMERA article.

Simply put, Goldstone claims the IAF fired deliberately at the mill to punish Gazans and take away a source of sustenance for them. The fact is, the attack at the mill happened one week later and it was tank fire, not Apache missile strikes. The dead accounted for in that area were confirmed by PCHR to be all militants. Goldstone ignored UNITAR's findings (which he commissioned) and also ignored Mr. Hamada's testimony that is on record (about the tanks). The evidence wasn't juicy enough for Goldstone, evidently.

This episode has been repeatedly used by Goldstone as one of the prime examples of Israel's deliberate policy of harming civilians and their infrastructure.

I remind you that Goldstone's team concluded that Israel's war on Hamas had nothing to do with defense against rockets. Goldstone says that was only an excuse for Israel to attack and punish the people of Gaza.

There is no defending what Goldstone has done with this report.
