After laying out and analyzing the various relevant paragraphs from the report--and Judge Goldstone's different version presented at the Brandeis debate--Harris summarizes how the telling of the story of the al-Maqadmah mosque has changed:
The written report claims that it had been an isolated air strike unrelated to any ground operations and fire fights and explicitly claims that apparently no ground forces were in that area during that incident. Lateron [sic] the air-to-ground missile has turned into a mortar shell which does not contain any tungsten and can not be fired precisely at a mosque door and would not have allowed to make such a case of an Israeli strike because the origin of such a mortar shell would remain unclear. Now this mortar shell has turned back into a missile which is claimed to be - with certainty - a ground-to-ground missile fired by ground troops who - which is implied in it - would had been operating in the closest proximity of that mosque not mentioned by anyone in the testemonies or by the written report. And suddenly - for countering Gold's claims that the mosque had not been attacked by the IDF - Goldstone adds some tungsten shrapnels which are not mentioned in the written report with regard to this incident.
Apparently no one really cares how the mosque was destroyed--as long as it can be blamed on Israel.

What a farce, it's a chutzpah it has been endorsed, against all logic. My dad pointed me out a pasuk in Navi that says in the days before Moshiach our worst enemies will come from out own ranks ie Goldstone. But seriously - what a ****.
Btw, your blog is excellent, would you mind blogrolling me please? Naturally I would reciprocate. Please reply by e-mail.
