Goldstone: I am not a schnook - 'Goldstone feels that Israel is now guilty of war crimes until proven innocent. Is it any wonder that Israel's president would attack him? Goldstone has declared Israel a pariah, Peres should not have been silent. Goldstone's commission - effectively accepting a mandate from the OIC - has set out impossible standards for a democracy, specifically Israel, from defending itself against terror. All of Israel's efforts to protect civilians were arbitrarily deemed insufficient. So according to Goldstone, how would Israeli defend itself? And why does he fear debating Alan Dershowitz? Like another Richard he seems unable to take criticism. Unfortunately he's so convinced of his own righteousness that he won't just go away for a few years.'
