Many Israeli critics of Judge Richard Goldstone, who led the UNHRC investigation into Israeli action in Gaza, have mercilessly attacked him for charging Israel with committing war crimes during the operation. They were also incensed that he accused the only democracy in the Middle East of stifling dissent and claiming that the courts helped the state do so.

The commission relied on the findings of Adalah for much of its information regarding police arrests and the conduct of the state prosecution and the courts regarding detainees.
