Goldstone Verbally Stoned with Facts

Yom shlishi, 2 Cheshvan 5770.

Thank you, Colonel Richard Kemp, for lifting my spirits.  Thank you, Jack, for the heads up.


Another little twist in Jewish political history in the making:  a Jew speaks against his people, and a Brit stands up for us.  Life is never boring for The People of the Holy Land.

This colonel is something else. Richard Kemp is a man of truth. What if all generals and heads of state were to be as conscientious. What a beacon of light in a house of darkness (the U.N.)!

Sweet. My night just got a bit brighter. Thanks.

It's about time us Brits got back on the side of Israel. We've retreated a LONG way since the Balfour declaration. No surprise that Britain lost most of its Empire in 1948 and thereabouts when it started to creep back from all the promises it made.

It doesn' t take a Brit to realize the good Colonel is an exception to the English rule, sparrow! Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

After his literary gaffe, and following the resulting criticisms, Goldstone was given a chance to reply
on the CNN program 'GPS'. His brilliant response was to assert that as a Jew he has an added responsibility to be critical of the Jewish State. The upshot: when a person relies on cliche in his own defense he might as well admit he's wrong.
