Da den israelske regering ikke kan ramme fakta i den rapport om Gaza-krigen, som den sydafrikanske dommer Richard Goldstone stod for, så må Israel i stedet gå efter manden.
Sasha Polakow-Suransky skriver i Foreign Policy om, hvordan Goldstone forsøges tilsværtet på baggrund af hans rolle i Sydafrikas apartheidregime, og hvordan det israelske udenrigsministerium behændigt glemmer, at Israel var et af det hvide Sydafrikas bedste venner:
"The Israeli government has it in for Richard Goldstone. Ever since Goldstone, a Jewish South African judge, issued a report in September charging Israel (and Hamas) with war crimes during the January 2009 invasion of Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attacked him -- and his report -- as a grave threat to Israels legitimacy.
On Thursday, leading Israeli government officials escalated their campaign against Goldstone, accusing him of sending 28 black South Africans to their deaths while serving as a judge during the apartheid years."
