Goldstone In The Clouds
Elder of Ziyon ran the the Goldstone report's conclusions and recommendations section through Wordle. It generated a "word cloud" of that section's 250 most used words. The more a word is used, the larger it appears in the cloud.
Note that "Hamas -- a keyword you'd expect to be significant in such a report's conclusions and recommendations --doesn't appear in this cloud. (Click on the cloud to view it in full size.)
As Jonathan Dahoah Halevi pointed out:
The Hamas de-facto administration and its leaders are never accused of responsibility for terrorism and firing rockets. Rather, nebulous “Palestinian armed groups” are responsible. The theme is repeated in the report’s few references to Palestinian terrorism . . . .
The issue of Hamas’ invisible responsibility for war crimes, like many other claims made by the report, shows that it is a masterpiece of deception and manipulation whose only intention is to frame Israel for war crimes and exonerate Hamas.
UPDATE Oct. 28: Elder just found "Hamas after all, posting the following comment:
"Hamas" is there, just very very tiny. Look on the right hand side above the word "attacks." (I had to increase the number of words from the default 150 to 250 to find it.)

I found the word a few moments after looking at this. I'm surprised the Elder didn't know where it is. I thought he was sarcastic when asking "can you find the word 'Hamas'?" in his post. Then again I remember when being a kid I had many "I Spy" books and other books in which you had to find specific items in a picture. I was fairly good at it, besides maybe Elder is simply more optimistic than I am. I EXPECTED "Hamas" to be a really small word.
