Mijn advies voor iedereen is zowel het opiniestuk van Richard Goldstone te lezen, als het McGowan Davis-rapport dat Goldstone in zijn stuk noemt. Hier zijn mijn conclusies:
HP / De Tijd, HET PAROOL en Likoed citeren Goldstone en beweren dat Goldstone zegt dat er geen oorlogsmisdaden door Israël zijn gepleegd, omdat Goldstone zou zeggen dat Israël burgers niet opzettelijk heeft beschoten. Dit is onjuist.
Ten eerste:
Goldstone zegt nergens dat Israël geen oorlogsmisdaden heeft gepleegd. Want zelfs als Israël geen burgers met opzet zou hebben beschoten, het volgt daaruit niet dat Israël geen oorlogsmisdaden zou hebben gepleegd. Immers er zijn veel meer soorten oorlogmisdaden behalve het bewust beschieten van burgers. Voor een mogelijk aantal zie mijn blog.
Ten tweede:
Goldstone zegt nergens dat Israël geen burgers met opzet heeft beschoten. Hij zegt slechts dat de onderzoeken van het Israëlische leger suggereren dat er geen beleid was om burgers te beschieten: “the investigations published by the Israeli military… indicate that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy.”
Sterker nog, het is onduidelijk hoe Goldstone zou weten dat er geen beleid was om burgers te beschieten, want de onderzoekers van het Israëlische leger hebben de leidingevenden niet ondervraagd. En de commissie McGowan Davis kreeg van Israël geen toestemming om deze te ondervragen, noch onderzoek binnen Israël en de bezette gebieden te doen.
Daarna:
Wat Goldstone over het rapport McGowan Davis zegt, is in strijd met wat in het rapport staat.
Een voorbeeld over de familie al-Simouni. Goldstone schrijft:
For example, the most serious attack the Goldstone Report focused on was the killing of some 29 members of the al-Simouni family in their home. The shelling of the home was apparently the consequence of an Israeli commander’s erroneous interpretation of a drone image, and an Israeli officer is under investigation for having ordered the attack. While the length of this investigation is frustrating, it appears that an appropriate process is underway, and I am confident that if the officer is found to have been negligent, Israel will respond accordingly. The purpose of these investigations, as I have always said, is to ensure accountability for improper actions, not to second-guess, with the benefit of hindsight, commanders making difficult battlefield decisions.
En in het rapport staat absoluut iets anders:
The Committee does not have sufficient information to establish the current status of the on-going criminal investigations into the killings of Ateya and Ahmad Samouni, the attack on the Wa’el al-Samouni house and the shooting of Iyad Samouni. This is of considerable concern: reportedly 24 civilians were killed and 19 were injured in the related incidents on 4 and 5 January 2009. Furthermore, the events may relate both to the actions and decisions of soldiers on the ground and of senior officers located in a war room, as well as to broader issues implicating the rules of engagement and the use of drones. There are also reports indicating that the MAG’s decision to investigate was opposed by the then Head of the IDF Southern Command. Media reports further inform that a senior officer, who was questioned “under caution” and had his promotion put on hold, told investigators that he was not warned that civilians were at the location. However, some of those civilians had been ordered there by IDF soldiers from that same officer’s’ unit and air force officers reportedly informed him of the possible presence of civilians. Despite allegedly being made aware of this information, the officer apparently approved air strikes that killed 21 people and injured 19 gathered in the al-Samouni house. Media sources also report that the incident has been described as a legitimate interpretation of drone photographs portrayed on a screen and that the special command investigation, initiated ten months after the incidents, did not conclude that there had been anything out of the ordinary in the strike. As of 24 October 2010, according to media reports, no decision had been made as to whether or not the officer would stand trial. The same officer who assertedly called in the strike reportedly insisted that ambulances not enter the sector under his control, fearing attempts to kidnap soldiers.
Lees zijn opiniestuk en het rapport en vergelijk. Voor de luie mensen, hier zijn de conclusies uit het rapport:
Although the Committee was able to access official information detailing the progress of some investigations by the Israeli authorities since September 2010, it relied largely on media reports and other secondary sources to inform its deliberations. The Israeli authorities’ refusal to allow the Committee access to Israel and the West Bank, and access to Gaza through Israel, significantly constrained the Committee’s ability to engage with key interlocutors.
That said, the Committee finds that Israel has dedicated significant resources to investigate over 400 allegations of operational misconduct in Gaza reported by the FFM and others. Given the scale of this undertaking, it is unsurprising that in 2011, much remains to be accomplished. The Committee is able to report that, to the best of its knowledge, nineteen investigations into the serious violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law reported by the FFM have been completed by the Israeli authorities with findings that no violations were committed. Two inquiries were discontinued for different reasons. Three investigations led to disciplinary action. Six investigations reportedly remain open, including one in which criminal charges have been brought against an Israeli soldier. The status of possible investigations into six additional incidents remains unclear.
