Goldstone interview

[Oliver]

Until recently, when Goldstone was interviewed by Moyers, I had no idea what his personal view of the conflict between Israel/Hamas and the report about the Gaza war crimes was. So here he's explaining his views in his own words:

May I, given the fact that Goldstone in that interview says he's Jewish and a Zionist himself, ask why he supposedly "lied" about Israel concerning the Cast Lead issue? That doesn't make much sense whatsoever.

The Goldstone Report is being largely suppressed by the big media here in the US. Same for Stewart Nozette.

You hardly see any mention on the major news networks.

It's true. Even if PBS did a great interview and one would expect that FOX would interview him as well given their pro-Israeli agenda. But given your own history at JREF, may I ask you why you would trust a Zionist in case of Goldstone? I mean, I wouldn't expect you to trust him and his report, to be honest.

About the interview and thus: his personal views specifically? I surely must have missed those.

MagZ: Why do you agree with the "Goldstone-Zionist report" in case of an opposition to Israels policies while you usually oppose Zionists by default?

May I ask why you think that a self-professed member of a group would be incapable of "lying" about that group?

Since there is not much news here on the report I don't know exactly what it says. The spin here is war crimes were committed on both sides.

To answer you question: "Why did Judge Kaufmann give the Rosenbergs the death sentence? "
