Truth Telling

Judge Richard J. Goldstone

"Our main recommendation is to urge both sides to look at themselves. To have their own internal investigations to judge what each did. To have a criminal investigation and to prosecute and punish the people responsible."

If you haven’t seen it, I recommend viewing the Bill Moyers’ interview with Justice Richard Goldstone, internationally recognized jurist, who headed up the UN Human Rights Council investigation into fighting in Gaza between Israel and Hamas in 2008. During 22 days of fighting, more than 1,200 Palestinians died. Three Israeli civilians were killed and ten soldiers, four of them the result of friendly fire.
