FROM THE PREFACE

The Report published by the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, better known by the name of its head, as the “Goldstone Report” was a major breakthrough in three senses.   In the first place the Report was the most systematic, detailed study of Israeli violations of international law in its wars against the Palestinian people.

The Report concludes that the actions of the Israeli Government could lead to a “competent court finding that crimes against humanity have been committed.” The Report was approved by a vast majority in the United Nations General Assembly …
