In today's NY Times op-ed section, Richard Goldstone defends his flawed report. I want to focus on one particular snippet:
Unfortunately, both Israel and Hamas have dismal records of investigating their own forces. I am unaware of any case where a Hamas fighter was punished for deliberately shooting a rocket into a civilian area in Israel — on the contrary, Hamas leaders repeatedly praise such acts. While Israel has begun investigations into alleged violations by its forces in the Gaza conflict, they are unlikely to be serious and objective.
The equivalence Goldstone draws between the Israeli judicial system and Hamas-style justice is one sick joke. What legal "recourse" does Gilad Shalit have to challenge his "detention" within the so-called legal system of Gaza?
