The Goldstone Report Forgery

A text written in 2009

This article focuses on aspects in the Goldstone Report¹of hardcore forgery / manipulation / ignoring of the mission´s own evidence and witness testimonies. It is not a final investigation – even of the two examined cases (The mosque case and the flour mill case). See Chapter »Further Observations« for a cursory list of additional observations regarding these two cases.

At least one case (The mosque case) made in the Goldstone report shows that judge Richard Goldstone, the head of the Fact Finding Mission in Gaza, is completely incompetent as a member of a mission which purpose it is to find facts that could lead to war crimes prosecutions, because he either does not deem it necessary or is not able to distinguish between a airborne missile strike on a mosque in the Gaza strip which obviously could only be carried out by the IDF, a ground-based strike with an anti-tank-missile which could as well have been carried out by the Hamas for propaganda purposes and the detonation of a mortar shell, flying through a mosque entrance door and exploding inside the mosque. Or he is blatantly lying either about a mortar shell explosion that in fact according to evidence gathered in the Gaza field missions was a air-to-ground anti-tank missile impact, or – which is more plausible – he along with the other mission members is lying about a deliberate air-to-ground anti-tank missile strike by the IDF on the entrance of a crowded mosque.

In at least one case (The flour mill case) in the Goldstone report the mission members have willfully ignored / manipulated a testimony of presumably their main witness from the public hearings along with making outlandish assumptions about military necessities in Israeli ground operations to build the case of an evil Israeli air strike on a flour mill in the Gaza strip allegedly with the only purpose of disabling food production facilities in the Gaza strip unrelated to any military objectives.