Furthermore, Israel has launched fourteen investigations into incidents related to alleged violations in the West Bank. Of those, two criminal indictments have been filed, six investigations are ongoing and six cases were closed without charges. The Committee did not receive any information concerning any other investigation of alleged violations committed in the West Bank, nor to investigations related to persons detained in Israel.
The Committee reiterates the conclusion of its previous report that there is no indication that Israel has opened investigations into the actions of those who designed, planned, ordered and oversaw Operation Cast Lead.
However, the Committee notes the work of the Turkel Commission and its probing of some decisions and policies adopted by high-level officials in Israel. The Commission was able to interview and actively question high-level officials, including the Prime Minister, the Defense Minister, the Chief of General Staff, and the Chief Military Advocate, and examined questions related to the legality and the enforcement of the blockade on Gaza, as well as the question of whether the impact of the land crossings policy constitutes collective punishment. The Committee concludes that a public commission constitutes one of the mechanisms that Israel could use to assess high-level operational and legal decisions concerning the execution of the military operation in Gaza.
Concerns related to transparency and the participation of victims and witnesses in investigations reported by the Committee in its previous report continue to be relevant. NGOs, victims and their legal representatives have difficulty accessing information about progress in investigations. They report that the majority of their requests for information go unanswered. The Committee is of the view that transparency and participation help build the confidence of victims and other interested parties in the investigation process, including fostering a sense that credible and genuine investigations are taking place.
The Committee has strong reservations respecting the promptness of some investigations of individual incidents referred to by the FFM. More than one-third of the 36 incidents in Gaza are still unresolved or unclear. The status of investigations into incidents in Israel and the West Bank is also unclear. Presumably this serious issue respecting the ability of the military justice system promptly to investigate allegations of wrongdoing during military operations is under careful review by the Turkel Commission.
Finally, the Committee is concerned about the fact that the duration of the ongoing investigations into the allegations contained in the FFM report — over two years since the end of the Gaza operation – could seriously impair their effectiveness and, therefore, the prospects of ultimately achieving accountability and justice.

Richard Goldstone did not Retract the Report
William A. Schabas
It is being widely reported that Richard Goldstone has retracted the allegations in the report of the Commission he chaired into Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli attack on Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009.
I have read Richard Goldstone’s statement in the Washington Post. While the tone is certainly more indulgent towards Israel, I do not see it as a retraction of the primary allegations in the report.
The central element in Judge Goldstone’s statement in the Washington Post last Friday is his conclusion, based upon information he says was not available when the Commission issued its Report, that ‘civilians were not intentionally targeted [by Israel] as a matter of policy’.
The discussion of intentional targeting of civilians was only one component of the Report and, in my view, it was never at the core of the Commission’s conclusions. It is discussed in paragraphs 704-885 of the 1,979 paragraph report. It consists of one heading among thirteen dealing with violations of international law perpetrated by Israel. Israel is now calling upon the Human Rights Council to retract the Report. Even if it were to retract paragraphs 704-885 of the Report, this would change nothing about the fundamental conclusions of the Commission.
In the Report, the Commission examined eleven incidents of alleged intentional targeting of civilians. I have reread the Commission’s Report in light of Judge Goldstone’s statement. I do not believe that the Commission ever alleged that there was an Israeli policy of intentionally targeting civilians. The furthest it goes, I think, is to talk of a ‘low threshold for the use of lethal fire against the civilian population’ (para. 44), which is not the same thing as intentionally targeting civilians. Judge Goldstone could not retract a conclusion that the Commission did not make.
We are talking here of targeting in terms of firing upon civilians in order to kill them. Elsewhere in the Report, the Commission speaks of various other measures that were aimed at civilians, but I do not read Judge Goldstone’s statement last Friday as being a reference to this part of the Report.
There are a couple of ambiguous passages in the Report that might be taken as a charge that Israel intentionally targeted civilians for killing. Thus, at para. 1215, it says that ‘disproportionate destruction and violence against civilians were part of a deliberate policy’. Similarly, at para. 1887, it refers to ‘a deliberate policy of disproportionate force aimed not at the enemy but at the “supporting infrastructure.” In practice, this appears to have meant the civilian population.’
But these statements have to be read in the context of the entire report. It is a condemnation of the attacks upon the civilian infrastructure and the objective of Cast Lead, which was to punish the civilian population. For example, para. 1884: ‘In this respect, the operations were in furtherance of an overall policy aimed at punishing the Gaza population for its resilience and for its apparent support for Hamas, and possibly with the intent of forcing a change in such support.’ Judge Goldstone did not in any way retract this part of the Report.
