Washington - South African jurist Richard Goldstone said Tuesday that he did not plan to seek nullification of his highly critical U.N. report on Israel's 2008-2009 offensive in the Gaza Strip and asserted that claims to the contrary by Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yishai were false.

I get it. Yes the report totally misrepresents the facts on the ground and draws conclusions that are unsupportable.

Yeee gads, the propaganda lies get thicker and thicker. so sick of it. This Goldstone putz COULD have done more but he only wanted to go back to Israel for awhile, then wait, I have a feeling he’ll write more reports in the future worse than the one previously reported that everyone currently takes as fact except most all of the rest of us who don’t...heh, putz!
