Goldstone admits his own report is wrong

[MaxQue]

Well, what do you expect from an Israeli?
He will spin any facts in a way to support Israeli propaganda.

Israel committed war crimes, they used fragmentation bombs in Lebanon, if I remember well.
Simple.

I'm not antisemitic.

I'm really not a fan of the country of Israel, true.
But I have nothing against Jews (well, I have something against orthodox Jews, but that is more a problem with fundamentalism than Jewish religion. I just don't think than homeschooling kids with 5 days a week for religious study, 1 day for praying and only one day for maths/science/languages is acceptable. I also dislike much Christian and Muslim fundamentalists, for the record).

Sure, Israel is clearly superior to most countries in that area, but some decisions of the government are just disgusting me.

I'm disgusted by a government, not a people.
Not everybody in Israel is Jew, neither all Jews are living in Israel.

So, if I criticize Israel, it doesn't mean than I'm antisemitic.
Like if I criticize Sweden, it doesn't mean than I'm anti-protestant.

But, sure, I know than this is an usual way to silence people who criticize Israel, by saying than they are antisemitic.
Like people opposing Afghanistan War were called pro-taliban.

Well, how the Israeli government came into power?

Oh, Israeli people elected it!
So, I suppose than at least the half of the population supports the policies it is implanting, no?

Yes, sure than most Israelis are Jews, but it is totally irrelevent here.

I'll admit than I'm perhaps anti-Israel, but not for religious reasons (well, letting fundamentalists enter the government is part of the reasons I dislike them).

I mean, invading your neighbour isn't something that is acceptable. We all know than this won't stop Muslim fundamentalism. Worse, it can ignite it.

I can't accept than a country attacks civilian populations in another country.
And, honestly, check the news in the last year. Israeli government, elected by Israeli people is less and less open to peace. It even decided to lift the "colonisation" ban.

Government shows no desire to seek peace by compromise. Sure, the other side is worse, by using fundamendalism and systematic attacks on civilians. I don't think anybody is contesting that.

But I don't see why I should approve a side because the other one is worse.

I'm idealistic, I know.
