On April 3, International Middle East Media Center contributor Celine Hagbard headlined, "Goldstone Flip-flops After Talk with Racist Zionists," saying:
He attended, but didn't participate in, a recent Stanford University debate between two lawyers and two Zionist academics, apparently buying their convoluted self-defense arguments to justify crimes of war and against humanity.
"Yes, it's true," she said, "5 Israeli civilians were killed by erratic, un-aimed homemade shells fired (in response to Israeli attacks) from Gaza. And 9 Israeli soldiers were killed invading Gaza," at least three by friendly fire. Compare that to thousands of (mostly civilian) Palestinian deaths and injuries, many serious, as well as vast destruction of schools, hospitals, businesses, homes, infrastructure, and other civilian targets.
"It seems that Richard Goldstone now sees these two sides as morally equivalent," no matter which one began hostilities, rightfully giving the other just cause to respond as international law allows.
"How ironic," said Hagbard, that Goldstone "published his (op-ed) in the Washington Post (an establishment paper, strongly supporting Israel) on April Fool's Day, as he has proven by it that he has let himself become one," as well as co-opted, compromised and corrupted, betraying those who believed in him and truth.
