I'm just writing to say that I prefer your old format to your new one. The old format discussed one topic or dishonest article per communique, and the reader did not have to click on any links to read the whole article. Thus, it was all out in front of you...nothing was hidden. With the current format, if the introduction doesn't hook the reader, the reader may not click on the link. Or, the reader might click on only 1 out of 3 or 4 links. I much prefer the old format. Thanks for all the good work that you do, Mendl Malkin http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2010/01/dershowitz-rips-apart-goldstone.html Dershowitz rips apart Goldstone 45 pages of damning critique: Most of Dershowitz's findings are things we have seen before, but he presents it well, focused on the report's flawed methodology and clear bias. Read the whole thing. Finally the truth one year on, starts to emerge with much clearer detail, Goldstone having already had enough detail to have decided that Hamas was the war criminal BEFORE he published his report and that it was right to condemn it. Having to put up with the effects of his very damaging piece, the clear message that these new reports now give will sadly, reach a much smaller audience and with much less coverage. Most of the lies I predict will remain in tact and will remain quoted as factual. "Zionists" according to Israel's enemies will be accused of trying to distort the truth, even if later, even if Goldstone did decide to write a corrective report. If he did, he will be accused of buckling under pressure from "Zionists" and that Israel's detractors will then apply pressure on the UN to uphold the original report. If they didn't they would after all be admitting that most of the UN's General Assembly who voted for the report were wrong all along-and that cannot be a comfortable thought.Mmm.. I cannot think of a single reason for any intelligent person to take the Goldstone report as anything but brutal antisemetic trash. Why he took the evidence he was shown as g-ds truth and not propaganda makes me wonder how he viewed evidence in his courtroom. The IDF made mistakes. it was war! Goldstone is glorified by the Palestinian lovers (Jimmy Carter who now apologizes for his nonsensical speeches is one). Because he is a Jew and many of worst anti-Semites are often Jews, They deny being Jewish because they want to be like everyone else and for some reason they are ashamed of it (they need to see the movie Auntie Mame). That in itself should make the report suspect. I have only met a few Jews that are Israel bashers and when I do I tell them how I grew up during world war 11. and walk away shaking my head. Those are Americans who have never been scared by living in a country such as I did, Engand. The people at my school (all Boys) where I was the only Jew often said "MANY OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE JEWS" of course they were lying but wanted to be politically correct. Did they not know I knew?. If these anti-Semetic American jews had grown up where they could not openly go to shul (we went to a secret home), where the talk was not to go out in the evening (windows were blacked) and we were told that the German spies would get us, THEN THEY WOULD KNOW THAT ISRAEL REPRESENTS A HAVEN where any Jew can go should the need arise. One only has to look at the outflow of Jews from Europe. They are leaving by the thousands and going to live in Israel to understand what I say. It is a shame that Goldstone will not go on a show where Alan Dershowitz can discuss his report. The whole report is lies and distortions which the public are willing to believe and which will, sadly cause more anti-semitic attacks on the jewish people around the world! I intend to give to the upcoming summit with Mike Evans meeting with Christian leaders in praying with and for Benjamin Netanyahu;for the peace of Jerusalem and the safety of Israel Why even discuss or give any credence to anything regarding the Jewish state that comes out of the U.N. (or most any other international organization for that matter). Haven't you people learned that other than yourselves and a few right-thinking (righteous?) Gentiles there is noone in your corner. Some will speak to your defense, but so few do so openly or do anything else to help. I for one wish you, and that wonderful little country of yours, well. |
