Shoddy Goldstone Report Adds a Zero
(Sandbox) Martin Kramer - The part of the Goldstone report treating the economic impact of the Gaza operation is largely copied from a March 2009 report compiled by the Palestinian Federation of Industries. The Goldstone report writes that "324 factories had been destroyed during the Israeli military operations at a cost of 40,000 jobs." But if you look at the report of the Palestinian Federation of Industries, it puts the job losses at these 324 factories at 4,000, not 40,000. As you ponder all those figures in the Goldstone report, keep in mind that the report isn't just biased. It's shoddy.
