• Israeli spin on Goldstone op-ed doesn’t hold up
  • engelo April 3, 2011 at 10:02 pm with 1 replies

    It is a mistake on the part of the author of this post (Alex Kane), to state that the "Goldstone’s Op-Ed in the Post recants [the] claim that Israeli armed forces had carried out direct intentional strikes against civilians”

    But in fact, Goldstone's Op-Ed recants nothing of the kind, it merely states that the Israeli military has reached opposite conclusions: "the investigations published by the Israeli military [...] indicate that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy".

    The question remaining is to compare the reliability and validity of the investigations of Israeli military against those of the Goldstone report.

• Interview with Israeli BDS activist Tali Shapiro: The fear of international isolation is shifting the discourse in Israel

    The same argument could be turned back at Gideon Levy - if his articles would make Israelis react defensively, would that mean that he should stop writing them? On the contrary, triggering a reaction and maintaining it over time is a difficult - almost impossible task, it requires determination and skill. The late prof Yeshayahu Leibowitz has complained frequently, that neither his words nor his deeds ever had the impact for which he hoped for (see link to bit.ly
    (Hebrew) and link to bit.ly
    (w/ translation)). Gideon Levy also acknowledges that his work has had very little impact on the discourse in Israel. In contrast, the BDS movement has put occupation back where it belongs - in the center of a vital debate.
