I find this completely shocking, and I mean that in a good way. Judge Goldstone, who wrote a UN report that was very critical of Israel in the aftermath of the Gaza action, accusing Israel of war crimes, has now written an op-ed in the Washington Post that at least partially absolves Israel of many of the most serious charges, and takes Hamas to task for its targeting of civilians in Israel. It reads the way I would have liked the Goldstone Report to read in the first place.
He blames Israel's lack of cooperation for his initial conclusions. I don't really buy it. Still, I give the guy credit for coming around in a very public way and correcting the record. Good for him.
