Israel Asks for Goldstone Report to Be Repealed
(AP) Aron Heller - Israel said Sunday it was launching an international campaign to push the UN to rescind a scathing report on Israeli war conduct in Gaza two years ago, after the report's author, international jurist Richard Goldstone, said that his most serious accusation against Israel - that it deliberately targeted civilians - appeared to have been wrong. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet Sunday that Goldstone's comments vindicated Israel's wartime conduct. "There are very few instances in which those who disseminate libels retract their libel. This happened in the case of the Goldstone report....This leads us to call for the immediate cancellation of the Goldstone report."
