Daily Goldstone 10/5

CAMERA finds many problems with the Goldstone Report.

REPORT:	There is no evidence of Palestinian fighters using civilian clothes.
FACT:	Journalists and eyewitnesses repeatedly noted the use of civilian clothes by Hamas fighters.
REPORT:	There is no evidence of armed groups directing civilians to areas where attacks were being launched or forcing them to remain in the vicinity of attacks.
FACT:	Palestinian witnesses and video evidence reveal that fighters did direct civilians to areas where attacks were being launched.
REPORT:	There is no evidence that hospitals or ambulances were used for military activities.
FACT:	Eyewitnesses describe Palestinian firing from hospitals and use of ambulances.
REPORT:	The mission could not determine whether mosques were used for military purposes.
FACT:	There is video evidence of weaponry stored in a mosque, and of secondary explosions of mosques consistent with the storage of explosives.
REPORT:	The amount of aid allowed into Gaza by Israel decreased after the end of the fighting.
FACT:	If not false, the assertion is at best disingenuous. The average weekly number of humanitarian shipments increased in the months after the war ended.
TESTIMONY:	The Zeitoun area is pacifist and had no militant groups or rocket fire.
REPORT:	This witness is credible and reliable, and there is no reason to doubt his testimony.
FACT:	There are many documented cases of Palestinian militants being killed in armed clashes in the neighborhood.
TESTIMONY:	The al Fakhoura area was not used to fire at Israel, and no combatants were killed in the Fakhoura incident.
REPORT:	The Report was based in part on three interviews with the Hamas official who made the above claim, and did not cast doubt on his testimony.
FACT:	Palestinian eyewitnesses and Israel note that the area was used to fire at Israel, and that combatants were killed in the Israeli strike.
