Ari Shavit: Watch out for the Goldstoners: "...Nobody knows yet when the next war will break out. Maybe in a decade, maybe in a year, or maybe even next month. It is also not clear where the next war will erupt - perhaps on the Gaza border, perhaps the West Bank, or maybe in Jerusalem. But it is already clear what the next war's name will be - the Goldstone War. It will be the war brought upon us by the Goldstone report, Judge Goldstone and his Goldstoner followers..."

CAMERA: Is the Goldstone Report Escalating the Conflict?: "...The international media has been transfixed by the allegations made against Israel in the UN sponsored report. Its release comes at a time of increasing unrest, stoked by Israeli Arab and Palestinian leaders in the West Bank that has attracted little notice outside of Israel. In fact, in recent months, coverage of the situation in the West Bank has been cautiously upbeat reflecting optimistic reports by the World Bank and others of an improved economic and security situation..."

BUT, says Sever Plocker: Beware 'economic peace': "The statistics are clear and frightening: Every time the standard of living in the Palestinian parts of the West Bank reaches a new zenith, an Intifada breaks out and turns back the wheel. This was the case in 1987, this is what happened in 2000, and this may be happen now..."

BTW, is there any surprise that Sweden supports Goldstone report: "Sweden supports the Goldstone Commission's report into Operation Cast Lead, the country's foreign minister, Carl Bildt, said Thursday..."

On the general issue of the abuse of International Law to fight the war against Israel, Alan Dershowitz writes: The Hypocrisy of "Universal Jurisdiction": "...So let there be a legal proceeding -- a fair one in an objective forum -- in which Israel's policies are tested against those of other countries. The end result would be that Ehud Barak and Moshe Yaalon will be able to hold their heads up high and walk through the streets of any western city in the full knowledge that what they have done meets and indeed exceeds every standard of international law applicable to their conduct."