At various points, the Report speaks of Israeli policy and its impact upon civilians. Thus, at para.1027, it notes the ‘overall policy of disproportionate destruction of a significant part of Gaza’s infrastructure’. Also, at para. 1891: ‘1891. the destruction of food supply installations, water sanitation systems, concrete factories and residential houses was the result of a deliberate and systematic policy by the Israeli armed forces. It was not carried out because those objects presented a military threat or opportunity, but to make the daily process of living, and dignified living, more difficult for the civilian population.’
None of these conclusions of the Report are at all affected by Judge Goldstone’s statement in the Washington Post.
The analysis of the Goldstone Report referred to the so-called ‘Dahiya Doctrine’ that was developed in Lebanon in 2006. It consists of brutal counter-attack that in effect punishes civilians. In this respect, the Report cited Israeli foreign minister Tsipi Livni, at para. 1206, who said: ‘Israel is not a country upon which you fire missiles and it does not respond. It is a country that when you fire on its citizens it responds by going wild – and this is a good thing.’ Also, Deputy chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Dan Harel, who said (para. 1212):
In his statement last Friday, Richard Goldstone also noted the final report of the follow-up commission chaired by Judge McGowan David, which found that Israel had devoted significant resources to investigate allegations of misconduct, whereas Hamas had done nothing. He said he shares the concerns of the McGowan Davis report that few of Israel’s inquiries have been concluded.
Richard Goldstone’s statement is being greeted with glee in Israel and dismay in Palestine. The extent of what he said should not be misunderstood. He did not repudiate the substance of the Report nor did he cast doubt on most of its conclusions, which are very damning.
It has always been my view that the reaction to Cast Lead was distorted by a focus on violations of international humanitarian law. Both Israel and Hamas write their own rules in this respect, and both sides are in the wrong. That obvious fact emerges from the Goldstone Report. But the real issue, and the real reason why there was such outrage about Cast Lead, is that after more than sixty years the Palestinian people are still being denied their right to self-determination. The conflict in Gaza brings with it terrible human suffering but it is a sideshow to the main act. The violations of humanitarian law are unacceptable, but they should not distract the focus from Palestinian self-determiantion.
My earnest hope is that the current turmoil in the Middle East will be a catalyst. The autocratic regimes in the Arab countries are an anachronistic blot on the world. Their days are clearly numbered. That will leave only one anachronistic blot on the region left to be resolved.
De meest vergaande beschuldiging die destijds de wereld over ging was dat het merendeel van de slachtoffers burgers waren en dat Israel die welbewust had gedood. Dat was dus onzin, zoals Israel vanaf het begin heeft gezegd.
@Likoed
Wie heeft die beschuldigingen gedaan? Trouwens, volgens B’Tselem waren er twee keer zoveel burgers gedood dan strijders. En elke dode is een te veel, want Israel bezet het land van anderen. Extra mensen doden is zoals ik in jou huis zou inbreken en nog een paar mensen zou vermoorden.
Wat een verspilde moeite, Leukoed ergens van proberen te overtuigen.
Israel vermoordt dagelijks Palestijnen, lang niet altijd halen die moorden het westerse nieuws.
Press.tv brengt dat natuurlijk groot, dat doen ze ook met aanslagen en repressailles in Afghanistan en Pakistan.
Deze zender bericht ook dagelijks over het vermoorden van opstandelingen, ze hebben de euvele moed democratie te willen, in Bahrein.
Saudie Arabische troepen helpen daarbij, dè angst van de zelfbenoemde internationale gemeenschap is dat ook dat land democratie wil.
Het Pentagon is nu al van mening dat de Libische oorlog er één te veel is, de VS heeft een twee oorlogen strategie.

Iedereen met een beetje belangstelling weet dat Bush jr PNAC 1993 van AEI in uitvoering nam met de 11 sept show, AEI is joodse de club die ook Hirsi Ali inhuurde voor anti Islam propaganda.
Waar het om gaat is zionisten etc. duidelijk te maken dat ze hun eigen glazen aan het ingooien zijn, of al allemaal ingegooid hebben, opnieuw, zou ik zeggen, sinds de opstanden tegen de Romeinen, op wereldschaal.
Dat is ook in ons belang, Israel heeft een 200 atoomkoppen, en kan via Duitse onderzeeërs, ze hebben er vijf, meen ik, en zelfgebouwde kruisraketten elke hoofdstad in de wereld raken.
