Goldstone Recants Report

Where is the Outrage?

Richard Goldstone owned up to the fact that Israel did not purposely target civilian Arabs that call themselves Palestinians in Operation Cast Lead targeting Hamas Islamic terrorists who had been shooting missiles into Israel that indeed targeted Israeli citizens. Hamas began that war under the hubris that shooting missiles at Israeli civilians would result into some kind terrorist concession that would benefit the Palestinian and Hamas goal of obliterating Israel and Jews. I am guessing the terrorist goal had something to do gaining the release of murdering and plotting Islamic terrorists in Israeli prisons.

The Goldstone Report concluded that both Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were responsible for war crimes; however mysteriously the Goldstone Report came down with particular venom against Israel and wrote about Hamas atrocities against civilians as if it was insignificant. I mean Leftists and Muslim dominated nations wanted war crimes trials to occur at the World Court at The Hague. There was no clamor for war crimes against the initiator of the war that Israel embarked upon in self-defense.

Hamas not only shot missiles at Israeli civilians but also used civilian residents of Gaza (aka Palestinians) as human shields and more deplorable civilians that died as a result of Hamas insensitivity were staged (See Also HERE) as if the IDF artillery or aerial weaponry caused their deaths.

In light of Goldstone confessing his report was inaccurate in portraying war crimes committed by Israel, where is the global outrage of proven Hamas atrocities?
