Goldstone defends himself

Richard Goldstone writes in the Guardian to defend his report into alleged atrocities by both sides in the Gaza conflict.  He says that it would have been hypocritical of him to speak out about violations of international law and impunity for war crimes around the world and then not to criticise Israel for its attacks on Gaza, just because he is Jewish.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
