The Goldstone Hustle

(New York Post) Benny Avni - The UN General Assembly resumes its hearings on Friday on allegations that Israel committed war crimes in Gaza last winter. The Goldstone report ginned up a narrative claiming that Israel's true aim wasn't to end Hamas' daily barrage of rockets at civilians, but was instead part of a grand strategy to beat Gazans into submission. Israel has always been the enemy's first target in the War on Terror. From plane hijackings to suicide bombings, every terrorist tactic was created and perfected by anti-Israel terrorists before migrating to American and European shores. Similarly, the Palestinian terrorists' use of Palestinian civilians' suffering to enrage world opinion was quickly copied in other theaters of war. If Goldstone's tactics succeed, future imitators will surely build cases for "war crimes" in Iraq, Afghanistan or Yemen. The U.S. should protect Israel in this case as if it were protecting itself - because it is.
