So much for tshuva (penitence): Goldstone won't retract report
For those of you who thought that Richard Goldstone would do a full mea culpa over his scurrilous report about Operation Cast Lead, you were wrong, at least for now. Goldstone will not retract his report. On Tuesday, AP reported that the interior minister [Eli Yishai] had said that Goldstone, “as a Jew understands well the story of the Jewish people’s suffering ... and it is very important for him to come and see this." Yishai added that Goldstone had made a promise to work towards an official retraction of the report.Come on - you didn't really think the world was suddenly going to love us, did you?
Goldstone told the Associated Press that Yishai had invited him, and that he accepted the invitation but would not be able to come until July. He added that he ended his conversation with Yishai expressing his "love for Israel."
As for his report on the 2009 Gaza offensive, Goldstone reiterated that the "intentionality on the part of Israel" required review, and that "domestic investigation could lead to further reconsideration." The judge concluded, however, that no part of the report needed reconsideration at the present time.

Eli Yishai was stupid enough to believe Goldstone really changed?
Oy vey! That's like expecting to change its spots.
Here the Stupid Jews again fall for it!
So a couple of days ago he said that if he had known then what he knows now, the report would have been very different. And now he says that he doesn't think any part of it should be retracted????? WTF???
"The judge concluded, however, that no part of the report needed reconsideration at the present time."
WTF?
Well, at least if he shows up he's there to be directly confronte....um, engaged by Israelis curious about the thought processes of an internationally feted moser.
