The Magnus Zionist is spot on here
It is the unfortunate fate of Judge Richard Goldstone to be condemned and praised for what he doesn’t write. The responses to his op-ed in Washington Post from the Israel advocates are laughable. Even a superficial reading of the op-ed shows that he has not retracted a single comma in the Goldstone Report, nor does he express any regret for having written the report the way it was written. He simply says that had he known then what he knows now, the report would have been different.
In fact, he has been saying for over a year that had Israel cooperated with the Mission instead of boycotting it, the report would have looked different.
So, basically, instead of being arrogant and smug, perhaps Israel can do itself a few favours by starting to act as if it is not above the law or beyond investigation.
