Where's the Goldstone Panel on Terror Attacks on Israeli Civilians?

[Ha'aretz] Yoel Marcus - The cancellation of the international air exercise with Turkey harms the strategic interests and international standing of Turkey more than Israel. Turkey's rapprochement with Syria brings it closer to the Axis of Evil than to the EU. During the battles against the Kurds in southern Turkey, the cruelty involved would not put Turkey on the list of candidates for the Nobel Prize. As if Israel's history of wars (about one every six years), two intifadas and many terror attacks on its civilian population were not enough suffering, Hamas rained Kassam rockets and mortar shells on communities in the south for eight years. No one spoke out against this, and no one's conscience was pricked. Moreover, Hamas fighters carried out a massacre of Fatah supporters in Gaza and the entire world watched as the functionaries of Fatah were tossed to their deaths from rooftops. Not one Islamic country demanded Hamas stop the massacre. How is it that no Goldstone panels were set up to examine the destruction Hamas sowed in Gaza or the murderous attacks that the terrorist organizations perpetrated on women and children in the heart of Israel?
