In response to Richard Goldstone's mea culpa, and as a matter of simple justice, let's cut off all U.S. taxpayer support for the UN until its Human Rights Council condemns all abuses equally.

If progressive Jews really believe that ending the occupation and supporting a Palestinian state is in Israel's best interests, they will turn the tables on their "mainstream" friends.

I know Israel acts very improperly sometimes, but make up your mind already. Either it's the worst of humanity or the fog of war. Don't you understand that discourse about this conflict has no place for nuance and reappraisal?

The more defenders of Israeli policies overreach and try to capitalize on Goldstone's op-dd in the Washington Post, the more pressure Goldstone will be under to disappoint them by clarifying his position.

Richard Goldstone has given us is an example of someone who is willing, despite everything, to acknowledge when mistaken and to come forward and own up.

It's clear that with his most recent ramblings the description 'respected international jurist' will never again be appended to Richard Goldstone. But much more troubling are the comments now being attributed to Samantha Power.

It's too easy for J Street to pile on when the alleged abuser is a conservative Republican. It's far more difficult, and costly, for J Street to go after fellow leftists who abuse language, especially those with large followings among its supporters.

Richard Goldstone has said that he hopes that new evidence proves his report wrong. Now is the time for him to show whether he is "mensch" enough to step forward and set the record straight.

Thanksgiving is itself an act of Tikkun Olam. It celebrates the bridging of fierce differences, the coming together of seeming opposites, the idea that helping people takes precedence over barriers of creed.

Democracy for America doesn't seem to have a problem with backing those who support the self-destructive policies of Netanyahu, though they would refuse to support those who backed the same kinds of policies under Bush.

In these days of extremism at home, we cling to a narrow, selective definition of terrorism, while ignoring blatant forms of terrorism in our midst. In doing so, we can't see the forest for the trees.

Rabbi Lerner's San Francisco home was defaced by political posters permanently glued on by whom he suspects to be right wing Zionists critical of him and Richard Goldstone.

Richard Goldstone should not use his grandson's bar mitzvah to selectively silence rabbis who disagree with his report.
David Shasha | Posted 05.25.2011
What Israel means to me at the moment is the fact of Jews persecuting other Jews for speaking out and affirming the traditions of the past, of being "Old Jews" rather than "New Jews."

For years now I've found myself linked in the blogosphere with a number of namesakes. It's an odd set of coincidences, but I've followed their caree...

Obama's Mideast speech laid out a new vision for Israel and the Palestinians. But the U.S. can't impose solutions unless the participants break out of the old patterns of antagonism.

In stupidly shunning people like Judge Goldstone we in the Jewish community are alienating those who need the light of Jewish values most.

ICC Review Conference is an historic convening of the highest order for furthering the ultimate goal of ending impunity for the world's gravest crimes.

In their zeal to demonize Goldstone, some Israel defenders miss the point that it is possible to condemn the Goldstone Report without promoting a hypocritical campaign of character assassination.
Rabbi Brant Rosen | Posted 05.25.2011
When a Jew accuses rabbis of blood libel -- when a world-famous lawyer compares an internationally respected jurist to the Nazis' "Angel of Death" -- it smells very strongly of one thing: desperation.

The military wing of the terrorist organization Hamas has a Twitter account. You can simply "Follow" them on your personal account because Twitter refused to remove Hamas' account.

Richard Goldstone is an ambitious opportunist who lacks the courage of his convictions -- if he ever had any. He has always put personal advancement over principle. He is a master of rationalization and self-justification.
