snip - A citizen truly concerned with the future of our state will call on our leaders to not only vote in favor of Palestinian statehood in the UN, but to sponsor the resolution.

Okay, so Israel has been exonerated from the allegations in the Goldstone Report. We can all breathe a sigh of relief. We now know for sure the IDF did not intentionally kill Palestinian noncombatants.

In all of the many interviews I gave on the Report, I said two things: (1) the report demanded that Israel conduct an independent investigation to determine the validity of the charges in it – as a citizen I also demanded that my government investigate those charges; and (2) I believed that the final report would have been quite different if Israel had cooperated with the mission. I stand by those two statements.
