Judge Goldstone Responds to CAMERA’s Letter

By Published On: December 7, 2009

Justice Goldstone has consistently tried to defend his eponymous report from criticism by claiming that “no one has been able to show any error of substance in the report nor any of its findings” (see, for example, South Africa’s Sunday Times, Nov. 15). But when faced directly with specific discrepancies, contradictions and misstatements that undermined the report’s conclusions, how did he respond?

In answer to a follow-up call by CAMERA on Dec. 7th about whether he had received our letter, Justice Goldstone responded:

Dear Ms. Hollander,
I confirm receipt of your letter. I have no intention of responding to your open letter.
Sincerely,
Richard Goldstone

In the same type of double standard that typifies the report, Justice Goldstone refuses himself to answer questions or provide clarification about the substance of his mission’s findings, yet slams Israel for having refused to cooperate with or answer the questions of his investigating team.

The real question now is how long can Justice Goldstone continue to hide behind the deceptive argument that no one has addressed the substance or findings of the report?