Martin Van Crefeld, Israelisch historicus, hoop dat ik de naam goed spel, bedreigde ons er mee.
Niet voor niets bepleit Gilad Atzmon collectieve psychotherapie voor alle joden.
Hoe gek die zíjn mag er uit blijken dat het 4 en 5 mei comitë nu alle A’damse huizen waar ooit joden woonden van plakkaten willen voorzien, alsof het iemand interesseert behalve henzelf.
Misschien hopen ze dat de afkeer van de schurkenstaat er door vermindert, ijdele hoop, lijkt me.

In ‘The Jewish State By Theodor Herzl’ vermeld het principe ‘negotiorum gestio’.
Uiteraard is het ook toe te passen op Palestina. Waarbij de gestor zaken waarneemt voor de onderdrukte personen wiens bezttingen in gevaar verkeren kan. In casu de Palestijnen.
“The Romans, with their marvellous sense of justice, produced that noble masterpiece, the negotiorum gestio. When the property of an oppressed person is in danger, any man may step forward to save it. This man is the gestor, the director of affairs not strictly his own. He has received no warrant — that is, no human warrant; higher obligations authorize him to act. The higher obligations may be formulated in different ways for the State, and so as to respond to individual degrees of culture attained by a growing general power of comprehension. The gestio . is intended to work for the good of the dominus — the people, to whom the gestor himself belongs.”

And as a Jew, I would have counted it a shame to the Jewish people if thr renewal of their life in the ancient land of Israel would be marked by hardship, expropriation, injustice of any kind, for the people now in the land, whose forbears had tilled the soil and dwelt in the towns for a thousand years. Nothing could be worse than if it were to appear that the one thing the Jewish people had learnt from the centuries of their own oppression was the way to oppress others. ……
The Zionist Organisation, it is true, fully endorsed those general principles of respect for the interests of the Arabs and desire to aid to their welfare, but there was an extremist section among them which spoke with a different language. Even Dr. Weizmann himself, in an unhappy moment, had, (pag 169) declared that he hoped that Palestine would become “as Jewish, as England is English”.

‘”The March to Expel The Jewish Colonists On September 1 2011 the deadline for the commitments of the United States and other western countries to achieve peace and establish a Palestinian state alongside the jewish state, expires. This “peace process” is merely one more show in the theater which legitimizes the israeli genocide and war crimes in Palestine and lengthens the occupation under sham “peace negotiations”. It is a filthy game invented by the US zionists, israel and its western allies in order to lengthen the occupation in Palestine. Israel, the zionist organization which was established without legitimacy or legal basis in Palestine, has shown its bad will in making real peace with Palestinians for over 63 years. The conclusion after all these years is that israel ONLY understands the language of war, murder, theft, ethnic cleansing, of stealing the tax monies from US all other countries where zionist jews have settled.
September 1 2011 is supposed to be the day of the Declaration of a Palestinian state and the end of the israeli occupation, not a further waiver or extension of the life of the zionist colonialism under the pretext of so called “peace negotiations”. Last year, on Friday September 24 2010, in Vienna, the member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA’s) 54th General Conference voted on a draft resolution introduced by the Arab States calling for israel to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The United States urged other states members of the IAEA to vote down the Arab-sponsored draft resolution. “Symbolically it is important to vote down this non-binding resolution” said the US representative to the IAEA, claiming that the vote in favor of the resolution “could disrupt a broader effort to ban such weapons in the Middle East[…]’

“…International law is clear
Uncertainty has nevertheless instilled on the « international nature » of these territories. Since Israel has annexed East Jerusalem and extended its national law to the Golan, some people consider that these territories are not international anymore. As to the West Bank, they describe it as “disputed territory”.
However, such considerations have no relevance in international law. Since 1967, the United Nations Security Council, the International Court of Justice in The Hague, as well as all members of the international community, including the United States governments, have repeatedly stated that the lands captured during the Six-Day War do not belong to Israel.
Another fact is also often neglected. All Israeli governments, including Netanyahu’s, have accepted Security Council resolutions 242, 338 and 1397, all of which establish that these territories were occupied in 1967 and do not belong to Israel.
The most recent significant document is the « Road map » adopted in 2003. It indicates that the final agreement “puts an end to the occupation which began in 1967”. The Sharon administration opposed certain parts of this document but did not question this sentence.
There are, admittedly, a handful of hawkish Israeli jurists who consider that these territories do not belong to the Palestinians nor to the Arabs. However, not even they ever claimed these territories fall under Israeli sovereignty according to international law.
To sum up, claims regarding Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Golan have no legal basis, according to international law. Therefore, anyone, including Jews of the Diaspora, is free to publicly express their views on what is happening there.[…]
