An analysis of the flaws of the Goldstone report, after HAMAS admission to have lost 600-700 members in the Cast Lead operation.
It appears that the 'Palestinian' NGO figures, accepted at face value by Goldstone despite Israel contradictory estimates, were false. The "80% civilians" killed were in fact less than 30%, which proves the care that Tsahal took in avoiding civilian casualties. NATO forces in Afghanistan don't do better despite fighting in a much less crowded area.
The Goldstone report must be corrected to take the new HAMAS version (probably underestimating its losses) into account, rather than continuing to support fairy tales.
